- Dr. Philipp Heiler explains about the fundamentals of neuorfeedback and expands on the use of Myndlift for remote neurotherapy.
The brain is responsible for our moods, thoughts, and cognitive abilities. Brain activity is measured in electrical pulses, which can tell us a lot about how it's working.
When brain activity is measured in real time, the brain can learn to regulate itself and function better.
To measure the brain's electrical activity, EEG electrodes are placed on the scalp.
These electrodes measure the voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. They can detect if your brainwaves are firing at optimal speeds.
As a result of these real-time measurements, different patterns of brainwaves can be seen, which can inform us about the mental state of the person.
For example, alpha waves (8-12 Hz) usually signify a relaxed state and will increase when you close your eyes and take deep breaths, and decrease when you open your eyes or with mental exertion.
Seeing brainwave activity in real time can help the brain learn to regulate itself better.
In neurofeedback, the user is given a reward through visual/auditory stimuli based on the changes in the mental state, measured by EEG.
For example, if training for relaxation, then whenever the mind is relaxed (i.e., alpha brainwaves intensify), a rewarding nature sound emerges, and when the mind loses that state, the rewarding sound disappears, thus notifying the mind in real-time that it needs to regain that state again.
This is based on classical conditioning, and with continued training, the mind can learn to naturally shift to the desired state.
Research and clinical use have shown neurofeedback to be effective with ADHD, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and more.
These conditions often have a neurological cause: the person's brain isn't functioning as well as it should. Neurofeedback treats these conditions by targeting different brainwaves and training the brain to change these patterns over time.
Neurofeedback has been used in clinics for over 30 years, however, the way it was administered didn't change much, and that's why Myndlift was created.
The EEG electrodes, amplifier, and out-dated software were replaced with a wearable device and an app that anyone can use to train from home, while a professional clinician supervises the process.
The result is the most convenient, reliable home neurofeedback system - Myndlift!
Hello, with myndlift. Do you train 1 protocol for how many sessions? Or you change between sessions you change the protocol?. The problem with MYndlift is that, only one protocol can allow.
How to create a mini-mapping with myndlift?
My husband had a stroke and left him not able to speak or write. We are in Texas USA - how do we work with you in Germany?
Hi Kathy I am a therapist in Colorado , I am sorry to hear about your husband , did you find a therapist in Texas that do NF?
Hi. Kathy. There is a doctor in New York who is providing QEEG brain mapping and Myndlift therapy to patients.
I don’t know if I am in the right place to ask questions. My husband had a stroke and cannot speak or write - how can we work with you in Texas USA?
U r in the wrong place and go seek a licensed doctor in Alternative Medicine
Nice I am very interested
It's amazing been doing now for about 3 months , life changing
It is beyond beleif that, after watching this video, anyone would agree to undergo this "training", OR that this has continued to be allowed to be used on people. You guys dont even have a database for practitioners of this ridiculous program to reference when treating patients. You said to Google it? Okay.....
Then -specifically at --1:14:46- when answering someones question regarding long term risks associated with this program, the answer was (given with finger quotes) Technically, you could screw up someones brain, but.....
Im having trouble wraping my head around the fact that this is legal to do to people!
