Neurofeedback Exercise For the Brain
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive, drugless method for teaching the brain to function in a more balanced and healthful way. A simple and pleasant learning modality that can help shift the way the brain produces and distributes its electrical energy. Four divisions of electrical impulses made by our brain, Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta are called “Frequency Bands”. These Frequency Bands tell us which parts of your brain are active and which frequency bands the brain should be using to complete a given task, activity or should be most active during different states of mind.
Neurofeedback Training Sessions
Patients connect to a computer using sensors that allow the computer to record their brainwave activity. These sensors are noninvasive and painless. The sensors simply receive the brainwaves emitted by the brain, and carry them to the computer for amplification and recording by the BrainCore software.
Information about these brainwaves is displayed on the provider’s monitor. The BrainCore Neurofeedback software automatically detects when the brainwaves are properly ordered, and it feeds that information back to the patient in real time through training media chosen by the patient, which is a movie, or TV show.
For example… during a BrainCore session, (see video below) when the brain waves are in the optimal range, the patient is rewarded by watching the movie with a clear, bright picture. But if your brain waves slip into an abnormal range, the screen fades to a darker, more shaded picture; this negative reinforcement notifies the patient’s brain to move toward the optimal working range.
As this feedback loop continues the patient is actually controlling the training with their brain; and by doing so, the brain is learning how to regulate itself. The more those brain waves are driven and used – the more neuroplasticity changes take hold. The patient learns how to use those brain wave patterns during the demands of everyday life. (i.e. better mood, less stress/anxiety, better cognition)
As easy as watching your favorite movie...
- Hands down, BEST decision I’ve made for the well being & the future of my daughter—academically & socially, My 8 year old is finally enjoying school because she is learning & retaining information! Brain Core truly has been life changing for our family!"

- I wholeheartedly recommend Devin and BrainCore! My daughter was struggling with anxiety as well as speech and reading difficulties. The results have been tremendous. I feel like I have my daughter back after years of struggling with her temper and meltdowns from all her school and communication frustrations. K. Lee Louisville, KY
