Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback also known as EEG (brainwave) biofeedback, is a form of therapy for enhancing brain functioning and promoting self-regulation. It is a form of biofeedback that provides feedback from the electrical activity of the brain. A computer is used to record and give immediate feedback (in the form of visual and/or auditory cues) about brainwave activity, which is then used to help the client become aware of specific brainwave states and to produce brainwaves that are better balanced and thus encourage better concentration and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback is commonly used in the treatment of ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, epilepsy, and learning disabilities. It is often combined with other therapeutic and/or educational modalities, including psychotherapy and instruction in cognitive learning strategies.
