Train Your Brain...
Foothill Cities: Change Your Life
Thirteen year old Aaron used to explode into angry temper tantrums that could last for hours. It hasn’t happened in five years. Five years ago, Aaron sat in front of a computer screen, trying to get the pac man to move. With non-invasive electrodes attached to his scalp to transmit his brains electrical signals to the computer, his brain was learning to calm itself down.
Aaron also taught his brain how to improve concentration, attention and focus.
Aaron was using neurofeedback, a type of biofeedback for the brain, to teach his brain to regulate itself better. His moods improved, his home life improved, his grades improved. He started playing team sports.
Neurofeedback has been used for decades in private clinics, but few well-controlled research studies had been done—giving it an unscientific reputation. That’s beginning to change.
Researchers are now studying and refining the therapy—with promising results. Neurofeedback is being used to treat a growing number of conditions, including explosive anger, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety.
“We’ve done some definitive studies finally that show it works in important ways,” says Eran Zaidel, a professor of behavioral neuroscience and cognition at UCLA’s Brain Research Institute.
“We have found that neurofeedback helps where talk therapy alone may not. Often, the best treatment plan includes both counseling and neurofeedback” says Mary Lindsey, a Marriage and Family Therapist in Claremont, CA.
Neurofeedback can help a person increase the benefits they receive from counseling. People learn to relax and be in charge of their emotions.
