Neurofeedback is a type of therapeutic technique that aims to help individuals regulate and control their brain activity by providing them with real-time feedback about their brainwaves.

Brainwaves are the electrical patterns produced by the brain as it communicates and processes information. Neurofeedback involves monitoring these brainwave patterns using sensors placed on the scalp and then presenting the individual with visual, auditory, or other types of feedback based on those brainwave patterns.

Neurofeedback is a versatile tool that holds promise in supporting a wide range of conditions. Its non-invasive nature, combined with the potential for significant benefits, makes it an attractive option for many.

During a neurofeedback session, a person is typically asked to engage in an activity or focus on a task while their brainwave patterns are monitored.

The feedback they receive can be in the form of visual displays, sounds, or other cues that change in response to their brain activity. For instance, if a person is learning to increase certain types of brainwave activity associated with relaxation, they might be rewarded with a calming image or sound whenever their brain produces the desired patterns.

Over time, the brain may learn to associate the desired brainwave patterns with the positive feedback, which could lead to improved self-regulation and symptom reduction.
