Neurofeedback will change your mind….literally
Our brain has electrical currents in alpha, beta, theta and delta. Each current variation has a different characteristic.
| Beta (β) | 12–35 Hz | Anxiety dominant, active, external attention, relaxed |
| Alpha (α) | 8–12 Hz | Very relaxed, passive attention |
| Theta (θ) | 4–8 Hz | Deeply relaxed, inward focused |
| Delta (δ) | 0.5–4 Hz | Sleep |
With stroke, the brain waves may be more or less active. The concept of Neurofeedback is to calm overactive and stimulate underactive waves to give you a balanced brain. You watch a screen and follow the directives to “reward” your brain for honing in on the desired brain wave, thus training your brain to fire up or put to rest that current.
There is some controversy on how well it really works or is it a placebo affect. It isn’t for everyone – if you have a cranioplasty plate, vp shunt or other implants, you may not be a candidate. Discuss this with your surgeon or neurologist before proceeding.
We have more information for you to do your own research on the Resources page. Below are providers offering Neurofeedback services and at the bottom of the page is a state list for you to narrow your search locally.
The fine print: We treat our listings seriously because nothing is more important to us than safe and successful stroke recovery. While we review the information provided by business owners and practitioners to verify the appearance of responsible, ethical treatment, keeping the stroke survivor’s best interests in mind, we have no ability to enforce business practices, set guidelines or practice standards and cannot guarantee the quality or outcome of their services. Please research your potential provider thoroughly before proceeding with hiring them.
We also reserve the right to refuse listing to any business or practitioner that does not appear to meet a minimum threshold of standard care. Example, providers falsely promising they can reverse brain damage, practicing in a field without proper training or predatory , controversial treatment plans that do nothing more than drain a survivor’s wallet.
