Neurofeedback Therapy can also be used to activate the brain in a person showing relative surpluses of slow EEG activity, and relative deficits in fast EEG activity. This pattern is commonly seen in ADD, ADHD and Closed Head Injury. Predominance of slow-wave activity is associated with a day-dreamy (but creative) unfocusedness. Predominance of fast-wave activity is associated with alert, focused (but somewhat compulsive) behavior. Flexibility in which one meets situational demands with appropriate levels of central nervous system activity is the most adaptive approach, allowing for either creative thinking or focused thought as needed. |
