Neurofeedback Autism Singapore
Electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, is a promising alternative treatment for patients with Autism . EEG biofeedback therapy rewards scalp EEG frequencies that are associated with relaxed attention, and suppresses frequencies associated with under- or over-arousal
These conditions seem to be symptoms of brain disregulation that neurofeedback addresses directly. Neurotherapists often conceptualize Autism as the result of too much slow brainwave activity, particularly in the central temporal and frontal lobes. Training the brain, and especially the frontal lobes, to be "stronger" at a more normal rate of activity will tend to reduce problems with concentration and focus. In some cases learning disabilities also benefit from neurofeedback that includes work at the location in the brain associated with the impaired area (reading, speech, etc.)
