Neurofeedback training is like going to the gym, only its building ‘brain muscle’. How? Well, different brainwaves are associated with different activities:
- Delta for sleeping
- Theta for daydreaming and imagination
- Alpha for relaxation
- Beta-SMR for concentration or excitement
A well-functioning brain will more consistently produce the right brainwaves for the right activity. Neurofeedback challenges the brain to reach and maintain a ‘high performance’ focused state. Just like an athlete’s trained body enables him to consistently perform well.
In training, sensors that monitor brainwave activity are placed on the client’s scalp. This is shown to the client via a computer game of moving pictures and sounds. The trainer monitors and adjusts the game to boost the client’s brain function. As a result, when it is time to study and focus the brain will more easily focus; and when its time to rest the brain will shift more easily to a relaxed mode.
