What is neurofeedback training?
• This is way for a people, including children, to learn about what is happening inside their own brains as their state of mind or awareness changes. This process is also known as EEG (electroencephalographic) biofeedback or brainwave training. • It is done in a quiet room with the person seated in a comfortable chair near a typical looking PC. The trainer takes a couple of minutes to attach a few small sensors to the head with a waxy sort of paste that helps to both hold them in place and to assist the sensors pick up the electronic signals which the brain is constantly producing. (It is pretty much like putting on EKG sensors for a cardiogram.) Sometimes a cap or Velcro straps are also used to help hold things in place. • The thin wires from the sensors are then plugged into the interface box for the computer system and the connections are checked to be sure everything is being recorded correctly. There is nothing that comes FROM the computer to the sensors. It is strictly a one-way
This is a way for people, including children, to learn about what is happening inside their own brains as their state of mind or awareness changes. This process is also known as EEG (electroencephalographic) biofeedback, or, brainwave training. It provides a tool for the person to learn how re-regulate fuzzy distracted thinking and to be able to get on-task with sustained concentration and attention.
