·         The PeakMind Organisation currently based at universities in Swansea and Cambridge will be commencing operation at the LANC premises in July 2009.  PeakMind have been operational in providing neurofeedback services for several years now and have obtained some excellent results.

·         Neurofeedback is a well-documented technique for improving ADHD-type symptoms - either in isolation or in combination with the use of medication - by helping people to modify their brainwave activity. An initial quantitative EEG is performed to assess brain activity, a treatment plan is designed and the option is then given of having several ongoing sessions of neurofeedback.  This is usually done onsite at the LANC but options are available for home treatment.

·         The LANC is very supportive of this initiative and has had clinical experience of great improvement in many people’s lives as a result. This technique is used in many other similar clinics in the US and Europe.  In our experience people have often been able to reduce or come off medication, or to improve with some of the non‑medication responsive symptoms.
