History of Neurofeedback

1960s: The Beginning

Research by M. Barry Sterman and Wanda Wyrwicka demonstrated that EEG brain training can measure and influence brain activity, further contributing to the field of neurofeedback research and advancing neurofeedback technology.

Key Discovery: Brain Patterns Can Change

A specific brainwave pattern—sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)—was linked to deep focus and stability through EEG brain training. Researchers discovered that neurofeedback research shows the brain can learn and adapt when given real-time feedback, thanks to advancements in neurofeedback technology.

1970s: Expanding the Research

Further studies at the University of California, Los Angeles demonstrated that EEG brain training techniques could enhance neurological stability. This advancement in neurofeedback research facilitated the transition of neurofeedback technology from theoretical studies to practical applications.

History of Neurofeedback

With advancements in neurofeedback technology, EEG brain training has become more precise, comfortable, and tailored to the individual. At Wilmington Neurofeedback, we build on this progress through a personalized approach, supported by neurofeedback research, designed to enhance brain function efficiently—helping improve: Focus & Attention, Emotional Balance, Sleep Quality, and Cognitive Performance.
