What is EEG Neurofeedback?

EEG Neurofeedback is a brain activity measurement used as a diagnostic tool, usually to control the brain function. The process includes the use of data obtained from real -time results given by the electroencephalographic machine. The EEG neurofeedback results - often referred to as biofeedback - show how the brain reacts to stimuli at the moment, which in turn shows how patterns and habits evolve. Neurofeedback therapy is used to treat anxiety, attention disorders, behavior problems, depression, headaches and sleep problems. In addition, it was used to measure epileptic activity in the brain and solve the causes of seizures. When unhealthy brain patterns are picked up, neutral or otherwise different feedback is given. This simple process of the positive subconscious weiring the principle of EEG Neurofeedback. In some cases, the therapist may refer a patient to a doctor who specializes in the problem that the patient has. If the therapist believes that EEG would be a beneficial way to treat the problemThe patient is performed by a complete test of brain activity measurement.

The

base data for the EEG neurofeedback is collected by placing electrodes in approximately 20 different areas of the scalp. These electrodes outline the "brain map" of each area and record the activity of each national environment. Maps are then included in the database in which the therapist can determine whether the activity levels are normal for sex and age of the patient. This process illuminates any area of ​​the aid and helps the therapist better identify centers of activities to be monitored.

Another set of electrodes is then attached to the scalp and EEG Neurofeedback begins. The procedure is painless and lasts approximately 10-30 minutes. After EEG has seen brain activity, the therapist represents the patient's finding to see the brain react from moment to the moment.

depending on the problems to be solved can be ter terApie EEG Neurofeedback take up to 40 sessions. During these sessions, the patient usually deals with personalized video games interaction that subconsciously controls and regulates how the brain works. Based on the information obtained from the initial EEG, the therapist can determine which brain areas are central to the problems the patient has and to propose subsequent interactions based on these results.
