This advanced brain training technology, developed in part by, NASA-level engineers works by triggering what’s called the orienting response, which is the brain’s ability to sense the change in the environment and take in new information about what is different. Neurofeedback uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach the brain to self-regulate. The brain then uses that data to adjust itself, in the same way, that you might be inspired to fix an-out-of place lock of hair while looking in the mirror. As the brain changes, the feedback changes. Think of neurofeedback as a kind of learning for the brain. The promise of neurofeedback is to shift our brain waves back to health without the use of drugs. Clients suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, anger, depression, etc., can simply sit in Mind Gym's comfortable chair for half-hour sessions and get a "mind fit" tune-up.
It makes sense that neurofeedback is safe when we remember that the process is simply one of learning or training. When you are doing neurofeedback, the therapist is seeing your brain activity and getting hints when it is headed in the direction of improved functioning.
