What EEG frequencies are typically trained?
Beta frequencies (12-20 Hz) tend to be related to brain activation. Training these frequencies can assist in speech, organization, planning, elevating mood and reducing depression, in improved cognitive function and task performance, particularly when training over the frontal lobe. Training along the sensory motor strip can assist in calming the brain, and can help with anger, stress related problems, decreasing over-arousal, improving inhibitorycontrol, and impacting sleep regulation.This example shows several EEG frequencies which are used by the therapist to set goals for each client. Originally, most training was done along the sensory motor strip. Neuroscience and brain imaging research has pointed to many other problem areas. As a result, Neurofeedback often includes training at the frontal and pre-frontal lobe, the anterior cingulate, and the temporal lobes. For example, research indicated that excessive EEG slowing at the cingulate can be relatedto ADD, depression, and OCD.Alp
