What Is NeuroFeedBack?
Have you ever seen people who suffer from unwanted behavioral patterns but still refuse to see psychotherapists out of the fear of drugs and side effects?
Have you ever looked for a non-invasive and drug-free way to train the brain and improve your mood, behavior, learning patterns, and physical symptoms?
It is exactly how NeuroFeedBack helps you. NeuroFeedBack provides a safe way for people to improve their brain activity by training their brain waves, decreasing the power or amplitude of undesired frequency bands, and increasing the desired ones.
The therapist provides a corresponding protocol for each client, Neurofeedback is able to give feedback by rewarding in the process of playing a game or watching a movie, demonstrating how the client’s brain waves are functioning.
The brain, which is a self-regulating organ, automatically corrects its function by receiving appropriate feedbacks about behavioral patterns.
Who Can Benefit?
Everyone can benefit from NeuroFeedBack therapy. It is like going to a gym that is useful for anyone. It is practical for any age, from children who suffer from learning problems to adults who like to be at their peak performance in their work and also for elders who want to keep their brain capacities well. Neurofeedback can be used to improve attention, cognitive abilities, and emotional management. It is used in the treatment of numerous disorders like depression, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, sleep disorders, headaches, migraines, and other emotional issues. It can be used for organic brain disorders, such as autism, cerebral palsy, seizures, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. It can also be helpful for people who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction and conditions like mood swings and PMS.
How Does It Affect the Brain?
Is this like fiction that a person can learn how to regulate his brain waves and promote his functionality? Interestingly, you may have experienced it before, when you first learned how to ride a bicycle! That time, your brain learned how to self-regulate your state of balance during biking, using the feedback that has been received from gravity.
Just as same as your eyes that helped your brain learn how to bike, NeuroFeedBack sends feedback to the person about his current brain status when playing games and movies.
It requires no effort from your side, the central nervous system settles to reorganize neural connections to modify the function of those parts.
While you watch a movie or play games, your subconscious brain modifies itself based on the received information during the games or movies.
For clients, it seems like a miracle when they see how symptoms are diminishing in their lives.
It is a power of your brain that is beyond the conscious awareness process.
Impressively, this method has been scientifically and empirically proven to be effective and has been increasingly practiced by specially-trained psychotherapists.
How Does It Work?
The therapist provides a proper protocol for you according to your problem. He puts the sensors on a specific location of your scalp to record the electrical activity (known as EEG) of those particular parts of your brain.
You sit in front of a monitor and just watch a movie or play a game with your brain.
What happens During the procedure?
During a biofeedback session, a therapist attaches electrical sensors to different parts of your body. These sensors might be used to monitor your brain waves, skin temperature, muscle tension, heart rate, and breathing. This information is fed back to you via cues, such as changes on a monitor, a beeping sound, or a flashing light.
The feedback teaches you to change or control your body’s reactions by changing your thoughts, emotions, or behavior. This can help the condition for which you sought treatment.
For instance, biofeedback can pinpoint tense muscles that are causing headaches.
You then learn how to make deliberate physical changes in your body, such as relaxing specific muscles, to reduce your pain. The ultimate goal with biofeedback is to learn to use these techniques at home on your own.
A typical biofeedback session lasts 30 to 60 minutes. The length and number of sessions are determined by your condition and how quickly you learn to control your physical responses.
