Since 1981, The Austin Biofeedback and EEG Neurofeedback Center has trained tens of thousands of children, teens, and adults to achieve optimal attention and focus. We can help you too.
We design our training protocols in-house using our experience with Q-EEG and our many different kinds of neurofeedback systems to provide a custom plan that is a good fit for you and your goals.
ADHD and Optimal Focus
Training for ADHD and Executive Function Using Q-EEG Guided Neurofeedback
ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is characterized by difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Neurofeedback addresses these symptoms by targeting dysregulated brainwave patterns that are commonly seen in individuals with ADHD.
For Children with ADHD:
-
Improved Focus and Attention: Neurofeedback helps children increase the production of brainwaves associated with focused attention, reducing distractibility and improving academic performance.
-
Reduced Hyperactivity and Impulsivity: Training the brain to modulate arousal levels can significantly reduce hyperactive behaviors, helping children stay calm and controlled.
-
Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Neurofeedback fosters better control over emotional responses, leading to fewer outbursts and improved social interactions.
For Adults with ADHD:
-
Better Time Management: Neurofeedback can help adults with ADHD improve their executive functioning skills, leading to better time management and organizational abilities.
-
Increased Productivity: By enhancing focus and reducing mental fatigue, neurofeedback can help adults accomplish tasks more efficiently.
-
Improved Relationships: Better impulse control and emotional regulation contribute to healthier personal and professional relationships.
The Science Behind Neurofeedback for ADHD and Optimal Focus
Neurofeedback is grounded in neuroscience and supported by a growing body of research. Studies have shown that individuals with ADHD often have atypical brainwave patterns, such as an excess of slow-wave (theta) activity and a deficit in fast-wave (beta) activity, or issues with specific network connectivity within the parts of the brain responsible for executive functions, including the ability to stay focused without being distracted, and impulsivity.
Neurofeedback works by:
-
Modulating Brainwave Activity: Targeting specific brainwaves and network connectivity helps normalize the brain's activity, which can reduce core symptoms of ADHD and impulsivity.
-
Promoting Neuroplasticity: By reinforcing desired brainwave patterns, neurofeedback encourages the brain to form new, more efficient neural connections and improved flexibility.
-
Supporting Long-Term Change: Unlike medication, which may only provide temporary symptom relief, neurofeedback aims to create lasting improvements by training the brain to function optimally on its own.
