What is HEG Neurofeedback?
HEG neurofeedback stands for Hemoencephalography neurofeedback. It’s a type of brain training that measures and trains blood flow and oxygenation in specific parts of the brain, most often in the prefrontal cortex. Unlike traditional EEG neurofeedback, which measures electrical activity (brainwaves), HEG focuses on blood flow, using either infrared or near-infrared light.
Two Main Types of HEG:
nIR HEG (near-infrared)
Uses sensors to detect how much near-infrared light is absorbed by oxygenated vs. deoxygenated blood in the brain.
Helps train areas like the frontal lobe, which are involved in attention, executive function, and emotional regulation.
pIR HEG (passive infrared)
Measures thermal output (heat) from the brain, which reflects blood flow.
Often used for migraine and headache treatment.
📋 Typical HEG Neurofeedback Procedure with Dr. Mehulkumar Dave
1. Initial consultation
You discuss symptoms and complete psychological assessments.
2. Baseline recording
HEG device measures your normal prefrontal blood flow.
3. Training sessions
