Our brain is a complex organ made up of billions of nerve cells called neurons, which make connections between them. These neural connections are like roads that connect the regions of our brain specifically involved in the task we are doing.
These connections are created, modified, reorganized or strengthened, particularly during the learning process, from embryonic development, to childhood toward adulthood. This ability of the brain to rearrange itself is called neuroplasticity. It appears especially when we have a new experience or when we are trying to learn something new.
This natural process of neuroplasticity in our brain can be stimulated with neurofeedback: a method created and mainly used in the clinical setting since the 1960s. This procedure is based on a technique capable of measuring your brain activity in real-time. The technique used by Melomind is electroencephalography (EEG), which non-invasively measures the electrical activity of your brain through electrodes positioned on the scalp.
