Resilia ~ Neurofeedback Services

Like other forms of biofeedback, neurofeedback using monitoring devices to provide moment to moment information to an individual on the state of their physiological functioning. The characteristics that distinquish neurofeedback from other forms of biofeedback is a focus on the central nervous system and the brainwaves. Neurofeedback has its foundation in basic applied neuroscience with supportive research findings. A detailed list of neurofeedback research can be found at the International Society of Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) website. At Resilia we incorporate behavioral and cognitive interventions while utilizing neurofeedback to support changes in brainwave activity.

What to Expect:

Neurofeedback training is preceded by an assessment of brainwave activity and psychological status. The brain assessment required is known as a Quantitive EEG (QEEG) and it allows for identification of the specific areas of concern so as to develop the appropriate training protocol. During training, sensors are painlessly placed on the scalp and then connected to sensitive electronics and computer software that detect, amplify and record your brainwaves. While you are connected to the neurofeedback equipment via the sensors, you will be asked to conduct a variety of different activities such as mental fitness and computer-driven exercises. Each time your brainwaves cooperate in the manner that supports the changes you want to make, you are rewarded via a feedback loop. In time your brain is gently nudged into behaving in a new way with a healthier pattern of functioning. Once change/learning is achieved, the benefits appear to be permanent in most cases. At times, "tune -up" sessions may be required if stressors or significant life circumstance disrupt normal functioning.

Steps for Obtaining Services:

1. Schedule an initial assessment visit. This visit lasts 1.5 hours.
2. Download / print and complete the forms on the "Forms" link page. Bring the completed forms with you to the first visit.
3. Schedule Quantitative EEG assessment, if necessary.
4. Intervention Sessions - 1-3 sessions a week lasting approximately 1 hour for an agreed/understood period of time.

Insurance reimbursement is often available.
