Unlock the Power of Your Autistic Brain through Neurofeedback with Dr Andrew Hill
Is Neurofeedback Relevant for Autistic People? What is Neurofeedback you ask? In this video I ask Dr. Andrew Hill, founder of Peak Brain Institute, to break down what neurofeedback is, how it works, and how it can benefit autistic individuals. Plus, he takes us on a journey inside the machine that is our brain and helps us understand what makes autistic brains unique from the inside. 🎞️Timestamps: 0:45 Introduction 0:46 What is Neurofeedback? 1:57 What is Biofeedback? 3:05 Regional Mapping in the Brain 9:03 What are common things that people might use neurofeedback to help with? 15:15 Diagnosis or Modeling? 16:50 How is every strength is a weakness? 20:40 The International Society for Neurofeedback & Research 22:49 Our challenges are not like everyone else’s ----------------------------------------------- 👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!! If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you! I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30. Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know. Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person. Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too. ➡️️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-FpBZR7DbpvNj5UrFN8qUA?sub_confirmation=1 👋Connect with me: ➡️️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aspergersfromtheinside ➡️️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/autismfromtheinside.com.au ➡️️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AspieFromInside ➡️️ Written Blog: https://aspergersfromtheinside.com/ ➡️️ Email: aspergersfromtheinside@gmail.com Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!
