Biofeedback Therapy in Niceville, FL by Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback (NFB), also known as Neurotherapy or Neuro Biofeedback, is a type of biofeedback that uses electrical sensors to measure brain activity. The goal of neurofeedback is to retrain the brain to function more effectively by reinforcing desired patterns of brain activity. NFB is an effective treatment for ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and depression for many.

It is non-invasive and does not require the use of medication. However, it can be used in conjunction with medication or other therapies. Neurofeedback is a process done in a series of sessions, during which the client sits in a comfortable chair and is monitored by the sensors. The sensor feedback is then used to help the clients brain learn to self-regulate its patterns and activity. This is an easy and quiet passive process for the client. They simply need to sit and watch and or listen to the auditory and visual feedback provided by the protocol. Over a series of sessions this leads to long-term changes in brain functioning. Neurofeedback is a promising treatment option for many mental health conditions and is as safe as learning to play the piano.

What is EEG Biofeedback?

EEG (Electroencephalography) biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, is a therapy that uses feedback from brainwaves to help the brain to self-regulate its activity. The brain has chemical and electrical systems that impact how the brain functions and how we feel, think, and perform day to day. Most are familiar with how we can intervene with the brains chemical systems via medication. However, many people are not as familiar with the brains electrical system. Training one’s electrical brain wave patterns can be a very effective and safe way to impact many of the symptoms often treated with medications. The best part is that in addition to brain training being a safe alternative to medication in many cases, it also is lasting. Unlike medication, neurotherapy teaches the brain how to change itself! This is the difference between being given a fish and being taught how to fish. The brain gets to keep the gains and the learning long after the training is over, and in many cases, permanently.

EEG biofeedback has effectively treated anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, and insomnia in many people. The therapy process is non-invasive and, as stated above, does not require the use of medications. Instead, it uses sensors placed on the scalp and ears to measure the brains electrical activity. At the start of each session, progress and changes are assessed and the training session follows. The software system continuously provides real time feedback to the patient about their brainwaves. This feedback helps the brain learn to regulate its activity and achieve a more balanced state.
