Overview

NEUROFEEDBACK What is neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is a brain training process that allows people to self-control their brain functions by measuring their brain waves and then providing a feedback signal to encourage or discourage a certain brain activity.1 This is done by placing electrodes on a particular part of the patient’s head to obtain their electroencephalographic (EEG) or brain wave activity. When the detected EEG activity is in an optimal range, the patient receives a visual or auditory cue that is perceived as “good” and is considered a reward. When the EEG activity is abnormal, the patient receives feedback that it is “bad” to encourage the patient to change their brain activity.   Consistent sessions are needed to reinforce positive changes in brain function. Typically, patients will notice a difference of about ten sessions; however, 20 sessions are generally required to retrain the brain.
