Report in a neurofeeback office in France. Neurofeedback is a technique that allows the electrical activity of the brain to be analyzed in real time in an attempt to intuitively improve its functioning. In practice, sensors are applied to the skull and to the ears. The electrical signals are detected using an electroencephalograph which provides the information to a dedicated application. The practitioner is in control of the program while a multimedia activity is delivered to the patient, here in the form of music. During listening, the system informs the brain of the dynamics of the signals it emits, it can then learn to correct them spontaneously thanks to very sophisticated software and can thus succeed in emitting stable and balanced signals.

France, Brittany, Medreac on 2022-03-25. At the beginning of 2022, the journalist Victor Castanet denounced in his book Les Fossoyeurs the scandal of the accusations of "institutional mistreatment" of the residents of the Orpéa group's retirement homes, provoking the fall of this world leader in residential care for dependent elderly people. It is in this context that the Residence Les Menhirs, claiming a virtuous and benevolent model, agreed to welcome me for a long period of time within their establishment for a photographic and documentary immersion. Located in Medreac, in the heart of rural Brittany, this retirement home applies the "Humanitude" philosophy of care. This method of good treatment that they have been applying since the opening of the EHPAD in 2008 is based on five principles: zero care by force, without abandoning care; "living and dying on your feet"; respect for privacy and singularity; openness to the outside world; a place of life, a place of desires.
