EEG BIOFEEDBACK (also called NEUROFEEDBACK)— This is a technique in which people learn (by means of real-time computer feedback) how to produce more of the brainwaves associated with desired behaviors, such as concentration, attentional focus, relaxation, cooperative behavior, and reduction in irritability, anger, pain, and sleep disturbance. Using operant conditioning, clients monitor their brainwave activity and restore and regulate arousal levels and central nervous system functioning.
