Neurofeedback: Advanced Neurotherapy

Research has shown that specific types of electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics are frequently associated with certain behavioral disorders, learning disabilities and mental illness. These EEG characteristics can be used to gain objective, evidence based insight into what is actually happening inside the brain and create measurable, scientific solutions which help re-train the brain to reach its full potential.

Neurofeedback is a proven, non-medication method of improving specific brain processing issues that uses electrogram EEG based neurofeedback that corrects and enhances brain-processing skills. These issues can be anything from ADD/ADHD, auditory processing, and learning disabilities to depression and memory challenges.

The Neurofeedback procedure at Brookside Institute begins by assessing the brain activity, using EEG recorded brainwaves, or brain signals, as it relates to abilities to learn, concentrate, control emotions and much more. These measurements are then summarized into a custom profile. This comprehensive analysis is used as a guide to re-train these specific areas of the brain using exercises that target the specifically identified brain areas that are compromised.

These advanced "brain exercises and activities" have been adapted into various modalities, such as computer-based neurotherapy, biofeedback, cognitive development and acceleration, memory enhancements, relaxation techniques, stress management, and more. During these sessions, brain activity is constantly monitored to study, fine-tune and encourage progress every step of the way.
