Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback
Neurotherapy, also called neurofeedback (NFB), EEG biofeedback, or brainwave training, is a type of alternative therapy, specifically a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of electroencephalography (EEG) to illustrate brain activity. A practitioner can use sensors to record brain activity and understand why a patient may have clinical symptoms.
A client might be experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention disorder (ADD), or other stressful conditions due to neurophysiological over-arousal.
After gathering the initial data, neurofeedback monitors brain activity and provides visual and auditory feedback. This helps clients improve their brain wave patterns and promote self-regulation.
