What is Neurofeedback?
This is a learning technique by which the brain improves its function by receiving information about its own brain waves. The brain can be encouraged to produce more or less of certain brain waves by the simple feedback of music, audio tones, and visual information. Too many of one kind of brain wave, or too few of another, are the root source behind many unwanted symptoms, including ADD/ADHD, migraines, sleep disturbance, long-term reactions to trauma, anxiety, depression, and general mental slowing – problems with thinking and memory. Seizures and headache can also be helped with Neurofeedback.
Neurofeedback enhances the brain's communication network in a painless and noninvasive way. Areas that are functioning poorly can improve towards normalcy. Areas that are functioning adequately can be brought to more optimal functioning. In some cases, it can reduce or eliminate a client's need for medication.
Also referred to as EEG Biofeedback, the research base of this field – along with successful training – has grown rapidly and internationally since the 1980s. Neurofeedback is practiced by a wide range of trained professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, neurologists, and certified neurofeedback practitioners.
Our NeuroCare system targets electrical turbulence -- i.e. unnecessary and unuseful activity that disturbs the Central Nervous System (CNS). All disorder is accompanied by turbulence, which is an important indicator. The NeuroCare system feeds back key information as to when that is happening -- when the CNS is being inefficient, ineffective, and causing its own discomfort. The CNS detects that difference (because the music is interrupted BRIEFLY, almost subconsciously) and it returns to present awareness. This detection of distinct changes in the surrounding environment, including sound, is called the Orienting Response. It is the intrinsic language of the CNS.
