What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is also referred to as EEG, Biofeedback, or Neurotherapy. It is a state-of-the-art, therapeutic training tool that can be used to improve a variety of health conditions or increase personal potential.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to monitor brain wave activity and "feedback" information to the brain about its activity. A certified Neurofeedback professional provides the necessary instruction and interpretation to encourage the brain to function within a more appropriate pattern level. This involves increasing or decreasing certain brain wave frequency activities at certain locations. In effect, the brain learns to function with greater control and stability through self-regulation.

EEG Neurofeedback has received a lot of media attention in recent years. Newspaper and magazine articles, as well as television reports have cited cases where EEG Neurofeedback has helped people with serious and debilitating neurological problems when no other therapies seem to work.
