Brain plasticity is the capacity of the brain to change. Learning, forming new memories and new experiences can change the brain because of the brain's plasticity. Neurofeedback is a learning process for brain too. The brain will be trained to behave in a new and better way to enhance it's function and outcome.
Depending on the protocol one or more leads will be attached to your head by a paste to read the signal from your brain. The paste can be easily washed off.
It’s a very easy process as long as you can sit still and listen or watch a programme while your brain is being trained based on the protocols. The only important thing is to minimise the muscle movements so it will not interfere with the brainwaves.
Before starting Neurofeedback training we can map your brain. These maps include a lot of information that are useful to set up and decide about the training protocols. So the protocols can match your needs and are unique to you. There are variety of techniques and approaches which could be considered as well.
These maps are useful to keep track of your progress and changes as well but they are not essential.
