Change Your Mind with Neurofeedback For thousands of years, people have used meditation and prayer to change the brain by training the mind. In the past 50 years, Neurofeedback technology has made a much faster and easier option possible: Change your mind by training the brain directly! When you give your brain real-time information about its energy, you can teach it to calm down or speed up, to shift more smoothly and become more efficient. Neurofeedback is a holistic, alternative modality that is drug-free, painless, and non-invasive. Neurofeedback acts as “Technological Cognitive Behavior Therapy” and treats many neuropsychological conditions which involve the self-regulation of the cerebral cortex of the brain. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated in its ability to manage the cognitive processes of the brain including focus, memory, planning, organizing, learning, as well as regulate emotional tone and general over arousal of the brain. Neurofeedback uses direct training of brain function to address problems of dysregulation. These encompass numerous disorders including anger, anxiety, mild autism, attention deficits, oppositional behavior, depression, migraines, obsessive compulsive disorder, dementia, PTSD, sleep, impulsivity; it also works to enhance academic and athletic performance. By applying sensors to the head, we are able to process the feedback from brain activity. It has been discovered that when people are given information about the activity of what their brain is doing, they are able to consciously or subconsciously control these functions through self- regulation. Simply put, Neurofeedback is training in self- regulation, which is a necessary part of good brain function and which in turn, allows the central nervous system to function at an optimal level. Change Your Mind with Neurofeedback works with children, adolescents, and adults, and is a clinical provider for two different state-of-the-art Neurofeedback systems: • PIR HEG (Passive Infrared Hemoencephelography) • Cygnet, EEG (Electroencephalography) ************ Gerry Radano, LMSW, AIBT www.changeyourmindnf.com gerryradano@aol.com 914.337.0670 (H) 914.420.9064 (C) |
