The Importance of Training Sensory Motor Rhythm (SMR)

Sensory Motor Rhythm (SMR) training has been a cornerstone of neurofeedback therapy for over 50 years, effectively addressing disorders such as ADHD, seizures, sleep disturbances, and traumatic brain injuries. Grounded in Barry Sterman’s pioneering research, SMR training involves conditioning the brain to enhance resilience and function. This post explores the importance, best practices, innovations, and NewMind's commitment to effective and reliable SMR training.

Advancing Brain Trauma Treatment: The Impact of Neurofeedback on Injury Recovery

Brain trauma treatment requires a personalized approach, especially when symptoms persist long after the initial injury. From mild concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI), damage to the brain can trigger a cascade of issues—neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions in brain function—that affect everything from memory to mood. NewMind’s neurofeedback tools, qEEG brain mapping, and symptom assessment resources help clinicians better understand each client’s condition and design individualized training protocols. With these tools, providers can support recovery, track progress, and address the complex challenges of brain trauma more effectively

The Truth About Theta: How Theta Brainwaves Shape Memory, Focus, and Relaxation

Theta brain waves play a key role in relaxation, memory, and cognitive processing, but misconceptions about their function persist. While some believe theta waves should always be reduced, research shows they are essential for both emotional integration and executive function. Understanding the two types of theta—recurrent and ascending—can help individuals optimize brain health through neurofeedback and other training techniques. Explore how different brain waves influence mental clarity, stress reduction, and cognitive performance.
