The method is based on operant conditioning, meaning, rewarding for a desired behavior and fixating it by repeating it. And in our case it is about receiving feedback – positive feedback, when the trainee manages to change the composition of the brain waves at a given moment. The reward in neurofeedback is given by points, watching a movie without interference or doing well in a game.
Since the method is non-invasive and unharmful, it has become one of the most common brain training methods for neurological disorders that are expressed by electrical brain activity.
Neurofeedback is not a new method, it is a known scientific based method that is around for many years. The downside of the method until now was, that to complete one brain training session, a clinic or medical facility was needed. When a patient needs to practice once a month this is not much of a problem, but when the practice becomes more intense and demanding it is difficult to perform those session with ease. This is where the innovative idea of Excellent Brain comes in.
The kits and training programs that Excellent Brain develops are based on the neurofeedback technology. Neurofeedback is a brain training method that was developed in the 70’s. The source of this method is from a research done on electrical brain activity that led to epilepsy treatment and shortly after also ADHD.
To receive rewards, a certain brain waves state must be obtained, that state is sampled by a sensor that is placed on the forehead. EEG is an electric field that is created by nerve activity in the brain. The data is transferred to the computer, which then goes through a mathematic analysis (determined by each brain wave separately). The result of the analysis is sent to the user’s screen at the form of a game or video, and the user receives a clear and positive feedback regarding the brain activity.
