How Does Neurofeedback Therapy Work?
During a session, the brain receives real-time feedback about its own activity. This allows the brain to learn how to achieve and maintain a more optimal state on its own, without medication or invasive procedures. For this reason, neurofeedback is often used as a natural way to support brain self-regulation.
Brainwave activity detected by sensors is displayed on a computer, which immediately processes the information and provides feedback in the form of visual or auditory signals. This may include a cartoon, television program, or movie. When the brain operates in a more optimal state of focus or relaxation, the content continues smoothly, providing positive reinforcement.
The result is a more balanced and stable nervous system, improved self-regulation, and a greater ability to cope with everyday challenges.
What Is the Othmer Method?
The Othmer Method focuses specifically on training low-frequency brainwave activity. It can be compared to fine-tuning the deeper regulatory processes of the brain that influence:
- emotional balance and stability
- self-regulation
- response speed
- nervous system stability
