What Is Neurofeedback Therapy?
A young teenage girl and child therapist during EEG neurofeedback session.You may be asking, “What’s neurofeedback therapy, and can it truly help me?” Think about it as a mediation on steroids that helps to train the brain.
This therapy teaches the brain to identify atypical brainwave patterns. The brain can then replace these irregular patterns with healthy brain activity.
Neurofeedback therapy involves attaching sensors to the patient’s scalp and ears to measure brain activity. With the use of software, we can analyze the activity in the brain to identify brain imbalance.
This therapy isn’t a cure; it’s an intervention that manages how the brain works to improve its function. Like riding a bike, this therapy works on operant conditioning, which means upright is good and falling down is bad. Rewarding the optimal function of the brain improves how the brain works.
How Does Neurofeedback Therapy Work?
During your session, the provider will place sensors on certain areas of the head. The sensors send the activity to a computer. It uses a special kind of software to process signals in the brain.
The brain will then receive feedback from the software. It’ll direct brainwave activity to a more desirable pattern. The goal is to identify areas of dysfunction to address them. Changing brainwave activity is all part of using the power of neuroplasticity.
It takes time and repetition to get the most benefit out of it. If you have a severe neurological condition, you might need to undergo more than a few sessions.
