Frontal Alpha Asymmetry Neurofeedback for Brain-Computer Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the development of an affective BCI based on frontal alpha asymmetry neurofeedback, which has previously been used in clinical experiments. Our results evidence a pattern of high-performance for some subjects, combined with high illiteracy, with 52.3% of subjects succeeding in the neurofeedback task. We suggest that individual asymmetry baseline values may be one of the factors explaining BCI illiteracy in this context.

Depressed people, unlike non-depressed, show the higher the right frontal lobe activity than the left frontal lobe. Because the right hemisphere associated with negative emotional processing, pessimistic and maladaptive thinking styles, and the frontal alpha power is the inverse index of cortical activity, the frontal alpha power asymmetry reflects the balance between the left and right hemisph...
متن کاملThe validity of individual frontal alpha asymmetry EEG neurofeedback.
Frontal asymmetry in alpha oscillations is assumed to be associated with psychopathology and individual differences in emotional responding. Brain-activity-based feedback is a promising tool for the modulation of cortical activity. Here, we validated a neurofeedback protocol designed to change relative frontal asymmetry based on individual alpha peak frequencies, including real-time average ref...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder that is characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort and changed intestinal habits. The aim of This study was the comparison of features of brain oscillations in alpha frequency band by using rest-electroencephalography (EEG) between patients with IBS and healthy control. 11 IBS patients (7 female and 4 male) and ...
متن کاملIs alpha wave neurofeedback effective with randomized clinical trials in depression? A pilot study.
Frontal asymmetric activation has been proposed to be the underlying mechanism for depression. Some case studies have reported that the enhancement of a relative right frontal alpha activity by an asymmetry neurofeedback training leads to improvement in depressive symptoms. In the present study, we examined whether a neurofeedback training designed to increase the relative activity of the right...
متن کاملCorrelation between amygdala BOLD activity and frontal EEG asymmetry during real-time fMRI neurofeedback training in patients with depression
Real-time fMRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) is an emerging approach for studies and novel treatments of major depressive disorder (MDD). EEG performed simultaneously with an rtfMRI-nf procedure allows an independent evaluation of rtfMRI-nf brain modulation effects. Frontal EEG asymmetry in the alpha band is a widely used measure of emotion and motivation that shows profound changes in depression. ...
