Cranial Technologies is the umbrella term that includes a wide range of technologies that are used to improve or restore cranial function.
These technologies can be used to treat conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy.
Brain Waves and How They Affect Us
Brain waves are brain activity patterns that are measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG). Brain waves are categorized into four types: alpha, beta, delta, and theta.
Alpha waves: Alpha waves are produced when a person is awake but relaxed. They help a person to feel calm and focused.
Delta Waves: Delta Waves are produced during deep sleep. They help with sleep and the healing of the body.
Theta Waves: Theta waves are produced during dreaming sleep and when a person is in deep meditation. Theta waves can make people feel creative, imaginative, or even psychic.
Beta Waves: Beta waves occur when we focus on something like reading or solving math problems.
How Cranial Technologies Developed:
In the 1970s, David Ramey and his colleagues found that earlobe sensor readings were proportional to intracranial pressure. This discovery has helped researchers in understanding headaches and other conditions that are related to the brain.
The earlobe is a convenient place to measure cranial nerve pressure. It is a simple, non-invasive and painless way to measure the pressure of cranial nerves.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback therapy is a type of psychotherapy that trains the brain to function better. It is used to help people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders, and other neurological disorders.
What are the Benefits of Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a type of therapy that helps to regulate brain activity. Many different conditions can be treated. It involves monitoring brain activity and giving feedback on the person’s level of arousal based on their brain waves.
Neurofeedback therapy is used to treat some different conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, and chronic pain.
It has been found that neurofeedback can be an effective treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In one study it was found that children who received Neurotherapy showed significant improvements in cognitive functioning and behavior compared with those who didn’t receive this therapy. This means neurofeedback can help people with ADHD focus better so they can complete tasks without distractions.
Neurofeedback also has the potential to help improve sleep quality as well as reduce symptoms related to chronic pain such as muscle tension and headaches.
The Future of Cranial Technologies & Where it Could Lead Us
Cranial Technologies are rapidly evolving and expanding, with new and innovative devices being developed all the time. Here are a few of the potential future developments in cranial technology:
Neuroprosthetic devices: Neuroprosthetic devices are already being developed to help people with disabilities and chronic conditions. They could eventually be used to restore function to people who have lost it due to injury or disease.
Augmented reality: Augmented reality is a technology that allows you to see a virtual world overlayed onto the real world. It is being used in games, advertising, and navigation.
Cranial Technologies hold a plethora of potential and promise for the future. They offer several advantages over traditional methods of communication, such as the ability to convey images, sounds, and other sensory information directly to the brain. Additionally, cranial technologies could enable individuals with disabilities to enjoy greater independence and access to the world around them.
