Just one or two neurofeedback sessions can change the activity in the brain and help people overcome fear, stress, and anxiety. In this test, people were able to quiet the activity that occurred in the amygdala (the brain region that deals with processing fear and similar emotions) after receiving simple auditory or visual hints that corresponded to the activity level there. The difference with other neurofeedback therapies is that in this case people were given clues which parts of their brain were active and that enabled them to faster reduce the amount of activity in that particular region.
