Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback treatment that helps the individual learn to use different parts of the brain and different types of brainwaves to optimize functioning. Brain Avatar training using electroencephalogram (EEG) technology to measure brainwaves and provide EEG neurofeedback.
Brainwaves are a form of natural electrical signals within the brain, similar to the electrical signals that control the heart. Our brain has multiple types of brainwaves – slower brainwaves (e.g. theta waves) are associated with sleep and relaxation whereas faster brainwaves (e.g. alpha waves) are associated with functions related to focus, motivation, and concentration. Neurofeedback targets dysregulation and helps improve optimal brainwave functioning.
Brain Avatar training uses small sensors placed on the head. A computer program then analyzes brainwaves from different parts of the brain and provides auditory or visual feedback to the client. Over time, the individual increases their ability to use the desired brainwaves through a computerized operant learning protocol. Just as physical exercise can help strengthen our bodies, neurofeedback helps develop, strengthen, and train your brain. Brain Avatar Neurofeedback is like a workout for your mind!
