NEUROFEEDBACK
DESCRIPTION
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback therapy that uses real-time monitoring of brainwave activity to help individuals regulate and improve their brain function. It involves placing electrodes on the scalp to measure brainwaves and then providing visual or auditory feedback to the person based on their brain activity. The goal is to help the individual learn how to self-regulate their brainwaves, potentially improving focus, reducing stress, and managing various mental health conditions.
