There are many people for whom good brain function is critical, but the objective has largely been achieved through conventional means. The concert pianist trains brain function through the tireless practice of his craft. Tiger Woods continues to hone his skills with great diligence. But what does the diplomat do who has to function in critical negotiations after changing six time zones? What does the surgeon do when he is roused out of deep sleep for emergency surgery at three in the morning? What does the aging commercial pilot do when he confronts his re-qualification test in the simulator?
Results of psychophysiologic research combined with the most recent technology create new possibilities for more full use of mental potential. Brain plasticity allows positive, often deep changes in abilities.
Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) teaches better concentration, attention and creativity, raises immunity to stress and helps to develop many other psychological functions. Learned skills find application in any field: in business and sports, in studies, creative work and personal life, in the face of challenges, threats and growing level of stress.
We are at a threshold now where the training discipline of a sports competitor or the rehearsal discipline of a performance artist has become relevant to anyone who is dependent on good mental function. Actually, the burden is not nearly so great as in sports or the arts. After an initial series of Neurofeedback sessions, people can usually maintain with only rare booster sessions, possibly as few as one per year.
If one's challenges arrive on a schedule, one can prepare with remote training. A professional golfer can plan to do a session prior to a tournament. A singer can compose herself prior to a performance with a calming Neurofeedback session. The traveling diplomat can help to reset the circadian clock with a strategy that includes Neurofeedback. The pilot booked on long-distance flights can ease the strain of time zone shifts with Neurofeedback. The graduate student petrified before his oral exams can prepare with a few sessions of training.
