Psychology Feedback

What is Neuropsychology?
Neuropsychology is a subspecialty of psychology concerned with the relationship between the brain and behavior, including the diagnosis of brain pathology through the use of psychological tests and assessment techniques.

What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback (or EEG Biofeedback) is a method that uses feedback of the electrical activity of the brain (the EEG) in order to retrain and recondition brainwave patterns.  The EEG activity can be observed in several frequency bands whose activity correlate with states of attention, alertness, drowsiness and sleep. Numerous studies have indicated that by training the brainwave activity directly, the level of attention or mental states such as relaxation and anxiety can be changed or positively conditioned.
Neurofeedback is based on the so called "operant conditioning" which involves immediate reward of desirable behavior or states and discouragement of undesirable behavior or states. Essentially therefore it is a learning process where the state of the EEG is constantly monitored and fed-back. Because it is a learning process, there are no known negative side effects and is generally considered a safe method.

How does Neurofeedback work?
Neurofeedback is traditionally based on feedback of brainwave activity in the Theta (4-8), Alpha (8-12), SMR (12-15) and Beta (16-30) frequency bands. A number of electrodes are placed on the head (using standardized locations) and the amplitude or power of these frequency bands are fed back with a graphical display or auditory feedback. Slow brainwave activity may indicate a state of inattention or drowsiness. If that is undesirable, the slow wave activity may train 'down' and 'faster' brainwave activity is rewarded.

Who can benefit from Neurofeedback?

What is Biofeedback?

Another word for Biofeedback is 'physiological feedback' or 'clinical psychophysiology'. Biofeedback actually refers to those clinical applications where physiological signals from the body are used for visual or auditory feedback during a therapy or training session. This method was first used in the seventies and has been subject of thorough scientific research ever since. Over 5000 scientific publications can be found in the pubmed library on the Internet.

What is Psychometrics?

It is a tool to understand people and interpersonal relations. The primary purpose of this is to provide information for self-awareness.

FIRO- Element B: (Team analysis)
Very good tool for team building exercises, need analysis and training

E Q Test:
Strong tool for executive personality assessment, development, Training and attitude change

GPPI:
An excellent executive profiling tool specially recommended for sales, marketing and the people involved with making impact and negotiations.

MBTI:
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: The indicator is a self-report questionnaire which takes about thirty five minutes   to complete. There are no right and wrong answers.
