Neurofeedback
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a specialized therapy that uses cutting-edge brain wave technology to engage your brain in a journey that is enjoyable and empowering. It enables you to participate in your brain’s healing process and helps you improve and regulate your brain function. Neurofeedback is brain training and it draws upon neuroplasticity; your brain’s innate ability to change and optimize. Using highly specialized non-invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) equipment, Neurofeedback takes advantage of principles of operant conditioning (a reward-based system) to heal, train and maximize the brain’s optimal potential. In a way, neurofeedback is brain therapy (or brain training) and once your brain’s pathways have reached their potential in terms of efficiency, you may choose to complement it with our counselling services (also referred to as psychotherapy or mind/emotion therapy). People often ask questions like: “Do I have ADHD?” or “Am I depressed?” or “How do I get rid of my depression or anxiety?” or “What can I do to have a better marriage, do better in school or do my job better?” Whether it is through our neurofeedback, life coaching, or counselling services, we want to help you overcome your negative feelings, but, to also find hope, healing, and happiness in a direction of life that you choose. At Elumind our goal is to help you get a calm, flexible and resilient brain that keeps you healthy both in mind and body.

Neurofeedback works on the premise of operant conditioning. In a nutshell, Neurofeedback is similar to an EEG where the electrical activity (brain waves) of the brain is monitored by placing electrodes on the scalp. We do the same except we take it one step further. Instead of just looking for pathology, we use the information obtained from the electrodes and we feed it back to your brain via visual and auditory sources (through either watching a movie, or watching guided imagery).
Based on this feedback (reinforcement), your brain will decide whether to stay on the current path or, will change its path (self-regulate) moving toward optimizing its function and thus creating a happier and more focused you!
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that is completely safe with no known side effects.
Neurofeedback as an interactive brain optimization solution has been used by athletes to enhance performance, but can also be effectively used for executives who want to improve mental efficiency and clarity, as well as for individuals that wish to improve their cognitive functions or treat their mental health conditions.
At Elumind, we offer three types of Neurofeedback: Infra-low Frequency (ILF) Neurofeedback, LORETA (Low-Resolution Electromagnetic tomography) Neurofeedback, and SKIL-based Neurofeedback. First, we assess you clinically (A full 1 hour assessment) to gain an understanding of your goals of treatment. Then, we create a map of 55 different brain areas (QEEG or a Quantitative Electroencephalogram) and finally we design a customized protocol using our Neurofeedback technologies.
Recognizing the uniqueness of your brain, this customized protocol will address your individual needs in brain training.
