Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback

Proven by the recognition-preference our clients show; they come to our Centres in Greece from the 5 continents of the world (Europe, America, Asia, Africa, Australia(, from 45 countries, even the most advanced ones, e.g., Australia, China, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the USA , etc.).

Pavlidis Method, unique internationally, includes photo-electronic Ophthalmokinetic biofeedback, which was developed in England and perfected/refined in the USA by Inventor-Professor Pavlidis.

Ophthalmokinetic biofeedback is the most accurate, fastest, most direct and, therefore, most effective type of biofeedback.

It spontaneously transforms unconscious errors (uncontrollable) into conscious ones (controllable-correctable), thus rendering them correctable. It is a biological treatment for Attention Deficit, of Impulsiveness and, partially, of Dyslexia, which very often coexist (Pavlidis, 1981; 1986; 1990; Pavlidis & Giannouli, 2014). It is a fully safe, pleasant and effective method, with no side-effect, which is appropriate-applicable for all age groups.

It is the most pleasant, direct, fastest and most effective type of biofeedback.

The Aims of Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback

We transform potential into Competences – Skills

The aims of Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback are to improve the following competences:

Increases attention focusing
Reduces Impulsivity-Hyperactivity
Reduction of regressive eye movements during reading (when our gaze wrongly turns backward instead of forward)

Our basic aim is to combine Ophthalmokinetic biofeedback with Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to successfully treat an individual’s undesirable daily experiences.

Through Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback we train the brain to control itself and become automatically self-protective, so that before an individual acts he may think of the consequences of his actions and so as to protect herself from potentially wrong actions and behaviours.

In other words, through our method we train the child so as to change his/her behaviour: from unconscious-spontaneous-uncontrolled to conscious, controlled-responsible. In other words, the person consciously decides to improve and control herself with the help of Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback.

In order to transfer the improvement to their daily lives and behaviour, we combine Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback with Cognitive – Behavioural Therapy.

This is how they train-learn to control themselves in real life, which will help them focus and have self-control, so as to acquire more social skills and make better friendships. This is because they have to think before they act and not say or do things they should not, which annoys others and makes them not to want to be their friends or colleagues.

Types of Biofeedback

We provide two biofeedback types for various aims and goals:

1. OPHTHALMOKINETIC BIOFEEDBACK

An internationally unique method, treatment with Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback is performed in the form of a pleasant game on the P/C, using specialised photoelectronic systems-devices and our corresponding programmes, developed by Inventor-Professor Pavlidis.

Every time the child’s attention or impulsiveness urge them to become absent-minded or act impulsively, without thinking, their brain is informed immediately, within 3 milliseconds, through our internationally unique photoelectronic technology, for the ‘mistake’ they are about to make, thus returning them to their initial task-goal.

This way, the brain is trained to turn Unconscious Mistakes (=uncontrollable) to Conscious ones(=controllable). The result is that the brain, once it has become aware of them, can self-correct the mistakes. In other words, through the Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback, the brain is trained to correct itself.

2. CALLIGRAPHY – DEXTERITY BIOFEEDBACK

An internationally unique exclusivity, the Pavlidis Method, has developed an effective system that uses advanced software and know-how, that is applied via TABLETS. This gives children the opportunity to improve both their attention and their writing style and to also develop/improve their dexterity that involves fine movements that are performed by small muscles (e.g., finger muscles) (Occupational Therapy).

The child draws on the TABLET while developing its fine motor skills. While drawing, through our advanced and exclusive technology, the child’s brain is immediately and automatically informed about unconscious-mistaken clumsy movements; this way, what is unconscious becomes conscious, as the child immediately perceives his mistake.

This is how we achieve concurrently to improve:

Attention focusing
Writing style
Fine motor skills-dexterity.

In other words, in addition to Ophthalmokinetic Biofeedback, we also offer biofeedback for finger movements. Some children, particularly those with ADHD, are clumsy both in fine (finger) movements and larger movements by bigger muscles of the body (e.g. lower and upper arms). We are particularly interested in fine finger movements, because it increases finger dexterity and improves the quality of writing.

Even the best teacher cannot have the necessary instantaneous speed required to perceive-anticipate the imminent erroneous movement of the pupil’s hand while he is writing so as to deter ‘bad writing’. Our instantaneous ultra-fast electronic system-method can achieve this, thanks to the advanced, pleasant and truly safe biofeedback technology we have developed.
