How is Biofeedback done?
During the initial interview, an individual and family health history will be obtained, previous tests reviewed, and a description of current symptoms will be documented.
A Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) and neurocognitive tests are often given. Treatment goals and neurofeedback procedures are discussed.
Neurofeedback training is a painless, non-invasive procedure. One or more sensors are placed on the scalp and on the ear with eeg paste. The electro-encephalogram (EEG) measures the amount of electrical energy put out by the brain.
Just like a radio station, the electricity is measured in terms of "frequency". The brainwaves or "bands" are monitored by means of an amplifier and a computer-based instrument that processes the brain's electrical signal and provides the proper feedback to the client.
