Neurofeedback uses a combination of videos, video games, computers, and other tool to get patients to regulate their brain activity. The patient is usually connected to sensors that read their brain activity, and the therapist uses imagery to cause different and desired brain waves. While studies have had mixed results, and the scientific community is a bit divided, neurofeedback has helped many people, but they’re not sure why. Neurofeedback has successfully treated people with ADHD, PTSD and even expedited recovery from brain surgery. Though further studies are needed, it is an interesting and organic approach to treating ailments that people are often prescribed medication for.
