Neurofeedback for Personal Development

 

Neurofeedback uses EEG brainwaves for personal development and growth.

iCap Neurofeedback Personal Development System 


iCAP Release Meter -the World's First Neurofeedback Personal Development System!

The iCAP Release Meter System is a highly advanced, yet easy-to-use personal technology for eliminating fear, worry, panic and anxiety. It comes with the Release Technique course (Abundance Course) built into it in a simple-to-use, click-and-go format. Thanks to the innovative "genius" of the inventors over at iCAP Technologies, we now CAN verify that our subconscious mind is clear of reactive thoughts, beliefs and hang-ups that would otherwise keep us from reaching our goals! Now, there is a way to not only ELIMINATE subconscious resistance, but also to VERIFY that it has been eliminated!

The iCAP Release Meter was developed by a team of researchers trained at M.I.T. and Stanford Universities. It is a highly advanced, patented technology that reads 3 specific and precise brainwave frequencies (out of thousands) from the right prefrontal cortex of your brain and measures these frequencies through a complex algorithm that determines precisely how "released" you are.

The iCap Neurofeedback meter is lightweight and portable so you're free to move about! As you wear the headband with its "snap-in" gold-plated electrode, your brainwaves are transmitted wirelessly from a tiny "transmitter module" in the headband to a "USB base station" plugged into your laptop or desktop computer. The iCap is the FIRST neurofeedback device that is truly practical for HOME USE and it is WIRELESS! So you can measure your brainwaves anywhere! You can take it with you anywhere - even on an airplane!

iCap measures your brainwave activity and it is processed and recorded instantly by the software (Windows and Mac Versions included), revealing precisely how reactive or calm you are when you think about a particular issue or goal. You break through your most difficult blocks effortlessly smf let go of EVERYTHING in the way to achieving the necessary state of mind for reaching your goals! Find out more by visiting this link!

Neurofeedback on Wikipedia 

Neurofeedback (NFB), also called neurotherapy, neurobiofeedback or EEG biofeedback (EEGBF) is a therapy technique that presents the user with realtime feedback on brainwave activity, as measured by sensors on the scalp, typically in the form of a video display, sound or vibration. The aim is to provide real-time information to the Central Nervous System (CNS) as to its current activity. Some approaches believe that conscious understanding and mediation of that information is important for the training process; however, this claim has never actually been verified. Those approaches also believe that neurofeedback training can be understood as being based on a form of operant and/or classical conditioning. In that frame of reference, when brain activity changes in the direction desired by the trainer directing the training, a positive "reward" feedback is given to the individual, and if the change is in the opposite direct from what was intended, then either different feedback is given or the provision of otherwise attained "positive" feedback is inhibited (or blocked). These ideas can be applied in various combinations depending on the protocol decided upon by the trainer. Rewards/Reinforcements can be as simple as a change in pitch of a tone or as complex as a certain type of movement of a character in a video game. This experience could be called operant conditioning for internal states even though no research has yet demonstrated that clear operant response curves occur under those scenarios.

Nonetheless,a number of different brainwave goals have been proposed by different researchers in the field following on these general ideas. Usually, these goals are based upon extrapolations from research describing abnormal EEG patterns or on results from a quantitative EEG (QEEG - also known as brain mapping) upon the particular client being offered neurofeedback training. A popular goal is the increase of activity in the 12?18 Hz band (mu rhythm/ sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)) and a decrease in the 4?8 Hz and/or 22?28 Hz bands (theta and/or beta). The most common and well-documented use of neurofeedback is in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: multiple studies have shown neurofeedback to be useful in the treatment of ADHD [http://www.aapb.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3330] (Butnik 2005) (Masterpasqual et al 2003). QEEG has been ambivalent with some studies showing that some forms of ADHD can be characterized by an abundance of slow brainwaves and a diminished quantity of fast wave activity (Butnik 2005); however, alternative patterns have also been described making the overall picture inconclusive at this time. Some approaches believe that neurofeedback training is best done with it seeks to teach individuals to produce more normalized EEG patterns that optimize their functioning.

Some ADHD researchers are unconvinced by these studies, including the psychiatry professor and author of several books on ADHD, Russell Barkley. Barkely opines that neurotherapy's effectiveness in treating ADHD can be ascribed to either uncontrolled case studies or the placebo effect [http://addadhdadvances.com/neurofeedback.html]. In return, neurofeedback advocates note that Barkely has received research funds and personal remuneration from drug giant Eli Lilly and Company and other drug companies [http://www.playattention.com/attention-deficit/articles/adhd-study-faster-diagnosis-urged/] [http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/05/10/10.php] [http://www.russellbarkley.org/about-dr-barkley.htm].

Other areas where neurofeedback has been researched include treatment of substance abuse, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, OCD, learning disabilities, Bipolar Disorder, Conduct Disorder, anger and rage, cognitive impairment, migraines, headaches, chronic pain, autism spectrum disorders, sleep dysregulation, PTSD and MTBI.

Other approaches to understanding and providing neurofeedback training use non-linear dynamical control processes and joint time-frequency analyses to characterize the ongoing dynamics of EEG during the training process itself. These approaches understand the functioning of the CNS in a more integrated or comprehensive fashion, including the structural ideas of the Russian neuropsychologist Luria and neuropsychiatrist Karl Pribram.

Related technologies include hemoencephalography biofeedback (HEG).
