○
neurofeedback therapy is a non-invasive, clinically supervised technique aimed at optimizing brain function and improving mental, emotional, behavioral, and developmental health
○
it uses real-time EEG brainwave monitoring to help individuals regulate their brain activity
○
neurofeedback training provides individuals with the ability to improve cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and behavior
○
○
the muse 2 EEG headset is the primary device used for the therapy
○
it's a comfortable, lightweight, and simple-to-use device that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to a mobile phone or tablet
○
the myndlift clinical neurotherapy platform allows individuals to access real-time data and feedback during training sessions
○
the sessions can include various fun and engaging activities like listening to music, watching shows (e.g., netflix, hulu), or playing games
○
○
neurofeedback works by training the brain to self-regulate its electrical activity
○
brainwaves are electrical impulses generated by neurons firing in the brain these brainwaves are categorized into various frequencies, and each frequency is associated with a different mental state
○
through neurofeedback, individuals learn to increase or decrease certain brainwave frequencies, depending on their needs
○
this training helps the brain develop more efficient and healthy patterns of functioning
○
○
neurofeedback therapy typically involves 20-minute sessions, performed 5 times per week
○
the process is done remotely, meaning it can take place wherever the patient is
○
the brainwave data from the headset is continuously monitored, and adjustments to the training protocol are made as needed
○
○
the cost of neurofeedback therapy is $395 per month, which includes clinical supervision, a monthly virtual meeting with Dr. John Arango, and
access to the myndlift clinical neurotherapy platform
○
to participate in neurofeedback therapy, a muse 2 EEG headset is required this can be purchased for $295 or rented for $75 per month
○
the Peak Care Plan includes both the neurofeedback brain training and equipment rental
○
please note that insurance does not cover neurofeedback therapy
○
○
neurofeedback is beneficial for a wide range of emotional, mental, behavioral, and developmental challenges
○
ADHD
neurofeedback trains the brain to improve focus, attention, and cognitive clarity
the brain learns to stay in a calm, focused state, making it easier to concentrate on tasks, complete assignments, and regulate impulsive behaviors
○
ANXIETY & EMOTIONAL REGULATION
neurofeedback helps calm the brain by promoting relaxation and emotional balance
as a result, individuals experience less anxiety and develop healthier coping mechanisms
○
SLEEP
neurofeedback training helps increase delta waves (responsible for deep sleep) and decrease beta waves (associated with active thinking) this leads to better sleep quality, improved rest, and a more restorative sleep experience
○
BEHAVIOR
neurofeedback targets brainwaves related to impulsive behaviors and emotional dysregulation
it helps strengthen alpha waves to promote calmness and impulse control, allowing for improved behavior and emotional responses
○
LEARNING & ACADEMICS
neurofeedback helps enhance beta waves to improve focus, concentration, and cognitive processing, allowing for improved learning, better grades, and more efficient academic performance
○
SPORTS PERFORMANCE
neurofeedback promotes enhanced alpha and beta waves, improving focus, concentration, and mental clarity
this helps athletes stay in the zone, enhance coordination, and perform at their peak
○
ADDICTION & RECOVERY
neurofeedback helps regulate brain activity related to cravings and emotional impulses to manage triggers, reduce impulsive behaviors, and strengthen self-control which supports recovery from addiction
○
SELF-CONFIDENCE & MOTIVATION
neurofeedback helps regulate brainwaves responsible for self-perception and motivation
by strengthening alpha and beta waves, neurofeedback boosts confidence and motivation, helping individuals take on challenges with more resilience and belief in their abilities
○
EATING DISORDERS
neurofeedback helps balance theta and alpha waves to regulate emotions and improve body image
it helps individuals make healthier decisions about food and develop a more balanced relationship with their bodies
○
PHOBIAS & FEARS
neurofeedback helps the brain regulate excessive anxiety by optimizing alpha and beta
waves, allowing individuals to face feared situations with more calmness and control
○
○
neurofeedback therapy can be conducted remotely, meaning patients can participate from the comfort of their own homes
the therapist monitors the brainwave data in real-time, adjusting the training protocols as needed
○
this remote capability makes neurofeedback brain editing more accessible and flexible, offering patients the same high-quality care as in-person sessions
