1. What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is the direct training of brain function, allowing the brain to learn to function more efficiently. By observing brain activity in real-time and providing feedback to the person, the brain is rewarded for adjusting its activity toward more appropriate patterns. This gradual learning process applies to any measurable aspect of brain function. Neurofeedback, also known as EEG Biofeedback, is based on electrical brain activity (EEG) and focuses on self-regulation, a key component of good brain function. It addresses brain dysregulation issues, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, attention deficits, sleep disorders, headaches, migraines, and conditions like seizures, autism spectrum disorders, and cerebral palsy.

2. Is Neurofeedback a Cure?
For organic brain disorders, neurofeedback aims to improve brain function rather than offer a cure. For problems related to dysregulation, self-regulation may be the remedy, but the term "cure" is not applicable.

3. What Conditions Can It Help?
Neurofeedback can help children with sleep problems like bedwetting, sleepwalking, nightmares, and teeth grinding. It is also beneficial for adolescents with issues such as drug abuse, anxiety, depression, and self-harm behavior. Additionally, it helps maintain good brain function as people age. Almost any brain can be trained to function better.

4. Do Training Effects Last?
If the problem is brain dysregulation, the training effects tend to last, as the brain continues to use its new capabilities. However, for degenerative conditions like Parkinson's or ongoing challenges like autism, training may need to continue over time. Environmental factors, allergies, and poor nutrition can also impact progress.

5. Why Are There So Few Neurofeedback Practitioners in Malaysia?
Neurofeedback is not yet taught in most medical schools or psychology programs. At New Mind Brain Health Centre, our director practices clinical neurofeedback, having trained in Singapore as a master-level practitioner. All our Neurofeedback Practitioners are trained and certified by SBCIA Master Trainer too. Neurofeedback is highly effective in addressing behavior, attention, stress, and emotional regulation. If you’re interested in becoming a neurofeedback practitioner, feel free to contact us.

6. Our Neurofeedback Approach
At New Mind, we use a neurofeedback training protocol that mirrors cutting-edge research methods to address trauma responses. This protocol focuses on alpha-desynchronization within the default-mode network to help regulate emotions and reduce trauma symptoms. A recent research conducted a 20-session, double-blind, randomized controlled trial to explore the effects of neurofeedback on individuals with PTSD. The study found significantly decreased PTSD severity scores in the experimental neurofeedback group, with improvements maintained even at the 3-month follow-up. This suggests that neurofeedback can effectively help restore abnormal brain rhythms, particularly alpha oscillations, which are linked to hyperarousal in PTSD. Read the research here.

7. What Type of Neurofeedback System Do We Use?
We use EEG Neurofeedback (Traditional Neurofeedback), a flexible and effective method with decades of success. It involves placing sensors on the scalp to monitor and train brainwave activity. EEG neurofeedback is highly effective for a wide range of conditions, though it requires skilled practitioners to achieve the best outcomes.
