WHAT IS EEG BIOFEEDBACK?
Electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, which is also called neurofeedback or neurotherapy, is a form of biofeedback
in which an individual receives real-time information about his or her
brainwave activity. The person uses this information to alter his or
her brainwaves to achieve healthier brainwave patterns that are
associated with more optimal mental functioning. |
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED USING EEG BIOFEEDBACK/NEUROTHERAPY?
Neurofeedback training (NFT) is used to treat conditions of the central nervous
system, in which the brain is not functioning at an optimal level.
