Neurofeedback targets the four primary brainwaves

At MyBrainDR, we specialize in neurofeedback therapy to help those in Raleigh and beyond optimize their brain function by targeting and balancing primary brainwaves. Each of these brainwaves is responsible for regulating the active and subconscious aspects of your body. Understanding how brainwaves work is key to improving focus, emotional regulation, and overall mental well-being.

neurofeedback therapy and delta brainwaves for sleep and insomnia

Delta

Delta brainwaves are associated with deep, dreamless sleep and regeneration. Delta brainwaves occur when you are asleep and are responsible for healing the body.

Theta brainwaves and neurofeedback therapy

Theta

Theta brainwaves are associated with light sleep and/or extreme relaxation. When your subconscious takes over you start producing higher levels of Theta brainwaves.

Alpha brainwaves and neurofeedback therapy

Alpha 

Alpha brainwaves occur when you are awake but relaxed and not processing much information. When you first wake up and right before you fall asleep, you are generating Alpha waves.

Beta brainwaves and neurofeedback therapy

Beta 

Beta brainwaves are associated with the mental state most people are in during the day and most of their waking lives. When you are alert and focused, you are producing Beta brainwaves.

While each of these brainwaves is responsible for different body functions, they all are equally important to your health and well-being. Researchers have known for decades the correlation between irregular brain waves and common neurological conditions, and neurofeedback is the first field to directly target these irregular brain waves and restore them to normal ranges.
