Understanding Symptoms and Solutions

Tackling Autism, ADHD, Insomnia, and More with Neurofeedback

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Symptoms:

  • Difficulty with communication and social interaction.

  • Restricted and repetitive behaviors or interests.

  • Sensory sensitivities.

  • Challenges with emotional regulation.

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Increased theta activity (associated with daydreaming and inattentiveness).

  • Reduced beta waves (linked to focus and alertness).

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Improves social and communication skills by enhancing beta wave activity.

  • Reduces anxiety and enhances emotional regulation by normalizing alpha-theta balance.

  • Supports better focus and decreases hyperactivity.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Symptoms:

  • Inattention, difficulty concentrating.

  • Impulsivity and hyperactivity.

  • Trouble organizing tasks and following through.

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Excess theta waves, especially in the frontal cortex (indicative of inattention).

  • Reduced beta activity, leading to poor focus and impulse control.

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Trains the brain to increase beta waves for improved focus and decision-making.

  • Reduces theta waves to enhance attention and task completion.

  • Improves overall self-regulation and reduces hyperactive behavior.

Learning Disability (Dyslexia)

Symptoms:

  • Difficulty reading, spelling, and understanding written words.

  • Slow reading speed and poor phonemic awareness.

  • Trouble with memory and processing language.

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Imbalances in alpha and beta activity, particularly in the left hemisphere.

  • Theta waves dominate when attempting reading tasks.

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Enhances processing speed and phonemic awareness by regulating alpha-beta activity.

  • Supports focus and comprehension during reading activities.

  • Strengthens neural connectivity in areas involved in language processing.

Parkinson's Disease

Symptoms:

  • Tremors, muscle rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement).

  • Difficulty with balance and posture.

  • Non-motor symptoms like depression, sleep disturbances, and cognitive decline.

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Increased beta oscillations leading to rigidity.

  • Decreased alpha waves associated with cognitive decline.

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Helps reduce tremors and improve motor control by modulating beta wave activity.

  • Supports cognitive health and emotional well-being through alpha-theta balance.

  • Improves sleep and reduces anxiety symptoms.

Dementia

[Portrait] Website Design (4)_edited.jp

An umbrella term for a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells and can result from various conditions such as vascular issues (stroke), infections, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and others. It can develop rapidly or gradually, depending on the cause.

​

Symptoms:

  • Memory loss

  • Difficulty in problem-solving

  • Changes in personality and behavior

  • Impaired reasoning and judgment

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Reduced alpha and beta activity, reflecting diminished cognitive function.

  • Elevated delta and theta waves, associated with a decline in alertness.

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Enhances cognitive abilities and memory retention.

  • Stabilizes mood and reduces anxiety or aggression.

  • Improves focus and mental clarity.

Alzheimer's Disease

The most common cause of dementia, accounts for 60–80% of dementia cases. It is a specific disease that progressively destroys brain cells. It is caused by abnormal protein deposits (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) in the brain, leading to the death of brain cells. It progresses slowly over the years, typically starting in the mid-60s or later.

 

Symptoms:

  • Early signs: Short-term memory loss, difficulty remembering recent events

  • Progressive decline: Confusion, mood swings, and language difficulties

  • Advanced stages: Difficulty in basic tasks, severe memory loss, and physical dependence.

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Reduced alpha and beta activity, reflecting diminished cognitive function.

  • Elevated delta and theta waves, associated with a decline in alertness.

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Enhances cognitive performance by increasing beta wave activity.

  • Improves memory and learning by modulating alpha-theta waves.

  • Slows progression by promoting neuroplasticity.

Insomnia

Symptoms:

  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep.

  • Daytime fatigue and irritability.

  • Trouble concentrating due to lack of rest.

​

Brainwave Patterns:

  • Elevated beta waves (hyper-arousal).

  • Reduced alpha and theta waves during relaxation.

​

Neurofeedback Benefits:

  • Teaches the brain to produce alpha and theta waves for relaxation.

  • Reduces beta wave dominance to alleviate hyper-arousal.

  • Improves sleep patterns and overall sleep quality.
