Neurofeedback Training the New biofeedback technique:
Being a relatively new kid on the block, this technique is an actual training program that allows the patient to use his brain to train itself to he’ll itself using different tools and results through EEG tests, and NO it is not SCIENCE FICTION. but is a proven and reputable technique that specially trained, a scientifically-proven technique used daily by psychotherapists.
Though it does take time to show results as it is a gradual therapeutic learning process and can differentiate from patient to patient and ailment to ailment.
This technique uses the patient’s brainwaves to give feedback as to the illnesses versus the treatment and thus allowing the learning process to take effect at the patient’s pace.
Previous types of treatments and techniques employed the use of a vacuum environment in total blackouts in sight band sound, but this approach is totally opposite.
The patient gets bombarded with vibrant visual images and sounds that activate and stimulate and the readings from there are interpreted into where and what the problem is and a learning program can be worked out from there.
The patient plays a major part in this process as he control s what he can see and process and learns from it, and this without extra or necessary medications and treatments.
As this is non-evasive treatment and is widely accepted in the scientific community, it can help with ailments such as:
- depression
- attention deficit disorder
- anxiety
- sleep disorders
- headaches and migraines
- and other emotional issues.
It has also proven to help with organic brain disorders especially in the elderly like:
- autism,
- cerebral palsy
- and seizures.
Acting as a teacher and guide the medical professional conducts these tests typically once a week and acts in a supportive and or active role.
Without removing any hair on the scalp, electrodes are placed strategically to monitor and listen in on the brainwaves by both patient and doctor and follow the brainwave activity and thus work out a treatment plan.
This is not just non-evasive but is painless and the amount of electricity applied has no discomfort effects.
With all this info being fed from the brain into the computer which is viewed by the patient, they can see what the brain is doing while going through certain emotions and ailments and this is all done in real-time as it is part of the healing as you view the images portrayed by the computer you can even see what changes happen for the better or worse to your reactions of these images to each part of the brain being treated.
Through repetitive training and adjustments, certain brain frequencies that are operating at the very low levels are replaced with promoting the use of the higher operating levels of brain frequencies that are healthier and though it sounds difficult, it isn’t as the electrodes give all the information needed.
Though effective Neurofeedback Training sessions take anywhere from 15 to 35 sessions there is a positive outcome of around 80 %
