All this information will be utilized to support and gauge treatment progress. Patients will also provide feedback on sleep, energy, mood, stress, and pain. This data will be utilized to establish a baseline for cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, reasoning, and verbal. Initial Treatment Sessionĭuring the initial treatment session, each patient will meet with our neurofeedback specialist and participate in a list of outcome measurements. The goal is to operate more with the dominant faster brainwaves essential for focus, organization, follow-through, and basic learning functions. With neurofeedback training, you can learn to improve and strengthen your brainwave patterns. Neurofeedback training/treatment is simply brainwave biofeedback. If you are producing too much of the slow brainwaves (Delta or Theta) or too few of the fast brainwaves (Beta), then your brain will be operating at reduced capacity. The faster brainwaves (Beta) need to be dominant for controlling attention, behavior, emotions, and learning. This causes the neuron networks in your brain to be totally engaged to process the information you’re interacting with. Your brain creates beta waves when you’re alert, and focused. Delta waves are most common when you’re sleeping or daydreaming.īeta Waves are faster brainwaves and are created when you’re more fully awake or aroused. Beta Brainwaves vs Theta and Delta Brainwavesĭelta Waves are slower brainwaves that occur when the brain is under-aroused or functioning at reduced capacity for mental efficiency. The neurofeedback sensors (electrodes) systematically measure and record these brain waves and provide feedback to promote neurological improvement. The data is measured by the total number of waves per second, where the amplitude represents the power of those waves. It is the measurement of the frequency that indicates how fast the brain waves are oscillating. There are different patterns of electrical activity, also described as brain waves, that are all recognized and categorized by their individual amplitudes and frequencies. Measuring Brain Waves and Brain Functions This passive form of neurofeedback does not require manipulation or stimulation (visual, auditory, physical) but allows the patient to participate in neurofeedback treatment completely voluntarily. Our system delivers a low-level electromagnetic signal to modify our patient’s individual brain waves while they are completely motionless. Low-energy neurofeedback, such as what is administered at Phoenix-based Mental Health Center of America. Neurofeedback/Biofeedback measures the individual brain waves followed by the neurofeedback signal.
The goal of Neurofeedback is to decrease “negative” brain patterns and function while increasing “positive” brain patterns and function. This therapy specifically targets the pre-existing alpha, beta, alpha/theta, delta, gamma, and theta brain waves. Neurofeedback utilizes low-level EEG electrode placements to supply frequencies to the brain.
