HOW DOES IT WORK?

The way it works is that special sensors (electrodes) are placed on the scalp and ear lobes to measure the brain wave electrical activity. Minute fluctuations in the electromagnetic field produced by the brain are recorded at the scalp and analyzed by a computer to provide detailed information about the functioning of the central nervous system. The brain's neural signals can be presented instantly as feedback that the brain responds to, in the form of animated images and sounds (music/tones) that encourage the production of healthy brain waves and decrease production of unhealthy ones. Having learned to modify your brainwaves directly, you can modify a wide variety of corresponding mental, emotional and physical states. A computer is placed a few feet directly in front of the client. It looks like you are playing a video game using brainwaves while stabilizing/normalizing the brain and increasing flexibility. Furthermore, EEG Biofeedback enables you to monitor, change and eventually control your brain waves. In other words, it allows you to learn voluntary control of your brain wave activity. Similar to workout/exercise, you can build healthier and stronger brain waves. The monitor displays specific patterns that the client attempts to change by producing the appropriate type of brain wave. The monitor rewards the client for producing the appropriate brain wave by providing positive reinforcement in the form of sounds and images. Clients are trained through operant conditioning process to augment (increase) certain brain wave patters associated with healthy mind/body functioning and inhibit (decrease) those brain wave patterns that are associated with various conditions/dysfunctions/disorders. In other words, the goal is to produce healthy brain wave patterns and reduce the unhealthy ones. Once the skill is acquired, it becomes self-sustaining.
