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...

Episodic Explosive Disorder

This is an uncommon diagnosis, but important from the perspective of Neurofeedback / EEG Biofeedback. This behavior is characterized by distinct episodes of aggressive behavior that may leave the person remorseful, embarrassed, or regretful afterwards. The behavior is inconsistent with the character of the person, and it does not fit with other disorders involving aggressive behavior.

On the other hand, it has all the earmarks of a seizure-like disorder. The person may even be aware of pre-cursor phenomena such as a feeling of tension or heightened arousal. Since Neurofeedback was originally researched in connection with seizure control, it might be helpful as well for this condition. And indeed this is what we have found.
