This is accomplished by utilizing sensitive electronic instruments which can detect and measure very small changes in the amplitude and frequency of the electricity generated by the brain. .This electricity is known as the electroencephalagram (EEG). EEG electrodes are temporarily placed on specified areas of the head to measure the electricity. The neurofeedback instruments provide immediate visual and audiotory feedback (information) about the changes that occur in the electricity measured. The varied forms electrical amplitude and frequency is thought to be co related to different behavioral and emotional factors. Based upon this information, change, symptom reduction and an increase in quality of life is possible.
The self-regulatory skills learned by utilizing neurofeedback can help you to influence personal well being. You will learn how to use your awareness to potentially reduce undesirable symptoms. Research literature related to neurofeedback has been increasingly optimistic.
