1
What is Neurofeedback?
Read More- Neurofeedback is a way to quantify and train brain activity;
- It is brainwave biofeedback.
- The basic principles of how neurofeedback works are deceptively simple.
- Communication between groups of cells in the brain generates thoughts, sensations, actions and emotions.
- This activity is detectable in the form of brainwaves - electrical impulses generated by your brain activity.

What happens in a Neurofeedback session?
Read More- During a neurofeedback session, sensors detect your brainwaves to see your brain in action.
- A computer compares your brain activity to targets or goals for you to reach.
- Sounds and images tell you immediately when your brain reaches your goal and when not - when you are activating or suppressing the target area of the brain.
- Through this simple method, you learn how to quiet brainwaves associated with low performance and increase brainwaves associated with optimal brain function.
- Much like physical exercises strengthen and develop specific muscles, the more your brain is exercised into reaching a new more comfortable, more efficient position, the better and stronger it gets at it.
- Like any new skill, it simply requires feedback and practice.

What is Neurofeedback used for?
Read More- As the brain governs your emotional health, psychological health and every system in your body, training it into better function has far reaching benefits.
- Neurofeedback has an excellent track record for symptom resolution over a broad spectrum of emotional and brain-based conditions.
- Neurofeedback is used to teach children with ADHD how to calm and concentrate, and is rated level 1 'best practice' intervention for ADHD.
- NASA uses neurofeedback to train astronauts.
- The US military use it to train their Special Forces, and have adopted neurofeedback as a new intervention for PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- It’s used in professional football, by Olympic athletes, and is available privately for health, well-being, and personal development
