Neurofeeding of the electrical potentials that accompany any brain activity is a method based on electroencephalography that aims to teach you to selectively modify certain parameters of brain activity.

The signals are transmitted through the electrodes, computed by a special computer program and stored with minimal delay.

The method, still undergoing experimentation, aims to have a positive influence on behavior and on cognitive functions such as attention. Those who would benefit most would be children with hyperactivity syndrome and attention deficit disorder.

To master the neurofeedback, you have to exercise it. There is no protocol for controlling one's own brain currents. Each individual must discover their own strategies, according to the principle of trial and error. Many sessions are needed and even then, it is not always possible.

The interest of neurofeedback does not end in the area of ​​attention and its disorders. Currently, the method begins to obtain favorable results in people suffering from episodes of epilepsy or depression, schizophrenia, migraine, post-traumatic stress syndrome and sleep and eating disorders. There is also evidence that neurofeedback serves to stimulate the healthy brain by achieving maximum cognitive performance.
