To a lot of people, Neurofeedback

sounds kind of scary like...


Colin Clive and Dwight Frye in the 1931 !lm Frankenstein.


But actually Neurofeedback is a simple, Non-Invasive Procedure.

At CAFA the process starts with:


AnxietyDepression

Focus

Sleep Cycle

Attention De!cit DisorderParkinsons

Panic Attacks

Chronic Sleep Disorder

Addiction

Seizure Disorders Stroke & Head Injury

Autoimmune Dysfunctions

OCD

Headaches and Migraines

PTSD

Attachment Disorder

Premenstrual Syndrome

Identifying Your Symptoms:

Asthma Trauma


Then explaining what symptoms you would like to treat


The clinician will develop a personalized plan of what to target, based on your

presenting problems


Sensors are placed on your scalp based on your personal treatment plan.


Here’s a closer look. The sensors areonly on the surface


The next step is choosing what you want to watch on the screen. Choose between car race

games, movies and tropical scenes.


In this example, the client is watching the car game


Certain information is taken from the sensors and shown back to the brain by the changes in the game. In this way the brain gets to see what it is doing. So, like a dancer training in front of a mirror, your brain can begin to self correct.


The information given to your brain is through your senses... visual,

auditory, and tactile (that’s where the bear comes in).


With a movie, the screen will shrink, fog out, and volume will change slightly. Your brain is a great change detector and will

take note that it is the one prompting the changes it senses.


The electrical activity (eeg) that the sensors pick up and other information is displayed on the clinician's screen.
