The brain is involved in everything you do. Our method of brain training is neurofeedback, also called EEG biofeedback, or neurotherapy. Neurofeedback challenges and trains the brain to function better and empowers you to self-regulate and change your brain’s behavior. This powerful brain-based technique is not new; it has been successfully helping clients around the world for over 50 years. It is non-invasive with potentially dramatic results for a wide range of symptoms. Brain function determines our success or failure in the context of relationships, work, and academic performance. Your brain is in charge of focusing, listening, problem solving, decision-making, relaxing, as well as how you behave.
If there are problems in your brain, they result in problems in daily functioning. Unlike brain training games advertised for smart devices, we train the brain as we are imaging the electrical activity of the brain so that the training is precise and targeted to your brain. We base the mode or form of treatment on our overall assessment of your brain function and your current experience of symptoms, whether emotional, cognitive, behavior, or stress-related.
Did you know that you can exercise control over many of your body’s responses and reactions by voluntarily changing your body’s biorhythms? Biofeedback empowers you to self-regulate and change physiological responses to stressors of all sources (internal to you or from the environment). Additional improvements may be made in your focus, concentration, relaxation, and sleep as well as many other conditions through neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback). The specific biofeedback intervention that is used will be based on a complete and thorough assessment.
Interactive Metronome can help in many areas of life including memory, attention, math, athletic performance and fine motor skills. Interactive Metronome (IM) is an evidence-based assessment and training tool that measures & improves Neurotiming, or the synchronization of neural impulses within key brain networks for cognitive, communicative, sensory & motor performance.
As the individual activates a trigger (there are both hand and foot triggers) in time with a steady auditory beat, the IM technology provides real-time feedback for precise timing.
Knowing whether he/she is hitting before, after, or exactly in sync with the beat, down to the millisecond, allows the individual to make immediate corrections to improve timing. Over the course of training the individual may see results in areas such as:
- Attention
- Processing Speed
- Working Memory
- Executive Functions
- Self-Regulation
- Expressive & Receptive Language
- Reading Comprehension, Rate & Fluency
- Mathematics
- Upper Extremity Function (Parkinson’s, hemiplegia, CP, hand function)
- Motor Coordination
- Athletic Performance (golf, soccer)
Timing is what allows us to focus, process language, keep our balance, have good athletic performance, and even read. Timing is responsible for the synchronous communication of our brains’ network system that connects cognitive processes and physical movement. Therefore the ability to have accurate Neurotiming is one of the most critical factors in human performance.
