Struggling
with these problems often prevents us from achieving our personal, academic,
and professional goals. Biofeedback and/or Neurofeedback combined with
behavioral interventions have assisted many in controlling or overcoming
these challenges.
Biofeedback
and EEG neurofeedback encourage greater awareness and regulation of bodily
functions, cognitive processes, and emotional states.

| Biofeedback
as
a field has been growing since the late 1960s. This form of training and
treatment uses monitoring instruments attached to the body to "feed back"
to people information on the functioning of their bodies. In this way,
people view information of which they are not normally aware, such as hand
temperature, heart rate, number and depth of breaths being taken, level
of muscle tension in any target muscle, or the electrical activity of their
brains. It has been established that, once people have more detailed access
to information on what their bodies are doing, they are able to either
consciously or subconsciously alter or control those functions. In
this way, people with tension headaches can learn to relax tense muscles,
people with urinary incontinence can learn to control their bladders, people
with Raynaud’s disease (circulation difficulties in the extremities) can
learn to warm themselves by increasing blood flow. Of particular interest
to mental health providers is the electrical functioning of the brain. |
Neurofeedback
(or EEG biofeedback) is the form of biofeedback that assists people
in altering the electrical activity of their brains. The reason neurofeedback
is of special concern is that the brain is a central contributor to the
emotions, physical symptoms, thoughts, and behaviors for which people often
seek consultation and help. The effectiveness of neurofeedback is thought
to come from training the brain to enter a variety of mental states and
thus break out of persistent cognitive and emotional patterns. EEG
biofeedback in a sense is a form of exercise for the brain. Neurofeedback
training is often assisted by a brain mapping procedure called Quantitative
EEG. Neurofeedback
