Memory Problems Treatment Program
A successful and alternative treatment for Memory Problems
Welcome to our Memory Treatment Program here at the Scottsdale Neurofeedback Institute. We have been improving memory deficits and issues in individuals for well over 18 years here at our base in Arizona. We use an alternative treatment known as
QEEG brain map based neurofeedback to achieve these dramatic life changing results.
Memory difficulties can occur in all ages and can be caused by great number of possible causes;
|
|
|
- Lack of oxygen to the brain
|
- Toxic exposures (mold, carbon dioxide)
|
|
|
|
- Mood disorders such as depression
|
|
Memory problems can also be inherited such as often are learning disabilities. Memory difficulties take many forms such as short term, long term and word retrieval.
QEEG Brain Mapping and Neurofeedback for Memory Problems
QEEG topographic brain maps provide an ideal way of assessing for the types of dysfunction and damage that usually cause memory problems. The first step in performing a QEEG topographic brain map which is painless and non-evasive, is that we place a cap with 19 electrodes on the scalp which picks up the brain electricity (EEG). The recorded EEG is then processed utilizing 6 normative databases including the New York University medical school database. The statistical data will demonstrate which abnormalities are present and the degree of severity. The maps reveal several types of dysfunction;
- Under arousal- lack of blood flow and metabolism
|
- Over arousal- excessive blood flow and metabolism
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These measures are given in statistical normative data which reveals the degree of severity for each measure. EEG neurofeedback training can then be used to train the abnormal findings back to within the normal range resulting in often remarkable improvements. Pre and post brain mapping and pre and post testing can be performed to assess for improvements.
