Therapy in Washington

Neurofeedback (NFB), also called neurotherapy or neurobiofeedback, is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity—most commonly electroencephalography (EEG), to teach self-regulation of brain function. Typically, sensors are placed on the scalp to measure activity, with measurements displayed using video displays or sound.

Neurofeedback treats stress-related disorders, attention disorders, physical and emotional pain, and anxiety and depression. Neurofeedback is a treatment method that reduces stress and enhances well-being by using principles developed in the field of electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, now called neurofeedback. Neurofeedback reduces symptoms that may not be recognizable as stress related, but are often underpinning physical and emotional pain, attention difficulties, emotional disorders, and physical symptoms of all kinds. Neurofeedback is also effectively used by athletes and performers to train for peak performance.
