WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK TRAINING?

It works by ‘feeding back’ information about brain function – when more desireable brain function occurs, reinforcement will be given – a movie/game will play on screen Learning to control the on-screen display, one learns to control aspects of brain function Learning to change brain function leads to changes in psychological functioning and brain health

WHAT DO WE DO? 1. MEASURE YOUR BRAIN FUNCTION

WHAT DO WE DO? 2. CREATE 3D FUNCTIONAL MAPS

This can be done in real-time

WHAT DO WE DO? 3. IMPROVE BRAIN FUNCTION TO IMPROVE BEHAVIOUR

Brain function that needs to be improved

Improved brain function =
