EEG NEUROFEEDBACK

This is a cutting edge treatment that expands the traditional realms of psychological intervention. Psychology basically deals with the mind and emotions and how they work and can be influenced. EEG Biofeedback (NEUROFEEDBACK) deals with the brain and how it functions. The brain is an electro-chemical mechanism. While physicians use chemicals to alter the way it functions, Neurofeedback teaches the brain how to function differently through the electrical system by giving feedback so it can change the way the brainwaves work. Nothing is done to the person; no electrical current enters the brain. It is only through visual and auditory feedback that the brain is able to improve how it functions. Since the brain is the center of the Central Nervous System as it improves there are significant implications for how the whole of our mind, body and emotions can be effected.

It is amazing the ramifications and applications available through this technology and it can be done with no harmful side effects. ADHD, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, Migraine headaches, seizures, PMS symptoms, Chronic Fatigue Disorder, Fibromyalgia, Anger, Alcoholism, and Minor Brain Injury from stroke or head trauma are all disorders that have been effectively treated with this approach.

Research

Our Cognitive Tutoring  work is based on recent research in cognitive science: the study of thinking and performing processes. This research shows that successful acquisition of all higher skills related to academic, interpersonal, or physical performance requires specific base cognitive skills. When these basic cognitive skills are inefficient, dysfunction ranging from minor frustration to major disability may occur. For example, schools traditionally teach procedural skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics assuming students are already efficient at underlying functional skills such as shape recognition and analysis. This is not always accurate. Many students have unrecognized functional skill problems which lead them to experience great difficulty learning and to develop lifelong disabilities in particular areas. When these problems are present, the frustration that accompanies the struggle to learn often leads the student to develop a poor self-image and a defeated attitude that spreads to other areas of his life. And these cognitive deficiencies apply to excellent students as well as poor students. Excellent students may waste effort compensating for weak skills rather than using the most effective mental pathways. Couples may endure unnecessary relationship difficulties. Athletes may experience inferior performance in relation to their natural talent. In business, many face needless frustration from disappointing performance. The difference between exceptional and average performance lies in one's functional skill development.

Methodology

Our assessment techniques allow us to identify clients' inefficient functional skills. We develop individual learning plans to help overcome problems such as poor memory, difficulty in completing projects, and lack of attention to detail which may interfere with learning and performance in many areas of life. We also help successful adults maximize already excellent abilities so they experience "peak" performances. We make learning, working, relating, and sports easier while building self-confidence and self esteem.
