Memory &
Cognition.

QEEG-guided neurofeedback for memory and cognition works by identifying and modifying specific brainwave patterns that are commonly associated with cognitive decline. The QEEG helps to map out areas of dysregulation in the brain, offering a clearer understanding of how the brain functions and where improvements can be targeted.

​

Common Brain Patterns Associated with Cognitive Issues:

1. Decreased Alpha Production: Cognitive performance is often associated with the brain's ability to achieve an alpha state (i.e., relaxed alertness and cognitive processing). Individuals with cognitive decline often exhibit lower alpha wave activity.

​

2. Excess Theta Production: Increased theta activity is sometimes observed in cognitive impairment, especially in the frontal lobes. Elevated theta can indicate lapses in attention and reduced working memory capacity. 

​

2. Decreased Beta Production: A decrease in beta wave activity, particularly in the frontal and parietal regions, is often linked to impairments in cognitive function and memory retrieval.

What Does the Research Say?:

 

A 2023 review found that neurofeedback led to improvements in at least one cognitive domain for patients with dementia, neurological disorders, and brain injuries.
