What is Neurofeedback?

"Treatment with Neurofeedback is brainwave biofeedback.  Electrodes are placed on a person's scalp and one or two are usually placed on the ear lobe.  Then, electronic equipment provides real-time audio and visual feedback about your brainwave activity.  The electrodes measure the electrical patterns coming from the brain, much like a physician listens to your heart from the surface of your skin.  No electrical current is put into the brain.  Your brainwave patterns are relayed to the computer and recorded.

Ordinarily, we cannot influence our brainwave patterns because we lack awareness of them.  However, when you can see your brainwaves on a computer screen a few thousandths of a second after they occur, it gives you the ability to influence and change them.  The mechanism of action is operant conditioning.  We are literally reconditioning and retraining the brain.  At first, the changes are short-lived, but the changes gradually become more enduring.  With continuing feedback, coaching, and practice, we can usually retrain healthier brainwave patterns in most people.  It is a little like exercising or doing physical therapy with the brain, enhancing cognitive flexibility and control.  Thus whether the problem stems from ADD/ADHD, a learning disability, a stroke, head injury, deficits following neurosurgery, uncontrolled epilepsy, cognitive dysfunction associated with aging, depression anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or other brain-related conditions, neurofeedback training offers additional opportunities for rehabilitation through directly retraining the brain.  The exciting thing is that even when a problem is biological in nature, we now have another treatment alternative than just medication.  Neurofeedback is also being used increasingly to facilitate peak performance in individuals and athletes without a diagnosis or symptoms of a cognitive deficit."
