Neurofeedback 101: What Medical Professionals Need to Know

OVERVIEW: Neurotherapy teaches patients to alter their brainwaves in such a way that permanent changes to behavior and attention can occur. Using painless sensors attached to the head, Neurofeedback measures existing brainwaves and creates a statistical map of what needs to change. Neurofeedback therapy can then create long lasting changes to the connections in the brain reducing or eliminating the impulsive actions associated with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more.
