Unlock the Power of Your Brain with Neurointegration

The brain is our most important organ, because it controls all other organs and how we experience the world, how we process information coming from the outside and inside of the body. When the brain malfunctions, we notice the symptoms that stand in the way of our daily lives and work, like forgetting our keys, suddenly feeling anxious in groups of people or in the airplane, fatigue that just won’t go away, migraine headaches or low back pain that keeps us home in bed. These and other problems start in the brain, but we fail to look to the brain to diagnose and treat these cognitive, emotional, physiological, and stress-related conditions. Neurointegration (Neurofeedback) Training is a good solution to improve function of your brain, and to reduce symptoms of a variety of disorders including:

  • ADHD
  • Depression
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Fatigue
  • Stroke
  • Seizure
  • And many others

Neurointegration is the science of training of the brain to work in an optimal way. You can make your brain stronger and more efficient through these training sessions, by learning to change your brainwaves!

Are you ready to start training your brain? Are you ready for a change?

Just follow these simple steps to a better you:

  1. Call us at 212-390-1727 and schedule an appointment for Neurointegration Therapy.
  2. Upon arriving into our office, you will be asked to fill out a series of questions in order to document your current state.
  3. As soon as you are done, you will see one of our Physicians for an evaluation.
  4. Thereafter, you will be taken into a private room and be hooked up to an EEG Neurointegration System, and our Technician will generate your brain map. This will only take about forty minutes.
  5. Our Physician will analyze your brain map to determine areas of improvement, and will suggest a training schedule to fit your needs.
  6. You can start Neurointegration training the very next day!

Do not delay, and call 212-390-1727 for a better you!

Neurointegration Will Rewire your Brain for Optimal Performance

Recent studies prove that training brain to alter its brainwave pattern into a more desirable pattern allows the brain to rewire itself. This is called neuroplasticity.  Neuroplasticity is what allows the brain to transform itself, creating new neural pathways, which alter how information travels along the nervous system.  This changes the physical structure of the brain, so that it learns to operate in better and more desirable ways. The first step in Neurointegration training is to map your brain by using an electro-encephalogram (EEG), to generate a Brain Map. This EEG Brain Map reveals the unhealthy brainwave frequencies throughout different locations of the brain, which may be caused by serious issues like PTSD, anxiety disorder or even problems that have yet to fully evolve, such as mild fibromyalgia or early memory loss. Brainwaves and the Functions They Control Brainwaves represent electrical activity of the brain that doctors and researchers register on the skin of the scalp in projections of different areas of the brain with electroencephalography (EEG). Brainwaves differ in power and frequency. Recognized researchers (E Roy John, et al, Thatcher) have found normal patterns of brainwaves distribution at sites across the scalp of humans. Specific EEG “pattern signatures” (patterns), have been found that relate to a number of disorders (ADD, OCD, dementia, anxiety, substance abuse, etc.). Human Brain emit six different kinds of brainwaves: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta, Gamma and Mu. Brain waves are measured in Hertz. (Hz) (Link)

  1. Alpha waves – Alpha waves
    • Alpha waves in the 7-13Hz range are associated with meditation and a sense of inner calm.
    • In the 9-13 Hz range – they reflect wakefulness;
    • And the 7-8 Hz range – they reflects drowsiness and metabolic problems.

    High alpha in frontal lobe is registered in daydreaming kids, ADD/ADHD and depression. Normally, Alpha has either equal amplitude in both hemispheres of the brain,
    or is slightly higher in the right.

    Higher amplitude of alpha in the left hemisphere is commonly found in depression.

  2. Theta waves – 4-7 Hz. Theta is associated with creativity, spontaneity or distractibility and inattention. Excessive theta may reflect emotional problems – (depression, anxiety), foggy thinking, slow reaction time, poor calculation or judgment
    • Normal Theta: Theta ratios are 2:1 adults, 2.5:1 kids.
    • Kids with ADD have >2.5:1 ratios (Th:B)
  3. Delta waves – 1-4Hz. Delta is associated with deep sleep and unconsciousness. Delta waves may also be associated with excessive worrying. High focal delta may indicate local traumatic brain injury.
  4. Beta wave – Beta brain waves are found at 13-32 Hz. They are called “fast” waves. Beta waves are associated with focus, analytic thinking, and external orientation.
    • “High” Beta (“fast” Beta brain waves at 20-32 Hz) are associated with anxiety, alcoholism, insomnia, peak performance, cognitive processing, worry, overthinking, ruminating and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
    • “Low” Beta waves (13-15Hz) reflect a state of internal orientation. Maximal beta amplitude is usually in frontal and central region of the brain cortex.
  5. Gamma and Mu – These brain waves are not currently used in Neurointegration Therapy.

The Brain Lobes: General Orientation

In Brain Mapping, we evaluate the location of inappropriate brainwaves because different parts of brain are responsible for different functions.

  • Frontal lobes – Working memory, Attention, Emotional Inhibition.
    • Left – Facial recognition; Planning and Problem Solving.
    • Right – Vigilance area; Selective and sustained attention.
    • Prefrontal cortex is a part of frontal lobes that differ us from the rest of animals. It is responsible for executive functions – decision-making and orchestrating thoughts and actions to achieve a goal. It allows humans to postpone instant gratification to achieve more important goal. Prefrontal cortex also plays important role in pain perception.
  • Parietal Lobes – Body awareness, Location, Short Term Memory, Association, Arousal.
    • Left hemisphere– Self boundaries, Excessive thinking.
    • Right hemisphere– Visual processing; Personality – Excessive Self-Concern, Victim Mentality; Agnosia, Apraxia, Context Boundaries, Rumination
  • Occipital Lobes – Vision, Arousa, Procedural Memory.
  • Temporal Lobes – Memory, Comprehension.
  • Cerebellum – Balance, Motor sequencing.

Neurointegration (Neurofeedback) Treatment

During Neurointegration (Neurofeedback) training – personalized guided feedback using a system of lights, the brainwaves are trained into healthy patterns. Over a series of sessions, the brain learns to stay in the proper rhythm, essentially creating new neural pathways. Once the brain is able to sustain the new brainwave patterns on its own, the patient receives long-term relief for the underlying problem. Trainees typically come for 20-40 sessions of training twice a week or more. Each session is 30-40 minutes long.

Neurointegration success rates:

Follow up studies in neurofeedback show that effects continue for up to 30 years. The typical success rates are:

  • Depression 90%
  • ADHD-90%
  • OCD 80%
  • Anxiety 75%
  • Bipolar 60%
  • Autism 30-40%
