Most disorders are treated these days by medication, with the disadvantage of not always getting a desirable response, side effects, and problems of addiction. A tablet is always a one fits all solution, which stops to work, when discontinuing intake. Neurofeedback offers an alternative as you are training your brainwaves at the root of the problem. The more often you train, the faster the brain is learning. Doubtless, this leads to long-lasting results, similar as you have learned in childhood how to ride a bike. The brain never forgets although you have not practiced for long time. Intensive research described different brainwave patterns for different diseases – like footprints. Some patterns are just too fast, others are maybe too slow, others show an impaired team play of sharing information between the different sites. Neurofeedback offers an effective way of changing and regulating the disturbances of brainwave activity.

It addresses the source, by fine-tuning the central command unit - your brain. The goal of Neurofeedback is to normalize irregular brain wave patterns. Different types of Neurofeedback as Amplitude training, Z-score surface or sLORETA training protocols are chosen according to the findings in the qEEG. Each and every training protocol is unique, as your brain is unique. A hand-tailored treatment protocol following the findings in the qEEG will guarantee that only this will be trained. For example, research shows that people with ADD or ADHD have 30% more slow (Theta) brain wave activity when performing cognitive tasks than normally found. As a result, they constantly seek out stimulation by daydreaming, fidgeting, talking a great deal and rapidly switching their attention from one activity to another. Stimulant medications, such as are helpful by artificially increasing their level of brain activation. Neurofeedback is a drug-free and side-effect-free solution that teaches people to increase brain activity as needed, alleviating symptoms and often eliminating the need for medications.

The requirements, demand, and competition in modern society and labor market are huge. Only the best will be able to succeed in the battle. Therefore the best schools and universities are chosen, where knowledge is submitted. The problem is that your performance is not all about knowing it is about self-marketing and focus without getting hyper-vigilant.

Not being able to focus when it’s needed, sustain concentration during a task, keeping clarity of thoughts and ideas, having a good self-consciousness without fear to lose control that can so often disturb your ability to perform to your best.
Performance can be improved by Neurofeedback training by learning how to achieve a mental state what is called the Zone. It is used worldwide not only for athletes and musicians.

You will feel an electro cap on your head, soft as you wear a bathing cap when going swimming. You sit in a comfortable chair which is adjusted towards your needs, to ensure that you feel comfortable and relaxed. The electro cap is connected to an amplifier that forwards the recorded signals to a computer who translates them. You will look onto a second monitor where your translated brainwaves will drive a game or a movie in real-time. Now the subconscious learning process starts as your brain figures out fast what it has to do to score in a game or to drive the movie (operant conditioning). Soon you will feel the difference as well, as brain fog disappears, you feel more concentrated, maybe as well a bit happier as when you came. You will see that your abilities either in competing or speed are increasing. The medical professional will sit direct next to you guaranteeing that the whole training starting from recoding sites of your head, collection of data, translation and rewarding of desirable brain activity is done at the highest professional standard. There is absolutely nothing to be concerned about or worried about.

Both have the same scientific background and are getting recorded the same way by using a 19 channel amplifier after attachment of electrodes to the scalp, these days an electro cap, as it is more convenient. It generates the raw EEG data. By reviewing the raw EEG data usually the diagnostic process ends commonly. In a quantitative EEG the analysis process is extended by selecting and editing the best episodes of the raw EEG and comparing them to a database.

Brain waves appear at different frequencies and with this different appearance. Faster waves are needed to complete a task, but if they are getting too fast we will feel anxious and nervous. Slower brainwaves occur when we are daydreaming, zooming out or sleeping.

Neurofeedback training is a painless and non-invasive procedure. A cap with small sensors is placed on the scalp as in normal EEG (Electroencephalography) recording. The brain waves are recorded by these sensors and displayed on a computer screen by means of a video game and a sound signal. The patient is asked to make the video game go… with his/her brain! As activity in the brain shifts in the desired direction, the video game progresses and the player scores. If activity in the brain doesn’t change, or increases in an adverse direction, the game stops. Gradually, a learning of new brain wave patterns takes place.

Neurofeedback is efficient for most clients with perceptible results. Neurofeedback training is a learning process; therefore results are seen gradually over time. In about ten sessions you will already feel an improvement of your complaints. Most patients meet their treatment goals in 20 sessions, depending on their condition. Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes, which includes the hook-up, training homework assignments and discussion of session-to-session progress.

Neurofeedback is FDA approved, and meets the highest criteria for evidence-based neurofeedback practice. It has been cross-validated by both PET and MRI, is used by Universities, Medical Centers, the US military, Research Institutes, etc. The hardware and software used for Neurofeedback in our Medical Center was designed and developed by one of the world leaders in brain research and neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback is completely non-intrusive and safe. In the same way that muscles strengthen after use, Neurofeedback strengthens neural-pathways with specifically tailored exercises. It is simply a learning technique. The brain is simply self-correcting, based on responding to being given the opportunity to witness its own activity.

At KindCare Medical Center all age groups - starting with children at the age of 6 years, teens, adolescents, adults and seniors - are most welcome from all over the world.

That depends on the symptoms and disorder. After anamnesis including present and past medical history, family history and current medication, physical and psychopathological examination by Neurology Doctor, will be followed by quantitative EEG conduction. In a follow up appointment the results will be discussed. Rule of thumb says that most conditions require 20 to 40 sessions, sometimes less, in more serious conditions maybe 40 to 60 sessions. Kindly recognize, that is a learning process.
