Neurofeedback was developed over two decades ago and is becoming increasingly available due to advances in affordable computer technology and feedback equipment. In other words, Neurofeedback is a therapy technique that presents the user with real time feedback on brainwave activities and also called EEG Biofeedback or Neurotherapy as well. It is a non-invasive treatment using equipment based on hospital technology to monitor brainwaves.

However, Neurofeedback are promising for those individuals demonstrating certain Quantitative EEG and behavioral characteristics but it can be utilize for Mental Retardation Childhood Psychosis, Severe depressive or bipolar illness, Significant seizure disorder where medications interfere with learning (i.e., sedating medications), Hyperkinesis, where multiple medications or high dosages with monotherapy have been ineffective etc.

Neurofeedback is also called biofeedback therapy and it involves training your brainwave activity as a way of improving and controlling many different conditions. It can be the option that helps you to improve Mild hyperactivity, Impulsiveness, Attention, focus and concentration including your task completion and organizational skills. 

Neurofeedback is ultimately a system that allows users to train their brain to work with a normalized brain wave pattern. Initially it was used in the treatment of seizures, but since it has been shown in research it is an effective treatment for ADHD, addictions, learning disability, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder along with sleep disorders. This therapy is also being used increasingly to facilitate peak performance in normal individual and athletes as well.

Basically, There in Neurofeedback have two kinds of therapy. It has been able to facilitate greater control of seizures in 82% of patients, often reducing the level of medication required. It is believed that this therapy offers a valuable additional therapy to assist in rehabilitation. 

Furthermore, this therapy is tailored to selectively reinforce the brain for producing brainwaves you want to increase and to not-reinforce the brain for producing brainwaves that you want the brain to make less of. So those who are facing different kinds of brain disorders like autism, attachment disorder, autoimmune dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, cognitive decline in the elderly, conduct disorder, eating disorder, migraine, obsessive-compulsive disorder along with Tourette’s, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson’s disease don’t have to worry as they can rely on Neurofeedback therapy to be free from all the disorders as much as possible. As with this therapy results are always be guaranteed.

What are Isochronic Tones?

Relax and visualise your desires with isochronic tones recordings, and tune your mind to achieve all your goals for the New Year. Whether you desire to beat an addiction, change a habit, be more successful in career, love life, or abundance creation, Isochronic tones will help get you there so much faster.

Isochronic tones are produced by using a single spaced beat which is manually controlled to get the desired frequency. It is a fairly new entrant to the field of brainwave entrainment yet it is overtaking binaural beats as the preferred tool for influencing brainwave frequencies. Isochronic beats is known to be particularly efficient when used together with visual stimuli or in lieu of it.

The theory of Brainwave Entrainment

The theory of using isochronic beats for brainwave entrainment is very simple; the varying frequencies of these isochronic tones are used to impact the release of specific brain chemicals or neurotransmitters which in turn lead to the desired behavioral effects. Usually a single frequency is used through out the tone. When subjected to a consistent frequency for a certain period time, the brain wave frequency synchronizes with the tone due to a principle known as frequency following response.

This trait of the brain can be used to control and produce different emotional and physical states. Certain frequencies are known to stimulate the secretion of important neurotransmitters such as serotonin and endorphins which can have a relaxing and highly beneficial impact on the human body.

Different frequencies are incorporated to achieve varying results; for instance the lower frequencies termed as alpha and theta are used to induce sleep and relaxation. On the other hand, the higher frequencies do the exact opposite by stimulating the endocrine and adrenal glands. So these frequencies can be used to achieve various results such as lowering depression, increasing concentration, augmenting problem solving ability, pain management etc.

Isochronic Tones vs. Binaural Beats

One of the primary advantages of using isochronic tones instead of binaural beats for brainwave entrainment is the fact that these beats can be used without the use of headphones; however it is imperative that the tones be heard at the correct volume to maintain their efficacy. You can also use a standard music system to listen to isochronic beats however ensure that the volume is loud enough to block out other noises in the background yet it should not cause you a headache. My preference is still to use headphones to filter out external interference for maximum benefit.

There are also other benefits to using isochronic tones over binaural beats; apart from the ease of usage, isocnhronic tones are easier to compose than binaural beats. Also, since binaural beats comprise of two separate tones which are played in each ear they fail to target both the hemispheres of the brain. But when you use isochronic beats, you are providing the same stimuli to both ears which means that these tones can work individually on each ear affecting both the hemispheres simultaneously.

When the effects of the two stimuli: binaural beats and isochronic tones were compared through an EEG it was found that the isochronic tones can penetrate the brain deeper than the binaural beats, so when you use the former the effect on the emotional or physical state of being is heightened.

How to listen to Isochronic Tones?

Sometimes certain tones are composed at a low volume so you may have to crank up the music system to make them audible, not listening to the beats at the proper volume may also mar their effect. Normally, it is recommended that you use headphones to listen to active isochronic tones but if you want to hear the background tones you can very well use a standard music system.

Isochronic tones are being successfully employed to boost motivation, help in building better relationships, improve confidence, reduce stress, induce better sleep, improve health and memory, greatly assist meditative practices, enhance psychic and spiritual health and awareness, and dissolve mental and emotional blocks.

Isochronic tones, used to their optimum effect represent a real opportunity to improve our quality of life in so many ways, and even the skeptics amongst us are finding a fast and easy route to improved performance, confidence and general life enhancement.
