Therapeutic Applications of Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a powerful technique that can train the brain toward better function. Improved functioning means relief for many - i.e. migraine sufferers have no more headaches, insomniacs fall asleep easily, autistic children relate to others. What we've discovered is that disregulation of brain function is a core issue in many disorders.

The following are thumbnail summaries of our own clinical experience, and that of other Neurofeedback therapists, with various conditions. In session, we invite the brain into conversation with itself through our external feedback loops. Then, the brain self-corrects. By doing this, the brain learns and changes. Then, so does our experience of being in the world. Read more...

Articulation Deficits

Speech articulation may respond quite readily to a specific Neurofeedback protocol that targets Broca's area. If that does not promptly yield benefit, then a number of related protocols suggest themselves for trial. EEG properties under challenge may also be used to guide protocol. If the problems are developmental, some significant functional improvement may be expected. In the case of stroke or traumatic brain injury, the gains are less predictable. Nevertheless, the training should be attempted. New opportunities for functional reorganization arise over a period of years subsequent to a stroke, so the training should be investigated periodically for new learning opportunities.
