Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapeutic approach that measures brainwave activity and provides real-time feedback to improve self-regulation of brain function and manage symptoms. Here’s how it works:

Sensors and Feedback:

• During a Neurofeedback session, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record the brain’s electrical activity (EEG).

• The collected information is processed and displayed on a screen, providing visual and auditory feedback.

• Parameters of the EEG signal are reflected through games or videos, engaging the brain in self-correction processes.

Types of Neurofeedback Techniques:

• ILF (Infra-Low Frequency) Training: Focuses on very slow brainwave frequencies.

• Frequency Band Training: Targets specific brainwave frequencies (e.g., alpha, beta, theta) associated with different cognitive and emotional processes.

Clinical Applications:

• ADHD

• Anxiety

• Sleep Disorders

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

• PTSD

• Cognitive Deficits

Core Self-Regulation:

• All Neurofeedback techniques aim to improve core self-regulation, allowing the brain to correct dysfunction.

• When the brain receives feedback about its own activity, it engages in self-correcting processes.

• Over time, this leads to better functioning and symptom reduction.
