What is Neurotherapy? Neurotherapy is comprised of 2 basic tenets. 1.  EEG activity reflects mental states. 2.  The EEG activity can be trained. It is a learned normalization of EEG patterns."  Barry Sterman PhD. "The evidence that EEG biofeedback can produce significant and sustained physiological changes was well documented as far back as the early 1970's" The Neurofeedback Book by Michael Thompson M.D. and Lynda Thompson Ph.D.

Starting in the early 1970's, clinicians at UCLA began using EEG biofeedback to help folks 'shape' their brainwaves through a process termed operant conditioning.  EEG biofeedback involves recording brainwave information using electrodes placed on the scalp and displaying the waves onto a computer screen.  As the client observes the activity on the screen, their brain learns to change the amplitudes of various brain wave frequencies to achieve a predefined goal.   In this manner the client learns to self-regulate.
