Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback, is a self regulation training tool that enables a person to alter their brain waves (EEG). When information about a person’s own brain wave patterns are made available to them, they can learn to change them. You can think of it as operant conditioning of the brainwaves and as "yoga for the brain". Neurofeedback is also a non-invasive type of therapy that helps your brain create more optimal neural pathways for improved functioning over-time. I currently provide Neurofeedback Therapy in Montclair, NJ.

FAQs for Neurofeedback

How much does Neurofeedback Cost in NJ?

The first session is utilized for an assessment, called a "Midline Mini-Map". This is typically a starting baseline recording which is one component of the assessment process used in deciding how to begin Neurofeedback training. Client history, along with current daily life functioning information, is used in the initial assessment.
Can Neurofeedback Replace ADHD Medication?
Neurofeedback serves as a great adjunct treatment for ADHD. Neurofeedback isn't a replacement for medication. Some people have reduced their ADHD medication over time after Neurofeedback training but it is not a guarantee.
Can Neurofeedback Improve Sleep?
Yes, Neurofeedback can improve your sleep. Neurofeedback can help reduce anxiety, hyper-vigilance, regulation, by stabilizing your brain's arousal over-time.
Is Neurofeedback legitimate, or is it a scam?
Yes, Neurofeedback is legitimate. Neurofeedback has as many research studies as many of the Psychotropic medications approved by the FDA for usage. Because the brain is so complex, we continue to learn the more we know about the brain, the more we realize we don't know - each experience is different for each trainee.
