NEUROFEEDBACK

Neurofeedback, also called EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive therapy that uses sensors to measure brainwave activity and provide real-time feedback to the brain. Through visual, auditory, or interactive feedback, the brain is given an opportunity to recognize and practice different patterns of activity.

At Delta Neuro Health, we use neurofeedback as part of an individualized approach to neurological care. Brainwave patterns can be associated with areas such as focus, relaxation, sleep, attention, and overall brain regulation. Understanding these patterns can help guide how we approach neurofeedback training.

Our goal is to help the brain learn to better regulate its activity and support improvements in specific cognitive or emotional functions. Neurofeedback may be considered for individuals experiencing neurological challenges, brain injuries, developmental delays, behavioral concerns, or difficulties with focus, sleep, and regulation.

We begin with a Free Phone Consultation to learn about your symptoms, history, goals, and whether our care may be appropriate for you.

When appropriate, we then perform our 3-hour Comprehensive Neurologic Exam to better understand how your brain and nervous system are functioning. We then follow this with a qEEG (quantitative EEG), and perform a Brain Intake Map for Neurofeedback, which uses computer analysis to evaluate electrical brain activity and identify patterns across brainwave frequencies including delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma.

These patterns can provide information related to areas such as sleep, relaxation, focus, and brain regulation.
From there, we create an individualized treatment plan. Neurofeedback training provides real-time feedback while you participate in specific activities, allowing the brain to practice adjusting its activity.

Training may use visual or auditory feedback, games, or other interactive activities.

We monitor your response throughout care and adjust the training as appropriate.

The brain is constantly regulating its activity. Different brainwave frequencies are associated with different states of brain function, and the balance and activity of these patterns can provide useful information about how the brain is functioning.

With neurofeedback, we use real-time information about brainwave activity to create a feedback loop. As the brain produces a desired pattern, it receives positive feedback. With repetition, the brain has an opportunity to practice and learn more effective patterns of regulation.

For example, training may focus on increasing or decreasing specific brainwave frequencies depending on the individual's goals and findings.
At Delta Neuro Health, neurofeedback is not approached as a one-size-fits-all program. We first work to understand the individual and determine whether neurofeedback is an appropriate tool for their care.

Depending on the individual, neurofeedback may be incorporated into care for concerns involving focus and attention, sleep, stress regulation, cognitive function, developmental delays, behavioral concerns, neurological conditions, or recovery following brain injury.

Neurofeedback can also be combined with other components of an individualized neurological rehabilitation plan when appropriate.

Our goal is to help the brain practice self-regulation and develop healthier patterns of activity while addressing the individual needs of each patient.

Frequently asked questions

What is neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive therapy that measures brainwave activity and provides real-time feedback. This allows the brain to practice adjusting and regulating its activity.

What is a qEEG?

A quantitative EEG, or qEEG, uses computer analysis to evaluate electrical brain activity and map different brainwave patterns. At Delta Neuro Health, qEEG information and a Brain Intake Map, may help guide individualized neurofeedback training.

What are brainwaves?

Brainwaves are patterns of electrical activity produced by the brain. Commonly measured frequencies include delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma. Different patterns are associated with different states and functions, including sleep, relaxation, attention, and cognitive activity.

How does neurofeedback work?

Sensors measure brainwave activity while you participate in a specific activity. When the brain produces a desired pattern, it receives feedback through visual, auditory, or interactive cues. This creates a feedback loop that allows the brain to practice regulating its activity.

What can neurofeedback help with?

Neurofeedback may be incorporated into care for concerns involving focus, attention, sleep, stress regulation, cognitive function, developmental delays, behavioral concerns, neurological conditions, and brain injuries. Whether it is appropriate depends on the individual.

Is neurofeedback safe?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive approach. However, the appropriate type and intensity of training can vary from person to person. We evaluate each patient individually and monitor their response throughout care.

How long does neurofeedback take?

Neurofeedback is a training process, so it typically involves repeated sessions rather than a single treatment. The number and frequency of sessions depend on the individual’s goals, findings, and response to training. Sessions typically run for a half hour at a time.

Can children receive neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback may be considered for some children, including those experiencing developmental, behavioral, attention, or neurological concerns. Care is individualized based on the child’s age, abilities, history, and goals.

Can neurofeedback be used after a brain injury?

Neurofeedback may be incorporated into care for some individuals following a concussion or other brain injury. We first evaluate the broader neurological picture to determine whether it is an appropriate part of an individualized rehabilitation plan.

Is neurofeedback the same as functional neurology?

They are different approaches, but they can work together. Functional neurology focuses on evaluating neurological function and creating individualized rehabilitation strategies. Neurofeedback can be one tool incorporated into that broader plan when appropriate.

What makes Delta Neuro Health's neurofeedback approach different?

We don’t begin with a predetermined protocol for everyone. We first learn about your history, goals, and neurological function and use appropriate testing to help determine whether neurofeedback is a good fit. From there, training is incorporated into an individualized treatment plan.
