Neurofeedback Takes Practice
Neurofeedback is akin to learning to ride a bicycle. You can't master it in a classroom; you have to practice. Similarly, during a Neurofeedback session, your brain receives EEG Biofeedback, helping it self-regulate brain states related to how we think, feel and perform in life. Just as you always remember how to ride a bike, the improvements you make are lasting.
Imagine working out just 20-30 times and keeping the gains forever. With Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback, that's possible. Neurofeedback is a workout for your brain that can help you feel better, improve focus, and enhance performance with lasting results.
Your brain is composed of electrical and chemical systems. While medication alters the brain's chemistry, EEG Biofeedback trains the brain's electrical system, resulting in functional improvements without risky side effects.
Your Brainwaves Affect How You Feel, Think, and Perform
Optimizing Brainwaves for Better Function
Brainwaves, made up of millions of neurons firing at once, convey information through their frequency and amplitude. They are measured in Hertz and correspond to different functions, such as emotions, physical movement, and concentration. Symptoms of sub-optimal functioning arise when specific frequencies do not fire optimally.
For example, beta frequencies are not ideal for sleep, causing insomnia, while delta frequencies during the day can lead to fatigue. The brain's remarkable capacity for change ("neuroplasticity") allows it to form new connections and improve its function through Neurofeedback.
The Brain Regulates All Important Aspects of Your Life
Neurofeedback, including EEG Biofeedback, assists the brain in improving its function, reorganizing, and healing itself. A dysregulated brain can lead to numerous health problems due to an over-aroused, under-aroused, or unstable state. Neurofeedback trains the brain to regulate itself, leading to better feeling, thinking, and performance.
