Neurofeedback Session

Using the latest technology in software and devices, neurofeedback can train the brain in key areas, such as: relaxation, concentration and overcoming phobias. It is recommended to optimise intellectual capacity and to prevent Alzheimer’s.

Neurofeedback is a brain-computer interface training method in which selected parameters of brain activity, normally not perceived by the patients, are made visible. This information is transmitted via monitor and loudspeaker and can be viewed as 3D images.

The main goal of this technique is for patients to better self-regulate their brain activity. Many illnesses, disorders or unwanted behaviour patterns are due to dysregulation of brain activity. Patients can learn to compensate for these dysregulations and to achieve more functionality.
