What is Neurofeedback?

The term "Neurofeedback" (or "EEG Biofeedback") describes an actually very simple process: It enables clients to see and influence the electrical activity of their own brain.

Similar to many skills we have acquired in our life, the only way to improve was when we got ‘feedback’ on our performance. By making adjustments and repeating the trial and error process we were able to improve our skills continously. Right?
Exactly the same happens with Neurofeedback!

Since the late 1970ies the benefits of neurofeedback have been confirmed by thousands of successful clinical results. More than 250 studies of scientific research have been published and there are also applications to top athletes and performance artist!

Benefits of Neurofeedback

Calmer mind with less stress and more motivation

How is Neurofeedback realized?

Modern PC equipment is capable of sophisticated calculations in real time to analyze brainwaves and produce feedback signals. A separate device measures the brainwaves and transmits them to the PC where a specialized software produces neurofeedback. One well known software for that purpose is BioExplorer® for which BixDVD has been written primarily.

How does it work in BioExplorer?

BioExplorer® allows to output the feedback signal to an external software and then let this software perform the feedback action. This is done with the help of a design object called 'server'. For this reason the designs in BioExplorer have to be adapted in such a way, that the signals sent to the DVDPlayer object will also be sent to a new server object. This is accomplished with a few steps within BioExplorer. For details see here.
