Neurofeedback in the living room.
EEG Resource Institute develops Tele-Neurofeedback
In the United States neurofeedback has been a popular treatment method in mental health care for years. In the Netherlands EEG Resource Company, in co-operation with Radboud University Nijmegen has developed tele-neurofeedback: neurofeedback via the internet. In this way, Neurofeedback becomes accessible to a wide public.
No Medicatione
Neurofeedback - also known as EEG biofeedback - restores a deviation in brain activity via training and without medication. Neurofeedback has a positive effect on syndromes such as burnout, epilepsy, depression, ADHD, ADD, migraine and whiplash. Neurofeedback is a treatment method in which medication like Ritalin, Concerta or antidepressives such as Seroxat en Prozac is unnecessary. By focused neurofeedback (feedback of the EEG signal) of sound and vision the client learns to change his brain activity into the desired direction. Neurofeedback has been present since the sixties. However, recently -also due to modern technological innovations - it is applied more often in health care. EEG resource Institute has been concerned with innovative techniques in health care for years. EEG Resource Institute opens neurofeedback to a wide public.
Tele-neurofeedback
Recently, EEG Resource Institute has started the the service of tele-neurofeedback therapy. A client is treated at home via the internet and the therapist monitors the brain activity real time. Then, the brain is retrained directly by means of neurofeedback. The advantage of this method is that therapy can be offered very cost-effectively. Besides, the client is not bound to visiting the scarce neurofeedback practices in the Netherlands. This saves on travel time and expenses. EEG Resource Institute is the first enterprise in the world that has offered this supervised neurofeedback treatment method to its clients. This real-time supervision constitutes an immense progress from hometraining in which the therapists sees the data after the training has finished. Now you can enjoy expert counseling at home.
Forerunner
EEG Resource Institute is part of an international network. The Nijmegen branch is a forerunner concerning the development of tele-neurofeedback. The services of EEG Resource Institute will be further developed in co-operation with the Radboud University Nijmegen, Brainquiry BV and a number of regionally operating affiliated neurofeedback practices. EEG Resource Institute is delighted to show the method to you. For more information, please conctact one of the affiliated neurofeedbackpractices.
