Neurofeedback is a neurological therapy used to identify and correct areas of your brain that are not functioning properly. In a nutshell, neurofeedback is a way to condition and train the brain to optimize its function.  

Our team at The Oxford Center will use a qEEG, or quantitative electroencephalogram, to observe and measure your brain waves. This test will reveal target areas of your brain that are hypo or hyperactive and will allow our team to design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your brain and your needs.  

Using state-of-the-art equipment, we are then able to train your brain by presenting it with a view of its activity. It’s like giving the brain a mirror to see when it is operating at an optimal cognitive balance and when it deviates from that balance.

Patients will begin with a qEEg, which will be used to develop a plan for their therapy. For each session, you will sit back in a comfortable chair and watch relaxing, calming images on a screen and listen to pleasant music through headphones.  

Following the first session, patients will be presented with a stimulus to help their brain learn how to self-regulate and function correctly. For example, a stimulus might be seeing a picture for some patients. If the brain is functioning correctly, the stimulus will appear clearly. If the brain begins to function incorrectly (either hypoactive or hyperactive) the image will begin to blur and your brain will automatically work to regulate itself to see the image clearly.  

This teaches and conditions your brain in a natural way to self-regulate, cope, and manage correctly.
