Center for Brain Training Information

At Center for Brain, we specialize in helping people who are struggling with brain-based issues. Our neurofeedback tools give you a chance to improve cognitive functioning, memory and even sleep habits. We encourage our clients to try different methods to see which ones work best for them, and we work closely with our clients to create a treatment protocol specific to their individual needs. Our job is to help your brain learn healthier patterns. As your brain improves, so will your memory and your cognitive functioning. These improvements will also keep your brain healthier longer. When your brain improves, your memory, ability to manage your emotions, your cognitive functioning and your attention all improve. Here are two more cases from our practice. A close family member of our director suffered from stage 5 dementia. Pauline, who was residing in an independent living retirement community, became very confused and unable to function. She eventually couldn't even remember how to get to the elevator she had taken daily. Scared for her health and well-being, Pauline's family introduced her to neurofeedback. Within a few sessions her mental confusion had virtually stopped. Her improvement directly affected her ability to remain in an independent living situation. If her family had not sought neurofeedback treatment, Pauline could not have continued to live independently. Greg, a 58-year-old man began experiencing significant difficulty retrieving common words and names of people he knew well. He was otherwise in good health. He exercised three times per week, and his energy, mood, and sleep patterns were good. His wife was alarmed and asked him to do something about his memory problem. Greg chose to try neurofeedback before trying anything else. Within three months of training, his word retrieval was back to normal. With continued training over the next six months, his word retrieval and memory recall became slightly better than it had been for years. Does Research Support Neurofeedback? Yes. There are over 40 years of research in the technology of neurofeedback and neuroregulation. Substantial, evidence-based research shows that neurofeedback promotes neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to change itself. Several fMRI brain scan studies support its beneficial use as well. As long as the brain can change itself - you can improve your brain function or work to keep it more stable. Why hasn't my doctor told me about neurofeedback? Many physicians don't include neurofeedback in their discussion about treatments for dementia or memory loss because they aren't familiar with it or don't completely understand how effective and powerful it can be.
