Sounds Promising, but Can It Help Me?
Yes, Neurofeedback Can Help.
Neurofeedback can help a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, depression, concussions, stroke, and even traumatic brain injury (TBI). It can provide the mental clarity and focus needed to reach peak performance in whatever you do. If you’ve tried everything else, it’s time to see results with Neurofeedback.
What is Neurofeedback?
A Safe, Non-invasive Method of Training Your Brain to Function More Efficiently.
Your brain is made up of electrical and chemical systems. These electrical systems can be trained with EEG Biofeedback to change the brain’s chemistry without risky side effects. This is Neurofeedback, a safe, non-invasive method of training your brain to function more efficiently. Using real-time monitoring, we help you improve brainwave patterns and achieve lasting results. The advantages of Neurofeedback include:
- Neuroplasticity – The brain teaches itself to change
- All natural – Non-invasive
- No harmful side effects
- Long-lasting results
- Painless and used safely with both children and adults — no electrical stimulation, no medication, nothing goes into the brain.
Is It Called EEG Biofeedback or Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback refers to any type of brain Biofeedback and EEG (electroencephalography) Biofeedback refers just to brainwave Biofeedback. Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback uses EEG Biofeedback, which is the recording of brainwave activity. The feedback is used to train your brain based on your individual evaluation.
How Our Process Works
- Initial Evaluation — A 2-hour evaluation builds a protocol tailored to your goals and symptoms.
- Feedback Sessions — Sensors placed on your scalp read your brain's electrical activity. Nothing goes into your brain. 45–60 minutes per session.
- Session Frequency — Typically 2x per week. Plans flex around your schedule.
- Re-evaluation — When growth plateaus, we adjust your protocol and target new areas.
