Neurofeedback, also known as biofeedback or neurotherapy, is a technique that allows you to directly train the brain, balance its functioning and improve the ability to concentrate, care, memory and confidence, making it more effective.
Therefore, it is possible to treat problems with changes in brain function naturally, such as:
In addition, neurofeedback can also be used in some cases of seizures, autism and even cerebral palsy.
This technique uses only the normal functioning processes of the brain, without the introduction of external factors such as electricity or any type of brain implant.
Neurofeedback can be performed in some clinics with psychology services, however, there are still few places that offer therapy, as it is necessary to have a type of advanced training to do the technique correctly.
The price is usually 3,000 reais on average for a 30-session package, but this can be more expensive, depending on the location chosen. In addition, up to 60 sessions may be required to achieve the desired goals.
The neurofeedback process begins with the placement of electrodes on the scalp, which are small sensors that capture brain waves and display them on a monitor, which is shown to the person.
Then a game is displayed on the monitor in which the person should try to change the brain waves using only the brain. Over time, and in a few sessions, it is possible to train the brain to function in a more balanced way, treating functioning problems or at least mitigating symptoms and the need for medication, for example.
