The brain is a self-regulating organ using biochemistry and electrical activity.
The brain is an organ dedicated to information processing. We receive new input daily from our external world as well as our thoughts, perceptions, and the emotions we experience. The brain is altered through experience. When we encounter acute or repetitive stress it can lead to dysregulation or being stuck with a brain not operating efficiently.
Neurofeedback improves the way you feel and function in the world by improving how your brain operates. Each session is an exercise, workout, or performance review opportunity for your brain to observe itself while it strives to increase flexibility and stability.
Energy and attention balancing, or resourcing plays a large role in the brain being most efficient. Once a brain improves regulation from a course of Neurofeedback sessions, it remembers how to get back to that regulated state and returns more easily to regulation following stressful events. Think of it not just as a brain workout, but also a tool that helps the brain build stronger resilience.
Increased Flexibility & Stability within key brain networks is our goal.The EEG sensors are used to target key brain networks; the attention network and the default mode network. The signals from the EEG readings are sent through an amplifier into a computer whose software renders (in real time) your brainwaves which your cortex “watches” through your open eyes and/or your ears. The brainwave activity is represented visually by evolving fractals and aurally by musical sounds. The fractals morph at over 20 to 40 images per second. Over the sessions, your brain is using this information and learning to shift from a more under-aroused or over-aroused state into a more neutral state of relaxed light focus.
Together with you, we create measurable goal areas of focus to track your progress over the course of the sessions. Based on these goals and the progress you experience over the sessions we will adjust the protocols to focus more on the networks of interest for improved flexibility and stability.
