Cerebral Damage Neurofeedback Training

Cerebral Damage Neurofeedback Training

The brain consists of various structures, each possessing its own unique functionality. The brain’s outermost layer is the cerebral cortex, composed of gray matter and numerous neurons that ensure brain functionality (Cho et al., 2015). The cerebral cortex has various functions in cognitive functions for movement, speech, intelligence, and reasoning. Consistently, the motor and sensory aspects of individuals depend on the state of the cerebral cortex: these aspects would be affected in case of damage or injury.

In the cerebral cortex, neurons process information influencing sensory and motor tasks at the cellular level. For functionality efficiency, all cerebral cortex interconnections must be functional at the circuit level for effective information processing. Accordingly, brain damage results in multiple effects when the cerebral cortex is affected as cognition, sensory, and motor are affected, thus affecting individuals’ reasoning, speech, and motor tasks. In some cases, the gray matter might increase in volume, affecting the white matter, affecting the processing of information by neurons, which is slowed; thus, an individual’s reaction to impulses is affected (Cho et al., 2015). Damage can occur from physical accidents or health implications such as stroke.

Neurofeedback training can be employed for individuals with cerebral cortex damage. During neurofeedback training, the adaptive approach is used to restore cognition after damage. In this case, neuroplasticity is used to initiate the reorganization of the brain (Cho et al., 2015). Accordingly, various brain wave testing techniques establish functionality, yielding data used in the neurofeedback. Neurophysiological techniques can also be used during neurofeedback training to relay results immediately through beta, alpha, theta, delta, and gamma treatments (Cho et al., 2015). During this training, individuals with cerebral cortex damage adjust their brain waves, improving consciousness, concentration, and reactions to impulses. As a result, neurofeedback training improves cognition, reasoning perception, and memory.
