Title: Neurofeedback Clinic
Abstract:
Due to improved scientific understanding about how brain functions continually change throughout our lifetime, we better understand how we can change our brain through the use of neurofeedback. We now know that we can improve many conditions that have prevented children and adults from living their best life. Neurofeedback, also known as cognitive rehabilitation or EEG biofeedback, is a ground-breaking technique that challenges the brain to function better. This powerful brain-based technique has been successfully helping clients for more than 40 years. It is a noninvasive process with significant results for a multitude of symptoms. The effectiveness of neurofeedback for adults and children with a wide variety of symptoms has been repeatedly concluded in numerous research studies.
The CSUSB Neurofeedback clinic has been operational for more than 9 years with locations at the Main campus, the PDC campus and in an elementary school in Big Bear. Neurofeedback works by training the brain to function at its maximum potential, which is similar to the way the body is exercised, toned and maintained. The technology is safe and effective for children and adults ages 5 to 95.
