HEMOENCEPHALOGRAPHIC (HEG) NEUROFEEDBACK IS
NOW AVAILABLE AT BIOFEEDBACK & ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CENTERS

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

HEG NF is straightforward for the trainee: maintain the relaxed but focused state of active concentration that keeps the blood flow level above threshold and the movie keeps PLAYING, complete with stereo surround sound. Lose your active focus by relaxing too much, trying too hard, or becoming tense, frustrated, excited or stressed, and the blood flow will drop below threshold and the movie goes into PAUSE mode.

The movie returns to PLAY mode when you regain active focus and raise the blood flow level above threshold. Of course, the threshold difficulty variable is controlled by the neurofeedback therapist and can be made easier or more challenging, depending on the skill level of the trainee.

In addition to migraine, depression and ADHD, HEG NF has promising clinical potential for many types of learning, perceptual, cognitive, neurological and neurobehavioral disorders, such as ODD, OCD, Tourette's, Asperger's and mild Autism, as well as mild to severe head trauma, closed head injuries and seizure disorders. It is important to note that HEG does not replace EEG- they work best when used together.

However, HEG is often superior to EEG when the QEEG brain map and/or other clinical indicators suggest a need for prefrontal lobe training.
