What is it?

Neurofeedback uses the power of self-regulation to directly address areas of the brain that have started to function outside of normal ranges. With each training session, you will learn how to increase (or decrease) activity and work towards optimal brain health. The result, a long-lasting, drug-free, non-invasive way of making you and your brain happy.

How does it work?

Neurofeedback is scientifically supported to help reduce the severity and frequency of commonly experienced negative symptoms. Small sensors are placed around the scalp that record brain activity in real-time. When the brain activity beneath the sensors enters normal ranges of activity, a visual and/or auditory reward is produced, telling you that your brain is now working as it was intended to. Neurofeedback training encourages the brain to generate new neurons and new neural pathways, resulting in a reduction of negative symptoms and improving quality of life.

THE PROCESS

  • The brain mapping, also known as a quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG), allows our clinical staff to non-invasively measure and assess brainwave activity at 19 major hubs of activity around the scalp. Each individual brain will have its own signature and the results are called a brain map. Your results are compared to a database of thousands of other brain maps that are within the same age group or developmental stage. This comparison allows our team to precisely identify which areas of the brain are functioning outside of normal ranges. Years of research has shown that there are specific biomarkers or common electrical patterns that are associated with different disorders. For example, children with ADHD will show excessive slow-wave activity in the front of their brains.

    Brain mapping gives our clinical staff the information necessary to customize a neurofeedback training program that is entirely unique to your brains's needs. Information identified in the brain mapping can help explain why some symptoms continue to interfere with our quality of life.

  • After the completion of your brain mapping, an appointment will be scheduled to review the results. At this appointment, the nurse practitioner will provide you with a clear understanding of why the brain is functioning the way it is. Your results from the brain mapping will be used to create a plan for the neurofeedback trainings.

  • Neurofeedback training is when the areas of electrical dysregualtion shown in the brain map will be addressed. Training sessions will teach the brain to function more optimally by recording the brain in real time and rewarding it when certain goals are met. The reward that is produced conditions the brain to continue "behaving" in this new, more optimal way.

    Most individuals are able to see significant or complete elimination of negative symptoms in 40-60 sessions. Although the rate of sessions varies, most client will train 2-3 times a week. In that time, the brain will have rewired itself creating lasting changes.

  • After 8-10 training sessions, a re-mapping will be scheduled and will again be interpreted for you by your provider. Together you will discuss progress, establish future goals, and review options moving forward. The information received in the follow-up brain mapping will again be used to design your unique training protocol for the next group of sessions.
