Therapies
Neuromodulation
tDCS/tACS/tRNS-Neuromodulation/Neurostimulation adds a clinical edge to talk therapy and is rapidly becoming a state-of-the-art treatment for mental health.
It is the process of inhibition, stimulation, modification, regulation or therapeutic alteration of activity, electrically in the central, peripheral or autonomic nervous systems.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback refers to training the brain to rewire itself. It uses real-time recording of brain wave activity. The equipment is called an electroencephalogram (EEG). The EEG provides the user with information about his/her brain activity teaching self-regulation of his/her neural activity. If any of these brainwaves are in disproportion, either over-active or under-active, it will lead to any number of neurological disorders, depending on which region of the brain is affected.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a treatment technique in which people are trained to self-regulate their physiologies by using feedback from their own bodies. Some tools used at the Brain Health Centre include:
-
Heart Rate Varibility training (HRV)
-
Electrodermal response
-
Temperature training
-
Breathing
-
Muscle relaxation
