Neurofeedback Training

WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?

EEG Neurofeedback or brain wave training is a brain training process which takes advantage of the body’s ability to self-regulate and seek balance.

Neurofeedback is a way to quantify and train brain waves (electrical activities of brain classified by frequency).

Neurofeedback trains the brainmuch like exercises are used to train specific muscles.

The more the brain is exercised into reaching a more comfortable, more efficient position, the stronger and more efficient it becomes.

This exercising the brain to gain new skills to alter its own function is what makes neurofeedback such a powerful technique.

WHY  NEUROFEEDBACK?

Neurofeedback – brain training has grown manifolds over the last decade along with advances in technology and new researches regarding how brain functions, how neuron’s connections are made and how information is transmitted. 

Neuroplasticity  principles are universally accepted now. Neuroplasticity is the ability of our brain to always learn, unlearn and relearn for optimal functioning.

It is a tool utilizing principle of operant conditioning which provides information of behavior of population of neurons that causes change in mind states, cognition and behavior.

And of course the more you exercise your brain, more efficient and healthier it gets.

HOW IT WORKS?

In neurofeedback, this electrical activity is recorded by placing sensors on scalp  (EEG- Electroencephalograph) and then displayed on screen using computer.

 Auditory, visual and tactile cues let client know when brain activity is optimal and when not (Feedback).

Through this, gradually client learns how to quiet brainwave patterns associated with low performance and how to boost up brainwave pattern associated with optimal brain function.

In simple words, client sees a video, or plays a game that he/she controls with his/her brain.

FOR WHOM?

It is for all who want to relax, increase productivity and experience greater control over mind states.

And one of my friend shared his experience, Neurofeedback training helps stay in the “NOW”

and ‘NOW’ is always joyful 🙂
