Treatment Options
EEG NEUROFEEDBACK (Brain-Training)
For Weight Loss, Weight Management, Compulsive Overeating and Binge Eating, Attention Disorders (ADHD, ADD), Test Performance, Headaches, Memory, Depression and Anxiety
A cutting-edge treatment that boosts the brain’s ability to keep you at a healthy weight. Bottom line: you lose weight and stay there.
What exactly is EEG Neurofeedback (NF)
EEG Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, pain free technique that is used to improve mental, emotional and cognitive functioning. With this technique, the brain’s electrical activity is recorded through sensors anchored (painlessly) to the scalp, and “fed back” to the person using a monitor and special computer video like animation.
The brain and the computer software then interact directly with each other for a brain workout that allows the brain to rewire itself and function more optimally. Treatments consist of 30-45 minute long computer-brain interactions during which the brain is given feedback about its performance. The computer gives the brain information when it gets “stuck” or performs below or above an optimal level. After a few sessions, the brain learns to adopt more advantageous patters. Typically that’s followed with improvements in eating, sleep, emotion, attention and clarity of thinking.
How does Neurofeedback/Brain-Training work
A computer program monitors the brain’s activity patterns. When the patterns are not optimal, the program sends a signal to the brain in the form of a musical sound. In a short time, the brain learns to change its old sub-optimal patterns to more optimal patterns. Symptoms lessen as the brain reorganizes itself and runs smoother and more efficient.
How long does it take
Treatment length varies depending on the condition, age and your unique response. Our experience at Brain Fitness shows sleep, mood, TMJ and headache symptoms to have the fastest response. 12 to 20 sessions are typical for compulsive overeating and weight loss.
