The Treatment Process
Through neurofeedback, your brain “learns” to self-regulate the strength and frequency of the electrical activity that controls all aspects of attention, thought, mood, arousal, and behaviour. The treatment occurs via computer software which measures brainwaves through sensors that are harmlessly attached to your scalp. When brainwave activity changes in the desired direction, a positive “feedback”, or reward, is given to your brain.
Your brain automatically “learns” to modify the brainwaves being monitored into a more efficient form with a corresponding reduction in symptoms. This is operant conditioning for the brain. Over time, positive changes in brain functioning become permanent. Treatment is designed individually and takes between 20 and 60 sessions for optimum results. Sessions are usually held two or three times per week so that the effects carry over from session to session. Each session lasts about 45 minutes. The changes are usually permanent although brief booster sessions may be needed in the future.
