When you receive NFB, it’s as simple as watching a DVD. When your brainwaves correspond with the pre-determined brain pattern, you continue watching the program. If the brainwaves start to deviate from the desired pattern, the computer immediately detects this and alters the DVD, making the picture go from color to black and white. These changes in the picture are the feedback. Your brain wants to watch the show in color, and learns what the brain waves where doing to produce the color. This process is similar to the childhood game of hiding something and telling the person when they are getting “warmer” or “colder.”
Through this process of positive and negative reinforcement, the client can learn to consciously control brainwave patterns.
