What is EEG

Biofeedback and

what is it used for?

EEG Biofeedback

(ElectroEncephaloGraphy

- Biological Feedback)

also called Neurofeedback

EEG Biofeedback is a learning

strategy that enables persons to

alert their brain wawes

When information about person’s own

brainwaves characteristic is available

to him

He can learn to change

them.

You can think of it as

EXERCISE FOR THE

BRAIN

What is it used for?

School problems

(poor results,

dyslexia, dysgraphia,

dysorthography, etc.)

Attention Deficit

Hyperactivity Disorder

(ADHD) & ADD

Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome (CFS)

Stress, nervous tension

Sleep disorders,

nocturia

Infantile cerebral palsy

Anxiety, panic attacks

Epilepsy

Stage fright, internal

tension, poor self-

valuation

Post-traumatic Stress

Disorder

Chronic pain and

migraines

Stroke/Minor

Traumatic Brain Injury

(MTBI)

How is it done?

How does EEG

Biofeedback look like?

The patient is asked

to play the video

game with his brain

How long does training

usually lasts?

For most conditions, initial

progress can be seen within about

ten sessions. Initial training goals

may be met by twenty sessions. In

the case of hyperactivity and

attention deficit disorder, training

is expected to take about forty

sessions, or even more in severe

cases.

Some symptoms of head

injury often respond in less
than twenty sessions (quality
of sleep; fatigue; chronic
pain), whereas others may
require longer training before
they show an initial response.

How successful the

neurotherapy is?

• Some clinicians and researchers

have reported remarkable success

in the treatment of ADD/ADHD

with Neurotherapy.

• Others still consider Neurotherapy

to be an experimental procedure.

• More than 700 groups worldwide

are using EEG biofeedback for

treatment of ADD/ADHD.

How successful the

neurotherapy is?

• It is an effective treatment for

migraine and tension headaches
among both children and adults.

• In more than 90 percent of children

under the age of twelve with sleeping
problems such as bedwetting,
recovery is expected within the first
two months of biofeedback treatment.
