Explained below is a step by step process of a session of EEG-driven Biofeedback session using EDS.

Screen Shot1. EDS screen shot: the low frequencies are seen on the left in the graph, and the high frequencies are on the right. The low frequencies, when prominent and elevated, indicate disruptive functioning.

The high frequencies are responsible for productive attention, concentration, and memory. Trends during the session are visible as the graph fills from the rear and moves toward the front.

Session2. The white cotton ball on the side of the person's head covers one of the electrodes attached to the person's scalp. The other electrode is attached to her left ear lobe. The scalp electrical activity is brought to a computer, analyzed, and fed back to her though the lights in the glasses.

3. The client with the glasses on during a session. Her eyes are closed. She does not have to pay attention to the light. She can daydream, plan, or be distracted. She does not have to learn anything or even pay attention. 

Session 3What she does have to do is to let the therapist know if she is uncomfortable, which leads to an adjustment of the light brightness.

The lights, even with the eyes closed, have a colorful, kaleidoscopic quality and are enjoyable to watch. The colors and patterns are everchanging as the person's brain waves (which control the lights) change.

Session 44. Once the session is over it is reviewed for signs that the brain functioning has been changed during the session. The progress during the session is compared with trends across other sessions to document and provide a context for understanding the overall change in functioning. The sturdiness of the changes can also be assessed, along with an estimate of how many more sessions may be needed to accomplish the desired functioning goals.

Carolyn Robertson is a certified Neurotherapist. She is not a licensed physician. EEG-Neurofeedback services are not licensed by the State of California and are considered alternative or complementary to healing arts services that are licensed by the State of California. EEG-Neurofeedback services involve learning to change your own behavior utilizing feedback to modify your brain wave patterns. That feedback is provided by equipment that monitors and shows brain wave activity. The theory of treatment of EEG-Neurofeedback services is based on 40 years of research conducted in university settings across the country and outside the United States. EEG-Neurofeedback is a combination of operant conditioning and biofeedback. Further explanation can be found on this website.
