What is Neurofeedback?
Treatment Session & Benefits
Offered by Therapists based in London, Ontario
Neurofeedback Training, addresses neuropsychological functions and acts as a tool to increase the self-regulatory capabilities of the brain. Neurofeedback involves measuring and recording electrical signals from electrodes that are placed on the scalp. Neurofeedback is also called EEG (electroencephalogram) biofeedback and is based on electrical brain activity. It has its foundation in basic and applied neuroscience, as well as evidence-based clinical practice.
Neurofeedback has been reported to be effective with symptoms associated with:
- Anxiety, depression, fear, aversion and anger
- ADHD, foggy thinking, memory
- Energy, sleep, motivation
- Concussions/head injury
- Seizures, strokes and migraines
- Addiction recovery and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
What to expect in a Neurofeedback treatment session
You will sit comfortably in a chair while sensor wires from an EEG are clipped on each ear and another is placed on your head (the location is dependent on the area being treated). Some electrode gel or cream is applied to the ear clip sensor and attached to both ears, to improve the quality of the recording. No needles, shocks, skin penetrating or other invasive procedures are used. The Neurofeedback equipment assesses you brainwaves, measured at discrete locations on the scalp. Sessions typically occur on a weekly basis and training sessions take approximately 45 minutes.
Benefits
Neurofeedback has been shown to bring about significant improvements in attentiveness and impulse control, decreases in hyperactivity and improvement of academic performance. Many people feel increased energy, ease, clarity and calmness after a neurofeedback session. They report improvements in energy, sleep, memory, mood and focus and concentration.
