Rediscover Your Quality of Life
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback uses an EEG headset to read the brain’s electro-magnetic signals. It can read where those signals are, if they are over or under active, and it can determine how well the brain communicates with itself. In therapy, neurofeedback provides real-time, reward-based feedback on brain activity to train the brain to perform within healthier norms.
We use a 21 Electrode qEEG system for testing and therapy. This means we are able to retrain the entire network of the brain. This uniquely allows us to train parts of the brain that smaller neurofeedback units, or other forms of therapy, are unable to detect. All testing results are compared to a normative database to most accurately determine any problems your brain is having. All test results are compared to a normative database based on your age and sex to identify issues with your brain function that are causing your symptoms. If you want to optimize your brain and get to the root of your symptoms, 21-channel qEEG neurofeedback offers the best innovation to restore your quality of life.
The electro-magnetic signals your brain produces to help you through your day can be broken down into 5 distinct frequencies, Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. If any combination of these frequencies is over or under active, they can cause a large variety of neurological and mental conditions.
Delta (0.5-4hz)
Delta is responsible for deep sleep. If there is too much Delta when you are awake, it will likely cause symptoms such as fatigue, depression, poor memory, and brain fog. Too much or little Delta will also cause sleep problems such as insomnia.
Theta (4-7hz)
Theta is responsible for REM sleep and deep meditation. An imbalance of Theta is linked to symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, anxiety, hyperactivity, or fatigue.
Alpha (7.5-12.5hz)
Alpha is responsible for wakeful and relaxed states. It is arguably the most used and most important frequency the brain has. Too little Alpha is commonly linked with overthinking, hyperactivity, anxiety, chronic pain, fatigue, and tinnitus.
Beta (12.5-30hz)
Beta is responsible for focus. In the high range of Beta, there is also HiBeta, which is responsible for stressful situations. Beta is most useful for activities such as studying or work, but too much of it is linked to hyperactivity, inattention, anxiety, pain, and stress.
Gamma (25 - 100hz)
Gamma is responsible for stress and fight-or-flight situations. It is good for confrontations and reacting to dangerous situations but too much during periods of calm can clearly be linked to anxiety, pain, and difficulty relaxing.
FAQ
Got a Question?
No. Neurofeedback provides rewards for already existing brain behaviours, therefore it cannot change anything about who a person is.
Once we have gone over your history, you will only have to sit for 20 minutes with the EEG cap on and that will collect all the data we need.
Yes! There are no side-effects, or long-term risks to neurofeedback. You will likely feel fatigued after therapy from your brain working hard, but it should pass by the end of the day.
Yes. Once your brain has learned what it needs to do, it will retain that pattern even after treatments have ended. However, depending how long the brain has held the unhealthy pattern, it may take time to learn a different one.
That depends! Neurofeedback has been shown to help a wide variety of conditions. To find out if it’s right for you, and before you commit your hard earned time and money, we always recommend starting with an initial assessment. That way we can determine whether neurofeedback is going to be a good fit for your needs.
We use standardized testing with our re-exams to see how your brain has responded to therapy. If progress feels slow, our retests will give a scientific measure of if your brain is truly making the progress you need. You are never stuck on a treatment path, and you can quit at any time, but we keep on top of your care so you can get what you need, when you need it.
We use a 21 Electrode qEEG system for testing and therapy. This means we are able to retune the entire network of the brain. This uniquely allows us to train underlying issues that smaller neurofeedback units, or other forms of therapy, are unable to detect.
