How Does BrainCore Neurofeedback Work?

Neurofeedback is exercise for the brain!

Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive, drugless method for teaching the brain to function in a more balanced and healthful way. A simple and pleasant learning modality that can help shift the way the brain produces and distributes its electrical energy. Four divisions of electrical impulses made by our brain, Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta are called “Frequency Bands”. These Frequency Bands tell us which parts of your brain are active and which frequency bands the brain should be using to complete a given task, activity or should be most active during different states of mind.

 

BrainCore Neurofeedback is Safe, Drugless & Non-Invasive

Frequency Bands and Daily Life

During normal daily activities such as balancing our checkbooks or following directions in class, certain areas of our brain will need to be active and using the faster frequency called Beta. On the other hand, if after a long day we wish to relax and wind down, a different part of the brain will need to be activated using the slower brainwave frequency called Alpha. The goal of Neurofeedback is to improve the brain’s ability to self-regulate, maintain flexibility, and smoothly shift between states of relaxation and arousal. Since the Brain also controls Attention Regulation, Emotional Regulation and Affect Regulation, this ultimately allows the entire Central Nervous System to resume normal functioning.

 

Produce The Right Signal at the Right Rate & Time

“Neurofeedback therapy takes abnormal brainwave patterns and makes them normal. When we have normal brainwave patterns, the brain is better to self-regulate itself….”

— Dr. Guy Annunziata

Neurofeedback Training Sessions

Individuals are connected to a computer using wires and sensors, thereby allowing the BrainCore technology to monitor the brainwave activity. The software automatically detects when the brainwaves are properly ordered and feeds that information back to the patient in real time. The feedback appears in the form of a game, movie, or sound which signals to the patient that the brainwaves are becoming more ordered. The patient’s own brainwaves actually control the game, movie or sound activity, and the observation of this dynamic helps the brain learn how to improve its own regulation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

BrainCore neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that helps train the brain to function more efficiently. It uses real-time feedback from brainwave activity to support self-regulation.

Yes—neurofeedback is non-invasive and does not involve medication. Sensors monitor brain activity and provide feedback; nothing is “put into” the brain.

You’re connected to sensors that monitor brainwave activity while you watch a display (often a game, movie, or sound-based feedback). The system responds in real time, helping your brain learn healthier patterns.

The number of sessions varies based on goals, symptoms, and how your brain responds to training. We’ll discuss a recommended plan after learning more about your needs.

Absolutely. Many people find that combining neurofeedback with counseling supports both brain-based regulation and practical emotional/relational growth.
