What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a means by which to train your brain.  In doing so, your brain learns to naturally function more efficiently.  During Neurofeedback, I observe your brain function in real-time.  Through software, you are rewarded when your brain waves change into more effective patterns. Over time, your brain naturally learns to function more appropriately.  This is of key importance, because ones brain learns to function more effectively over time without the need for any drugs or supplements.  

This has been shown to be effective with ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, restless legs, autism, Asperger's, OCD, head injuries and concussions, headaches/migraines, substance abuse and alcoholism, PTSD, fibromyalgia or chronic pain, IBS, stroke,  and uncontrolled epilepsy.  Inquire about an initial consultation.

Brain Mapping

Quantitative EEG, sometimes referred to as brain mapping, is the measurement through digital technology of electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp which primarily reflect cortical electrical activity or "brainwaves."   A quantitative EEG is an assessment tool to evaluate a person's brainwaves.  The procedure takes about an hour.  It consists of placing a snug cap on the head which contains 19 electrodes to measure the electrical patterns coming from the brain--much like the way that a physician listens to your heart from the surface of your skin.  We gather information on the  brainwave patterns, interactions between different parts of the brain, and the efficiency of communication between different parts of the brain.  Unlike an MRI or a CAT scan, it evaluates how the brain is actually functioning compared to norms for how it should be functioning at your age.
