Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that helps the brain get better at managing its own activity by utilizing the brain’s inherent capacity for change and adaptation known as neuroplasticity. This brainwave training is designed to optimize brain function and can effectively treat conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and insomnia. It is also utilized to improve performance in sports, academics, and business by enhancing increased thinking speed, improved concentration and enhanced problem-solving.
