Hey guys. Wondering if any of you have heard about this?
I went to an upscale treatment center for 8 months where they specialized in this technique back when I had a drug habit. Basically they stick a bunch of electrodes on certain areas of your head, you sit in front of a monitor and play some sort of game where you try to e.g. keep a 2-D airplane down a certain altitude or try to make a circle expand (with your brainwaves). You end up training your brain to rewire itself and work in a different way.
More explanation here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurofeedback or Google it.
At first I thought it was baloney but the weird part is it fucking worked. I haven't met one person there that said it didn't work. It works from ADHD to sleep disorders from anxiety to PTSD. Every single ADHD dude I have met was off Adderall and feeling better than ever within a month. I was very happy with it in fact I came back from straight down in the dumps depressed back to life in just a few months. Had to stop because it was shit-ass expensive.
I even met a professional tennis player doing sessions to increase his performance on the court.
The equipment isn't that expensive to buy and you don't need to have a medical license. I even took some biomedical engineering courses about brain science back when I was doing my BSc in EE.
Think about it as computer-assisted game training. Remember Ivan Drago vs. Rocky? Ivan had his ass handed to him at the end but he fought hard for a full 15 rounds.
Wondering if anyone else is curious about this.
It's legit. I did a similar thing based on heart rate variability. Google "heartmath". Really helped me meditate and calm the fuck down.
