It is important to control the functioning of the brain in order to avoid going crazy. With technology it is now possible to display the activity of a person’s brain and hence makes it possible to control it as well. It is generally used as a treatment for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in which the brain is taught to regulate itself by visualizing the functioning of it by the method of electroencephalography. This process is known as Neurofeedback (NFB) or neurotherapy and also as neurobiofeedback.
It is achieved by the help of sensors placed on the scalp and only a trained physiotherapist can perform this. Neurofeedback therapy in California makes use of brainwaves and it is showed to the patient. The patient is then advised of better brainwaves and they themselves try to alter it without any medication or therapy. It is also helpful for people suffering from anxiety, depression, headaches, migraines and sleep disorders. Emotional disorders can also be treated using this technique.
Although it sounds a bit like a sci-fi movies but it is true that the brain function can be altered by this method in a very scientific way. Using of electrodes and the sending of electronic signals to the computer is not an illusion. These waves are then turned into images and videos that are shown to the patient, just like a video game. They are then advised to change the brainwaves by altering the image and video according to their convenience inside their head.
An effective Neurofeedback therapy in California can take up to 30-35 sessions as it requires time and focus. Even after getting such a treatment it is not necessary that everyone benefits from it because studies show that only 20% of the patients get actual relief after this procedure.
