Neurofeedback is known with different names like biofeedback, EEG or neurobiofeedback and Neurotherapy. All this are similar in action but just have different names. This is a therapy technique that presents the user with real time feedback on brainwave activity. This therapy teaches us to concentrate, maintain attention and creativity, raises immunity to stress.
Moreover it also helps you to develop physiological skill. This therapy aims to provide real time information to our central nervous system to do current activities. This training process uses technology to gain more control and information over what your body is doing. This feedback helps you learn to use your mind to develop greater control over your body. In the training process conscious understanding and meditation of the information traveling to the Main nervous system.
Neurofeedback is a training program of the human brain just to enhance the functioning of brain more effectively. Our brain learns to function more and faster than earlier. The entire activity of the brain is measured from moment to moment and this action is shown to the person on whom activity is observed. This is gradual training process of brain and applies to any aspect of brain.
The aim of this training method is to promote healthier function of brain. Many researches have been carried in Neurofeedback for children that use medication and behavior therapy as treatment method. Medication simple induces short term brain activity which results in reduction in symptoms. This treatment is also helpful for children who have problems like bed wetting, nightmares, sleep walking, sleep talking, teeth grinding, and night terrors.
EEG or biofeedback is based on electrical brain activity which is electroencephalogram. Neurofeedback or EEG is training in self regulation. It is simply applied to the brain and it is known that self regulation is important part of good brain function. The advantageous part of self regulation is that it allows the central nervous system function better. In adolescence, this treatment is effective for suicidal behavior, drug abuse, anxiety and depression.
This is also more effective when people get older to maintain good brain function. Any brain regardless of age and current level of function, it can be trained to function much better. Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain disregulation. This happens to many individuals when they pass through anxiety, depression, attention deficits, behavior disorder, headaches, migraines, emotional disturbances. It is relevant for organic brain conditions such as seizures, autism, and cerebral palsy.
The basic conditions that Neurofeedback is helpful is the maintaining the condition like seizures and sub-clinical seizure activity, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, birth trauma, pervasive development delay, conduct disorder, bipolar disorder. The technology in this treatment is complex but using it is very simple. Especially children enjoy their experience of directing their own brain wave activity. They learn to change the way their brain learns to function in a new way. Neurofeedback treatment is provided by mental health professionals like counselors, family therapist, psychologists. This treatment has always shown proven and effective result in better functioning of central nervous system.
