Neurofeedback contributes to neural plasticity by addressing excesses and deficits,
in particular frequency bands, that are corrected using inhibition or augmentation training.
The aim is to improve self-regulation and to build a resilience prior to known stressors manifesting.
Taking control and knowing that what you are aware of, you can change.

Neurofeedback: METHODS and MODALITIES
WHAT HAPPENS IN A NEUROFEEDBACK SESSION
Sensors are placed on the client’s head with paste to hold them in position and to conduct the electrical signal. One or two of these are also placed on the earlobe. These sensors measure the electrical activity coming from the brain at the specific sites being monitored. This information is fed into a computer for analysis and is converted into game-like displays on the screen. The better the performance, the more stimulating the feedback. The client is constantly given information regarding the state of their brain with auditory and visual signals. After practicing during sessions, the peak performance changes are usually long-lasting.
INFORMATION ON NEUROFEEDBACK
IS NEUROFEEDBACK FOR YOU
With neurofeedback you can improve your functionality in your own life, daily, with better planning, reasoning and decision making. The goal of neurofeedback is to train the brain to move from one brain state to another to accommodate each new task, therefore improving academic performance, mood, behaviour, and thought processing. Neurofeedback is an effective option for people with difficulties such as concentration, hyperactivity, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders
EFFICACY… HOW EFFECTIVE IS NEUROFEEDBACK
Neurofeedback efficacy is graded on a 1-5 scale. Where a rating of 1 is not empirically supported it
consists primarily of case studies or anecdotal reports. A rating of 5 indicates that the therapy
has been found to be superior.
Neurofeedback has been proven effective (level 4) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and anxiety disorders.
Correcting the excessive theta activity and deficits of beta seen in the central and frontal areas of the brain in ADHD,
contributes to improvement in perfusion in areas of impaired or sluggish brain function.
