How Does it Work?

It works by promoting self-regulation in the central nervous system (CNS) to enhance physical and emotional calmness, organization, attention, creativity, and motivation. Thus, one can attain higher achievement in school, work, sport s, artistic endeavors, and musical performance. We apply electrodes to the scalp to “listen” to brainwave activity, during which a specifically designed computer system extracts information about key brainwave frequencies. Some frequencies we wish to promote while others we wish to diminish.

plays or watches, the brainwave activity becomes "shaped" toward more desirable,
more regulated performance. The targeted frequencies and specific locations on the scalp correlate to the conditions addressed.

Neurofeedback can be analogous to a ballet dancer practicing in front of a mirror – the more she practices by watching the reflection of her movements, t he better she can perform.
