What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback (also known as EEG biofeedback) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that trains individuals to regulate their own brain activity. It is based on real-time monitoring of brainwave patterns, typically using electroencephalography (EEG).

How it works:

Measurement: Sensors are placed on the scalp to record electrical activity (brainwaves).

Feedback: Computer software analyzes the EEG signals and provides immediate feedback to the individual—often in the form of visual, auditory, or tactile cues (e.g., a changing animation or sound).

Training: The person learns, through this feedback, to modify their brainwave patterns. Over time, this can help improve self-regulation of brain function.

Applications: Neurofeedback is used as a complementary therapy for various conditions, including:

-Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

-Anxiety

-Depression

-Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

-Sleep disorders

-Epilepsy

-Migraines

-Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
