What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback (also known as Neurotherapy and EEG biofeedback) has been used by medical professionals for over 50 years to help a wide range of disorders. Neurofeedback, meaning ‘brain’ and ‘input,’ specifically monitors and measures brain wave activity to identify irregularities. Once identified, the computer monitors the abnormal brain waves and rewards the individual when the abnormal brain waves improve, training/guiding the brain waves back into a healthy pattern. With repetition of this process over time, the brain will learn to stay in healthy ranges without the aid of the computer.
The result is an improvement in brain regulation, which in turn can reduce or eliminate symptoms. Unlike many other treatments that address the symptoms of disorders, neurofeedback therapy trains brainwaves to alter the structure and function of the brain. Many patients report permanent positive changes to their behavior months and years after ending the therapy.

What is the process?
1. Run A Brain Map
The first step is to record an image of the brain using a qEEG. This non-invasive process involves recording your brainwaves for 2 minutes with your eyes open and 2 more minutes with your eyes closed.
2. Analyze Results
Your brain recording is uploaded to a database and compared to similar individuals with healthy brain activity. Cognitive and emotional issues are identified, as well as irregular brainwave patterns. Customized training protocols are created to show the areas of the brain to train into healthy patterns.
3. Neurofeedback Sessions
Training sessions are usually 30 minutes and pleasant. You watch a movie or listen to the music of your choice while wearing photic light glasses. Brainwaves are monitored, and using operant conditioning, the stimuli are adjusted to help guide them back into healthy patterns.
4. Nutrition
We offer a customized nutritional program to accompany neurofeedback treatments that optimizes brain health and function.
Testimonials
“No where near as overwhelmed as before having sessions here! Not as anxious about things that come up at the last minute I can’t control & the best part? You can watch a new cool show or a nostalgic one while you’re improving your brain function! 😁”
“I can’t properly express the difference that neurofeedback sessions at MyBrainDR in Cary have made in our household. We were skeptical about the results we would get, but decided to give the treatment a try after it was recommended by one of our doctors. Wow! Every few sessions now, we are noticing quantifiable improvements in mood and behavior. From the initial consultation to our regular appointments, everyone in the office has been professional, informative and compassionate. Questions are answered thoroughly and in a timely fashion, which seems harder and harder to find in medical offices. Dr. Baric and his entire staff are running an office that is obviously extremely successful, yet they still manage to be efficient and caring. I’ve sent multiple referrals now and everyone I know is equally satisfied.”

“Dr Baric and his whole team at MyBrainDr are amazing. We’ve been taking our son for neurofeedback for the last two years. He is on the autism spectrum.

I only wish we had found Dr Baric sooner!”
