On this episode of HealthMade Radio, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt interviews Dr. Jon Harmon of Clear Mind Idaho about Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback allows an individual to reshape the networks in the brain with long-term results and none of the side effects of Pharmacological treatment. In this episode, learn:

Neurofeedback Neuro-Therapy

Dr Harmon discusses how in Neurofeedback the brain waves are monitored in real-time by a computer, which can then use that information to produce changes in brainwave activity. The process of adjusting brainwave activity is known as operant conditioning, a method where rewards for positive behavior increase learning capabilities. In addition, brain science has shown that repetitive exercise of brain networks reshapes the brain. 

Neurofeedback Versus Stimulant Medication   

Pharmacological treatment with methylphenidate, amphetamine, and atomoxetine is the most commonly provided treatment for ADHD to date, its disadvantages and limitations include side effects, reservations against medication and the control of symptoms but not addressing the source of the problem.

Training the brain using Neurofeedback can change brainwaves over time, adjusting them into normal, healthy ranges. It can improve alertness, attention, emotional regulation, behavior, cognitive function, and mental flexibility. When the brain moves back into normal ranges, users will often see a reduction in symptoms.  

“Neurofeedback develops the long term learning process, similar to learning to swim or ride a bike. The brain’s patterns of activity are improved sustainably. According to detailed MRI studies, brain structures continue to regrow for up to a year after training.” – Dr. John Harmon.
