What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique used to help the human brain self-regulate.

Using sensors and specialized software, we directly measure brainwave activity and reflect it through a video display. This process, also known as brain mapping, allows the brain to see its wave activity and then adjust itself for improved cognitive functions.

Neurofeedback sessions do not transmit anything to the brain. Instead, we record electrical activity from the EEG and provide feedback.

This brain training service helps clients enhance cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills, supporting children and adults in achieving self-regulation. Over time, this can lead to positive effects of neurofeedback, such as improved focus, reduced anxiety, and better overall mental clarity.

How Neurofeedback Works

Neurofeedback is a straightforward process, often known as brain training. It involves watching a movie of your choice while connected to EEG sensors. As you watch the film, these sensors monitor your brain waves, subtly guiding your brain toward more optimal functioning.

This process gives instant feedback to your brain by allowing the movie to playfully only when your brainwave activity is in the optimal range. When wave activity is out of range, the movie fades, signaling to your brain that something is imbalanced.

Throughout UTBS’ brain performance training program, your brain learns from this feedback. Over time, neurofeedback treatments can help regulate alpha waves, which play a crucial role in relaxation and mental clarity. These lasting structural changes enable your brain to consistently operate in an optimal range, enhancing overall cognitive functions.

Is Neurofeedback Safe?

Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive therapy. It monitors your brain activity by using sensors placed on the scalp to provide real-time feedback that helps your human brain learn healthier patterns. The treatment is natural and effective in improving cognitive functions. It does not send electrical activity into the brain.

This therapy is backed by research for its safety and the effect of neurofeedback in improving brain function, making it suitable for individuals of all ages.

What about Medications?

With successful neurofeedback training, the brain takes over more of the role of regulating itself. Meaning there may no longer be a need for medications for brain function or lower doses.

This decrease in medications can be striking when the medications play a supportive role in any event. At UTBS, we are aware that the more severe disorders that we are targeting with our work may prefer to work with medication. Clients must communicate with their prescribing physician regarding neurofeedback and medications. This will help you and your family get the best possible service tailored to your unique needs.

Insurance Questions?

We accept most major private insurance plans but encourage you to check with your insurance provider for specific details. Our dedicated insurance specialists are experts in facilitating coverage for your needs. We also offer multiple payment plan options and some limited scholarship assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of neurofeedback treatments can vary depending on the number of sessions needed and the type of neurofeedback used.  Get in contact with us to discuss more.

While neurofeedback treatments are safe and non-invasive, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as fatigue or mild headaches after a session.

These effects are typically short-lived as the brain adjusts to changes in electrical activity. Since neurofeedback works by training brain waves, we recommend multiple sessions to reduce the side effects and see long-term benefits.

Coverage for neurofeedback therapy depends on your specific insurance plan. Some providers may cover the effect of neurofeedback for certain conditions, while others may classify it as an alternative treatment. We encourage families to check with their insurance provider to determine if wave activity monitoring and neurofeedback sessions are included in their plan.

Yes, neurofeedback therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment for children. It works by monitoring and training brain waves to promote better self-regulation and focus. Because neurofeedback simply helps adjust electrical activity in the brain without introducing medication, it is considered a gentle approach for children with ADHD, anxiety, and other neurological concerns.

As with any neurofeedback treatment, it is important to consult with a professional to determine the best approach for your child’s needs.
