Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback. It is a non-invasive type of brain training centred around the concept of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to create and strengthen neural pathways to achieve optimal brain functioning.

EEG Neurofeedback measures and feeds back information about the electrical activity in various locations of your brain whilst you are watching media or playing a game. While you are watching or interacting with the media, auditory and visual feedback is provided to indicate when the brain is successful in adapting to the changes required. The picture on the screen may appear snowy or dark and the sound may vary. It will look and sound normal when your brain is at the desired frequencies and will be loud and dark when not working at the desired frequencies. This information is carried from your brain to the computer via electrodes that are connected to your scalp and earlobe/s. Frequencies are either rewarded or inhibited in order to encourage optimal brain states i.e. calm, grounded state. Neurofeedback aims to create longer lasting changes to the brain so that over time, you can access these optimal states outside of the training session as well.

The protocols used to train the brain are guided by QEEG assessment. QEEG is sometimes referred to as brain mapping, and it measures the electrical activity at 19 different sites of the brain and can identify irregular brain function.
