MEMORY LOSS MEMORY LOSS, DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A PART OF YOUR AGING PROCESS. Neurofeedback: Your drug-free mental health solution! H e starts to talk about a movie he saw recently when he realizes he can’t remember the title. She’s giving directions to her house and suddenly blanks on a familiar street name. He’s in the kitchen wondering what he went in there for. Forgetfulness is a common complaint among older adults. But there is good news. The brain is capable of producing new brain cells at any age, so significant memory loss does not have to be an inevitable result of aging. If you or someone you love struggles with MCI (mild cognitive impairment), brain mapping, diagnostic testing, and biofeedback treatments provide a powerful, drug-free solution. Memory recall, critical thinking, concentration, mental quickness, and focused attention can all be greatly improved with neurofeedback treatments once the mapping results detail the areas of the brain that have irregularities. The brain can be retrained! When brainwaves are operating too fast or too slow, specific areas of the brain (Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta) experience irregular patterns and impairment occurs. With neurofeedback, the brain is guided or trained to normalize these patterns of irregularity. The brain mapping includes an image of your brain, analyzing each of the four departments. This noninvasive scan involves recording your brainwaves with your eyes open and again with your eyes closed. Once the map is complete, the neurofeedback sessions retrain your brain, all while watching your favorite show! The audio and visual cues collected from the sensors and processed through our Clear Mind program is specific to the area of the brain with the most abnormalities. The software guides the brain to create optimal signal patterns. Remember your shopping list or that important work meeting. Retain names when you meet people, and even more importantly, prevent conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s from developing. Neurofeedback targets these four categories of brainwaves that are responsible for different body functions and retrains them: ALPHA BRAINWAVE BETA BRAINWAVE DELTA BRAINWAVE THETA BRAINWAVE RELAXED, REFLECTIVE ALERT, WORKING SLEEPY, DREAMING DROWSY, MEDITATIVE 30
