Neurofeedback, also known as biofeedbak or neurotherapy, is a technique that allows you to directly train the brain, balancing its functioning and improving concentration, attention, memory and confidence, making it more efficient.
Thus, it is possible to treat in a natural way problems with changes in brain functioning such as:
- Anxiety;
- Depression;
- Sleep problems;
- Attention and hyperactivity disorder;
- Frequent migraines.
In addition, neurofeedback can also be used in some cases of seizures, autism and even cerebral palsy.
In this technique only the normal processes of brain functioning are used, without the introduction of external factors such as electricity or any type of brain implant.
Price and where to do
Neurofeedback can be done at some clinics with psychology services, however, there are still a few places that make therapy available, since it is necessary to have an advanced type of training to do the technique correctly.
The price is usually an average of 3 thousand reais for a package of 30 sessions, but can be more expensive depending on the location selected. In addition, up to 60 sessions may be required to achieve the desired goals.
How it works
The neurofeedback process begins with the placement of electrodes on the scalp, which are tiny sensors that pick up the brain waves and show them on a monitor, which is shown to the person himself.
Then, a game is presented on the monitor in which the person should try to change the brainwaves using only the brain. Over time, and over a few sessions, it is possible to train the brain to function in a more balanced way, treating problems of functioning or at least relieving symptoms and the need for remedies, for example.
