What is it?
Neurofeedback is a noninvasive method of training the brain to work more efficiently, which can result in improved concentration and self-regulation. Biofeedback uses computers to amplify signals from the body so that they can be detected more easily by displaying them on a computer screen. Neurofeedback is biofeedback using electrical information from the brain. Those signals are then used to train the brain to increase calm, focused attention, and the ability to self-regulate.

Who does it help?
Neurofeedback has been found to be helpful for a number of disorders. The strongest research evidence is for people with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD or ADD). Not only have some studies found it to be as effective as medication in reducing symptoms of AD/HD, but also that the effects were maintained after treatment ended. Clinical reports suggest that it may help people with a variety of other problems, including mood and anxiety disorders, sleep problems, headaches, autism spectrum disorders, substance abuse, pain, and epilepsy. In addition, many people have used it to enhance their abilities in work, sports, and the arts.

How is it done?
Neurofeedback is done in the office while sitting in a comfortable chair. Three electrodes are placed on the scalp to measure electrical activity in the brain. That information is fed into a computer and the strength of your brain waves runs a game-like display, making it possible to learn to increase the strength of some waves and decrease the strength of others. Training the brain in this manner feels like playing a simple video game. In general, it takes at least 6 sessions to begin to see changes and 20-40 sessions for the effects to last.
