We propose to extend the current focus of BCI-based stroke rehabilitation beyond sensorimotor-rhythms to also include associative brain areas. In particular, we argue that neurofeedback training of brain rhythms that signal a state-of-mind beneficial for motorlearning is likely to enhance post-stroke motor rehabilitation. We propose an adaptive neurofeedback paradigm for this purpose and demons...

Neurofeedback is an emerging neuroscience-based clinical application, and understanding the underlying principles of neurofeedback allows the therapist to provide referrals or treatment, and provides clients with a framework for understanding the process. The brain’s electrical patterns are a form of behavior, modifiable through “operant conditioning,” with the excessive brain frequencies reduc...

The field of neurofeedback training has largely proceeded without validation. Here we review our studies directed at validating SMR, beta and alpha-theta protocols for improving attention, memory, mood and music and dance performance in healthy participants. Important benefits were demonstrable with cognitive and neurophysiological measures which were predicted on the basis of regression models...

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 explai...

Neurofeedback treatment for addictions in adults is probably efficacious, and several reported approaches are described with their indications. Neurofeedback is promising as a treatment modality for adolescents, especially those with stimulant abuse and attention and conduct problems. It is attractive as a medication-free, neurophysiologic, and self-actualizing treatment for a substance-based, ...

introduction: the aim of this study is to investigate the entrepreneurial traits of school children in the city of tehran. methods: for this purpose, 48 students were selected with an average iq between 90 and 119. ranging from 7th to 12th grades, all the subjects were assessed using nowicki-strickland’s locus of control scale (n-slcs), torrance tests of creative thinking (ttct), and hyperkinet...

Current research has shown that neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback as it is sometimes called, is a viable alternative treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The aim of this article is to illustrate current treatment modalities(s), compare them to neurofeedback, and present the benefits of utilizing this method of treatment to control and potentially alleviate the symptoms...

BACKGROUND Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as one of the most common neurological disorders in children and adolescents, is characterized by decentralization, slow learning, distraction and hyperactivity. Studies have shown that in addition to medication, neurofeedback training can also be used to partially control the brain activity of these patients. METHODS In this study, ...
