“In
my experience with EEG Biofeedback and ADD, many people
are able to improve their reading skills and decrease
their need for medication. Also, EEG biofeedback has
helped to decrease impulsivity and aggressiveness. It
is a powerful tool, in part because the patient becomes
part of the treatment process by taking more control
over his own physiological processes.”

“It improves seizures, depression, low self-esteem
or congenital head injuries, and it helps the ‘craziness
that often comes with these’ … Patients report
they sleep better, feel better, they don’t have seizures,
they are more in control, and that they get more work done.
It helps with closed head injury patients. It helps with
chronic neurological disease, where there is no active injury
but there are problems with normal functioning. We’ve
had success with multiple sclerosis, with toxic encephalopathy
(for example, chemical poisoning interfering with neurologic
functioning), with chronic pain, migraines and fibromyalgia.
And, of course, we get very good results with ADD.”
- Jonathan Walker, MD, neurologist, Dallas
(Texas)
“Among the newer approaches to managing ADD, the
most exciting is a learning process called neurofeedback.
It empowers a person to shift the way he pays attention.
After more than 25 years of research in university labs,
neurofeedback has become more widely available. This is
a pleasing development, because neurofeedback has no negative
side effects.”
- William Sears, MD, The ADD Book
Frank H. Duffy, MD, a professor and pediatric neurologist
at Harvard Medical School, authored a January 2002 editorial
in the Journal of Clinical Electroencephalography
stating that research suggests that neurofeedback, or EEG
biofeedback, “should play a major therapeutic role
in many difficult areas. In my opinion, if any medication
had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would
be universally accepted and widely used.”
Neurofeedback employs a highly advanced
EEG (electro-encephalogram) technology, measuring the
electrical activity in the brain and using a state-of-the
art computer hookup that shows the brainwave activity
on the computer’s screen. Dr. Volpe’s equipment
is a system developed and patented by Margaret Ayers,
considered by many to be the leading proponent of neurofeedback
therapy. It is the most advanced and fastest technology
available on the market today, with less than 1/1000th
of a second’s delay (considered “real time”)
from the brain to the monitor display.

Neurofeedback therapy “trains” the brain. Patients
learn to recognize aberrant brain patterns and normalize them.
It is painless and non-invasive, and the results of the therapy
are permanent.
Neurofeedback has been shown to help the following conditions:
- ADD and ADHD
- Addictions
- Anxiety
- Autism
- Brain injury
- Closed-head injury
- Depression
- Dyslexia
- Epilepsy
- Migraines
- Stroke
