Neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback, is a highly advanced, scientific approach used to optimize your brain function. At Neurofeedback Associates of Jacksonville, we specialize in treating Attention Deficit Disorder, Learning issues, Depression and Anxiety among other issues.  Using the latest technology (patented by NASA and used to train astronauts and fighter pilots) we can use your brain's natural ability to adapt to train you to produce particular brain wavelengths at particular sites in the brain. Producing the right wavelength at the right site can enhance desired traits (e.g. allowing you to achieve incredible focus and concentration, emotional balance, improved mood) and minimize many symptoms (reducing migraines, hyperactivity, anxiety).

With our state of the art equipment, we teach the brain to add more of one brainwave and get rid of others, depending on what we want or need.

 
Too much slow wave activity: fogginess,
daydreaming
Brainwaves

 

 

Too much fast wave activity:
Overactive

We teach the brain to inhibit the parietal fast waves, which cause overactivity, and to inhibit cortical slow waves, which cause daydreaming and spacing out. Simultaneously, we teach the brain to augment brainwaves necessary for concentration.



The Feedback in neurofeedback is a computer game or a DVD. You sit in front of a computer screen playing a game or watching a movie with electrodes attached to your scalp that measure your brain activity. Each time your brain produces the desired brain activity (more/larger of one brainwave or less/smaller of another), you get a reward. The DVD screen size may increase or the character in the game performs better instantaneously based on what your brain is doing. Your job is to watch a movie, or play a game, while the brain learns to produce what we ask of it.

When we measure different places in the brain with an EEG, we are actually adding together a number of different brain wavelengths. The type of brainwave, the amount you have, and where you have it correspond to states of feeling and abilities.
