Cognitive Neuro Sciences
About Cognitive Neuro Sciences
Cognitive Neuro Sciences is a leading edge practice that addresses a variety of common problems with normal functioning without drugs or medications. The problems we treat have in common that they are caused by disregulations of the brain. These include epilepsy, attentional disorders (AD/HD), migraines, traumatic brain injury, stroke, fibromyalgia, depression, mood disorders, hyperactivity, explosiveness, anger, and learning problems.
Our interventions are based on re-training the brain to function normally. When this is successfully achieved, the problems disappear. Our treatment modalities , which include Neurofeedback (including LENS and Z-Score training), transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), biofeedback, photonic light stimulation, and others may be combined with psychotherapy, mental health counseling and other rehabilitation strategies as each case requires. We are a group that includes clinical psychologists, mental health and rehabilitation professionals, and provides services in all these areas.
Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback, involves training individuals to change the way their brain functions by allowing them to control their electroencephalogram (EEG), or brain waves. Based on solid scientific research from the fields of neurophysiology, psychology, learning and medicine, this technique is changing the way many brain dysfunctions are treated.
The EEG is converted to images and sounds that are presented in a video display to the client. When the client responds appropriately, the brain waves associated with the client's condition change to the EEG levels of typical individuals. After a number of training sessions, the change becomes permanent.
Changes achieved through Neurofeedback are permanent and in most cases done without the aid of drugs or medications. For those seeking treatments to many of the ailments or disorders we treat, neurofeedback has been a highly successful alternative to drugs. Medications treat symptoms; neurofeedback can address and correct the underlying problem, and thus achieve long lasting results without the side effects associated with prescription drugs.
Neurofeedback can be used to improve the performance of those who simply want to achieve more from their brains and bodies. Such "Brain Function Training" can help high functioning individuals and professional athletes achieve greater clarity of focus, enhanced memory and problem solving, poised coordination, meticulous timing, and optimal performance.
We are members of The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), The International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR), The Society for the Advancement of Brain Analysis (SABA), and other professional organizations. We are certified by the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America. We have received advanced training and certification in Neurofeedback from many of the pioneers of the field, including Dr. M. Barry Sterman, who developed this important therapy.
