Why EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback has been found to be a successful training for a number of today’s disorders with the brain.  We use neurofeedback in Los Angeles to treat the following:

  • Addiction
  • ADHD
  • Anxiety
  • Autism
  • Depression
  • Learning disorders
  • Sleep disorder
  • Migraine headaches
  • Pain management
  • PTSD
  • Tramautic Brain Injury (TBI)

EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback training essentially trains the brain to self-regulate. EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback is gaining popularity because it reduces symptoms of a variety of medical and psychological conditions in a safe and drug-free manner.

Neurofeedback training (NFT) has its foundations in basic and applied neuroscience as well as data-based clinical practice. It is a method of treatment that encourages self-regulation through operant conditioning.

Research demonstrates that with respect to epilepsy and ADHD, neurofeedback is an effective intervention. Ongoing research is investigating the effectiveness of EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback for other disorders such as autism, insomnia, anxiety, substance abuse, TBI, headaches, and other pain disorders, and is promising.

 EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback Training

Neurofeedback provides moment-to-moment information to an individual on the state of their brain’s psychological functioning.  In EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback training, the video and auditory feedback send reward messages back to the client which encourage the desired wave activity.

During EEG Biof./Neurofeedback training, sensors are placed on the scalp and then connected to sensitive electronics and computer software that detect, amplify, and record specific brain activity.  Resulting information is fed back to the trainee virtually instantaneously.

Based on this feedback and various principles of learning and practitioner guidance, changes in brain wave patterns occur and are associated with positive change in physical, emotional, and cognitive states. 

Often the EEG B./neurofeedback trainee is not consciously aware of the mechanisms by which such changes are accomplished although people routinely acquire a “felt sense” of these positive changes and often are able to access these states outside the feedback session.
