How-to neurofeedback
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a process that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain functions.
During a neurofeedback session, one tries to modify their brain activity to reach a more desired state, often to improve mental conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, and other neurological disorders.
Training sessions typically last about 5-20 minutes and may require multiple sessions over several weeks or months. The goal of neurofeedback is to effect lasting changes in brain activity that can support general well-being and alleviate symptoms of various neurological and psychological conditions.

SMR
Sensorimotor rhythm shows tension, often body tension as well. Trainings with SMR are used for hyperactivity, attention disorders, epilepsy, migraines.
During sessions it is necessary to focus on completing the task, increase concentration, try to remove all motor activity and muscle tension, especially in the neck, shoulders and face.
