Neurofeedback therapy works by measuring brain activity and teaching individuals how to regulate their brainwaves. Here are some examples of how this concept is put into action:
- Special sensors are placed on the head to measure brain activity.
- The sensors gather data while individuals engage in activities like playing games or watching videos.
- A trained therapist analyzes the data to provide feedback and guide the individual in regulating their brainwaves.
- Positive reinforcement is used to reinforce desired brainwave patterns.
- With practice and repetition, individuals can learn to self-regulate their brainwaves.
- Neurofeedback therapy can help improve focus, reduce anxiety, manage pain, and treat conditions such as ADHD, depression, and PTSD.
Neurofeedback therapy uses brainwave regulation techniques guided by a therapist to promote mental and physical well-being.
