What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback, or brain wave biofeedback is a non-medical, but science-based, general training that takes advantage of the body’s natural ability to self-regulate and seek balance. Non-invasive sensors or “electrodes” are connected to specific sites on the surface of the head. The sensors pick up brain waves and display them on a computer screen. The computer assists the brain in recognising normal brainwave patterns and produces either visual or auditory feedback. When the brain is producing the appropriate balance of waves, it will receive positive feedback. When the brain is not producing the correct balance of waves, it will receive negative feedback. The specific type of feedback you will be receiving is dependent upon the protocol. The protocol is determined by the diagnosis which will be discussed in session.

What is qEEG?

A brain map, also referred to as a qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram), records digital EEG (electroencephalogram) signals which are processed, transformed, and analysed using complex mathematical algorithms. It provides additional insight in conjunction with other diagnostic evaluations in order to obtain a precise diagnosis, and specific treatment response evaluation.

What is an EEG?

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a graphic representation (recording of brain activity) of the difference in voltage between two different cerebral locations plotted over time. a recording of brain activity. Small sensors are attached to the scalp to pick up the electrical signals produced by the brain. The scalp EEG signal generated by cerebral neurons is modified by electrical conductive properties of the tissues between the electrical source and the recording electrode on the scalp, conductive properties of the electrode itself, as well as the orientation of the cortical generator to the recording electrode.

Benefits of Neurofeedback

Effective

The results of our Neurofeedback interventions are effective and permanent. It is an intensive intervention, with 2-3 sessions per week, each session consisting of neurofeedback training and brain-based coaching support.

Safe

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive intervention and apart from a little fatigue after a session, there are no side effects to this treatment.

Sleep

By training the brain with Neurofeedback, overactive brain activity decreases, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Scientific

Neurofeedback has been scientifically proven. We apply protocols which have been rigorously tested in science and our methodologies are supported by these studies.
