Interactive Light Therapy (also called The
Flexyx Neurotherapy System or EEG-Driven Stimulation) is an advanced
form of Neurotherapy (also called Brain Wave Biofeedback or
Neurofeedback) combined with a form of Light Therapy known as Photic
Stimulation and/or Audio Visual Stimulation (AVS).
There has been much research over
the past 30 years in this innovative area of brain wave regulation.
Clicking on the various links below will help you to understand how
this relatively new field is appearing to blossom into an exciting
viable alternative treatment approach.
