چکیده

Neural synchronization in the gamma band has been associated with feature binding and intelligence. Using neurofeedback, we aimed at changing the power of the gamma band and investigated whether these changes would influence behavioral measures of feature binding and intelligence. The results show that people are indeed able to alter the power in the gamma band if provided with neurofeedback. Moreover, the increase of gamma band power was related to a decrease of binding costs and an increase in intelligence, suggesting that the control of feature binding and intelligence share a common underlying mechanism.

Psychological, Neurophysiological, and Mental Factors Associated With Gamma-Enhancing Neurofeedback Success

Introduction: Regarding the neurofeedback training process, previous studies indicate that 10%-50% of subjects cannot gain control over their brain activity even after repeated training sessions. This study is conducted to overcome this problem by investigating inter-individual differences in neurofeedback learning to propose some predictors for the trainability of subjects. Methods: Eight hea...

Enhancing cognitive control through neurofeedback: A role of gamma-band activity in managing episodic retrieval

Neural synchronization has been proposed to be the underlying mechanism for exchanging and integrating anatomically distributed information and has been associated with a myriad of cognitive domains, including visual feature binding, top-down control, and long-term memory. Moreover, it seems that separate frequency bands have different functions in these cognitive processes. Here we studied whe...
