Neurofeedback, also known as EEG Biofeedback is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive, drug-less method of teaching the brain to function in a more balanced way. Neurofeedback is a simple learning modality that can help shift the way the brain produces and distributes its electrical energy.

Individuals are connected to a computer using wires and sensors, thereby allowing the BrainCore technology to monitor the brainwave activity. The software automatically detects when the brainwaves are properly ordered and feeds that information back to the patient in real time. The feedback appears in the form of a game, movie, or sound, which signals to the patient that the brainwaves are becoming more ordered. The patient’s own brainwaves actually control the game, movie or sound activity, and the observation of this dynamic helps the brain learn how to improve its own regulation.
