BootCamp for the Brain
Brainwave Biofeedback

by Penny Hyndman

 

Brainwave Biofeedback, also referred to as brain training, is based on the scientific finding that you can learn to change your brain’s functioning through feedback about its electrical activity. The brain is always working with every other body system - your immune, endocrine, digestive, cardiac and respiratory system. If you positively change any part of this interconnected brain-body network you can trigger healthy changes throughout your whole body.

Injuries, stress, medications, fatigue, emotional distress, trauma and pain can create patterns in your brain’s activity that makes it hard to shift states. You can teach your brain to be flexible and resilient allowing you to transition more easily, decreasing turbulence and increasing efficiency in your brain. It is not about teaching certain states like focus or stillness, it is more about stabilizing brainwave dynamics creating balance within the body.

Biofeedback works on the principle that your brain and nervous system is a self-regulating “pattern maker” and “difference detector” giving your brain an “edge” by alerting you to your external and internal environment. The computer acts as a mirror: while sitting in front of a video screen watching an active display and listening to your favorite music you can train your brain to be more effective and efficient. Your brain detects the difference before you do and automatically / subconsciously adjusts your brainwave dynamics to bring the music back on.

Mind chatter is reduced and focus is improved creating inner peace. It has been documented that Brainwave Biofeedback has positive effects in stabilizing your emotions and also reduces sleep problems, anxiety, pain, stress, attention problems and signs of depression.
