Neurofeedback is also called QEEG Biofeedback, because it is based on electrical brain activity, the quantitative electroencephalogram, or QEEG. Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation of the brain. It is simply biofeedback applied to the brain directly. Self-regulation is a necessary part of good brain function. Self-regulation training allows the system (the central nervous system) to function better.
