NEUROFEEDBACK
Neurofeedback is a technique designed to teach people how to control their brain waves to achieve cognitive and emotional self regulation. Slower brain waves generally indicate mental drifting and faster brain waves are associated with concentration and focus. Individuals are trained through neurofeedback sessions to increase their fast brain waves, while simultaneously reducing their amount of slow brain wave activity.
This improves attention, increases alertness, reduces anxiety and helps to maintain emotional stability and on-task behaviors.
Biofeedback training results in self regulation of muscle tension, respiration, pulse, peripheral temperature and skin conduction and leads to the attainment of a relaxed, yet alert and calm, mind/body state.
A combined approach is usually indicated for the following client types:
- Gifted, but underachieving
- Attention, concentration or memory difficulties
- Chronic tension, anxiety or stress
- Peak performers seeking optimal mind/body states
INTERACTIVE METRONOME®
The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a sensorimotor program that uses headphones, together with hand
and foot sensors, to coordinate responses to computer-generated musical beats. Training improves
the individual's sense of timing, motor planning, sequencing, focus, concentration and coordination.
It improves academic, executive, artistic and sporting performance in both children and adults.
IM is indicated for these client types:
- Executive functioning
- Concentration and memory
- Mental acuity and higher order thinking skills
- Athletic and sporting performance
- Musical and performing artists
- Balance, movement and motor planning
- Hand-eye coordination
- Language and communication skills
POSIT SCIENCE BRAIN FITNESS PROGRAM
Mindfull Connections is an approved provider for the "Posit Science Brain Fitness Program". Posit Science utilizes a series of 40 brain game sessions that progressively increase memory, especially in the area of visual and auditory memory.
With the natural aging process and the impact of stress hormones on our increasingly stressful lifestyles, our memory can be negatively impacted. Posit Science provides cutting edge computer programs to get your memory back into shape.
Published results indicate improved memory by 10+ years and increased neurological processing speed. Posit Science draws from decades of research from over 50 contributing scientists. The system is undergoing rigorous study through several grants awarded to Posit Science by the National Institutes of Health.
Programs are designed to:
- Reteach your brain to process information at high speeds
- Improve clarity of memory by more precise sound processing
- Stimulate the brain to remember information accurately and sequentially
- Exercise short term/working memory to improve cognition
NEURO-PROGRAMMER II®
The subconscious mind controls how we react to the world. Desires, fears and habits all come from associations contained in our subconscious mind. The result is often fears, emotional over-reactions and limiting beliefs that block our progress.
The Neuro-Programmer II targets specific brainwave patterns, proven to make the mind most receptive to psychological change, much like a technician would program a computer. Over 125 brain-wave simulating Audio/Visual Sessions are available for physical and mental performance, studying, creativity, relaxation and stress reduction to name but a few.
