Welcome to East Coast Neurofeedback Services, LLC

​​​​ Neurofeedback can treat a variety of issues. Such as mental health issues, psychiatric disorders, behavior issues and developmental delays. Neurofeedback adds a clinical edge to traditional therapies and is becoming more recognized and utilized for mental health issues.  Its foundations originated in neuroscience as well as data based clinical practices. Neurofeedback involves no negative side affects such as medication based treatments. Research has demonstrated that neurofeedback has been successfully used to treat a myriad of issues including but not limited to: headaches, sleep issues, anxiety, ADHD, autism, substance abuse, pain disorders, menstruation issues, memory issues, early dementia  and TBI's. Our goal is to help you understand your brain better and to help you achieve your best self.

Our neurofeedback equipment is Infraslow EEG software. Which is a special device that provides instant feedback when a desired mental state is achieved during training. This EEG neurofeedback is a comprehensive system that works directly with the brain. We all have countless numbers of neurons in the cerebrum. Brain waves are associated with electrical activation and deactivation of pyramidal neurons which cycle up and down, over and over. The feedback is given at precisely the time when the cycle of the brain waves moves into a desireable pattern.  During training sensors are placed on the scalp (no current is imputed through these sensors) in various locations targeting specific areas of the brain that are associated with chief symptoms. The sensors are connected to sensitive electronics and computer software that read, amplify and record brain activity waves. The feedback that is given is instantaneously in the form of auditory tones indicating whether the trainee's brain activity is within a designated range. Since the feedback is happening instantaneously your brain will repeat that pattern that produces the reward (tones) if the brain repeats it enough it learns the pattern and the changes to the brain become long lasting. After several sessions the brain cooperates with the reinforcement (sessions). Gradually most clients learn to pay attention for longer periods of time and have a heightened awareness of mental drifting. This method of neurofeedback changes the brains patterns and are associated with positive changes emotionally, physically and cognitively.

 ISF training : Bipolar: In ISF bipolar training, the ‘frequency’ is reinforced differently from traditional neurofeedback. Training of the ISF band is done by providing feedback as a mirror of the ISF wave form. It is likened to a room full of tuning forks concurrently starting to vibrate when one tuning fork is struck. Equivalently, the nervous system (then the ANS is affected) attempts to harmonize with the movement of the ISF range reflected in the audible tone the client hears from the speakers. By training that ‘organizing rhythm’ we support the client in regulating their autonomic responses through the ANS which produce the physiological changes associated with ISF training.

Neurofeedback is often called EEG biofeedback, also known as brain wave training. Which is a type of biofeedback in which individuals are trained to improve their brain functioning. Neurofeedback has been practiced for over four decades. With hundreds of thousands of individuals and families benefiting from this established, effective, powerful and proven intervention for various mental health and neurological conditions. Neurofeedback training is different from other types of biofeedback as its main purpose is to affect the central nervous system and the brain.  

Why is Bipolar Infraslow Neurofeedback Different Than Other Neurofeedback?
The distinctive impact of ISF neurofeedback resides in training of the -“ISF band”- which is below 1 Hertz. This is where physiological changes and regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) occur. Because those are the functions that are coordinated by that (ISF) band. ISF is considered an organizing rhythm that promotes fluid and timely brain function. Through this signal training we help clients in their ability to globally regulate their systems.

This training below 1 hertz of the very low frequencies was originally overlooked by early researchers and clinicians as they designated it as ‘noise.’ However as interest in these frequencies grew, progress was slow because special equipment was necessary to render these low frequencies effectively was not available and needed to be created.
