BrainWave Therapy, also known as neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback, is simply biofeedback for the brain. Some people describe it as exercise for the brain; the brain strengthens specific brainwaves like a weightlifter lifts weights to strengthen specific muscles. Prominent brainwave activity correlates to various behavioral and emotional states such as daydreaming, feeling anxious, or acting impulsively.
If, for example, one is having a difficult time paying attention in class or at work, BrainWave Therapy teaches the brain to train itself to reduce the brainwave frequencies correlated with inattentiveness and to increase brainwave frequencies correlated with calm, alert attention.
With state-of-the-art computer technology, the brain is given real-time information on its own functioning, and, over time, is able to better regulate its own functioning. While many clients come in to improve one or two specific areas, neurofeedback training helps the entire brain work more efficiently and effectively, thus improving performance in many more domains.
Potential Benefits of BrainWave Therapy are:
Increased concentration
Improved mood and sense of well-being
Decreased hyperactivity
Decreased agitation
Increased mental flexibility
Improved mental stamina
BrainWave Therapy has been shown to be helpful for improving functioning for people with numerous conditions including:
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Anxiety
Depression
Autism
Also, many people use neurofeedback to gain mental clarity and deal more effectively with day-to-day stress.
