What Is Neurofeedback Therapy?

Neurofeedback is pain-free and much less intimidating than it may seem.

The band or electrodes placed on the head monitor different parts of the brain, depending on where they're placed. Then, through audio or visual feedback, patients can see how their brain reacts to different prompts that a therapist or practitioner gives them.

The reactions are noted by a graph so that the person can see how they naturally react. Following this therapy, clients can then work with a professional to understand why they have these reactions. This can help to better understand the root of their feelings based on their natural reactions that they may not even realize are occurring.

Types of Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback therapy has proven to be useful in helping diagnose or treat a few different conditions, and each condition is associated with a slightly different type of neurofeedback therapy.

For each type, the electrodes attached to the skin look for certain brain frequencies—which is basically the speed at which brain waves are being emitted—that can show how a person is reacting.

Different types of frequencies represent different types of brain functions or reactions.

Techniques 

If you're seeking out neurofeedback therapy for a behavioural condition such as depression, a therapist will typically perform it and will ask you some questions based on the issues that you're looking to address.

Typically, you'll be able to see your brain's reactions in real-time.

Benefits of Neurofeedback Therapy

The biggest benefit of neurofeedback therapy is that it can display the inner workings of the brain. This can display reactions to things that you weren't consciously aware of, which can help you identify unhelpful behaviours and work to change them.

Another benefit of neurofeedback therapy is that it shows your brain's reactions in real-time. This allows you to understand your reactions better and to see them from an unbiased source. This is particularly good for those that struggle with anger management7 as they can often be sensitive to outside input.
