EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback)
Neurofeedback is a painless treatment that “exercises” or trains your brain to function correctly and efficiently. Using computer software and EEG equipment, a technician observes your brain activity in real time. You are given a simple task to do, like watch a movie or play a video game. As your brain processes this information, the computer rewards your brain whenever it is working optimally. Your “reward” will be shown on your screen in the form of a clearer picture for the movie, or winning a game. Your brain quickly adjusts so that it gets the reward it wants as often as possible.
By doing this, your brain gets stronger and functions better- neurofeedback truly is exercise for the brain. Eating disorders, depression and other neurological or mental health conditions almost always involve sub-optimal brain function. Correcting deficits and strengthening its performance overall helps you leave your symptoms behind.
Because neurofeedback works by normalizing brain wave patterns, it can help correct many neurological and mental conditions. For instance, neurofeedback has been shown to be effective for treating anxiety, eating disorders, depression, PTSD, headaches, migraines, seizures and autism spectrum disorders, to name a few.
Eating disorders are frequently accompanied by other brain-related difficulties. Normalizing brain wave activity can greatly reduce symptoms of these conditions, which will ease eating disorder symptoms indirectly as well as directly.
