Neurofeedback is also called EEG biofeedback. Neurofeedback is training your brain to self-regulate. Good self-regulation is necessary for optimal brain function. Self-regulation enhances the function of the central nervous system and thereby improves mental performance, emotional control, and physiological stability.
Neurofeedback is done by placing sensors on the head. The brain waves are measured and recorded. A computer processes the brain waves. This information is then used to help the brain to regulate itself.
Neurofeedback is used to alleviate attentional problems, anxiety, and depression. It is useful to help in the recovery of traumatic brain injury.
It is important for anyone doing Neurofeedback training to let their physicians know because medications may not be needed or may have to be lowered due to better brain functioning.
