A developing literature explores the use of neurofeedback in the treatment of a range of clinical conditions, particularly ADHD and epilepsy, whilst neurofeedback also provides an experimental tool for studying the functional significance of endogenous brain activity. A critical component of any neurofeedback method is the underlying physiological signal which forms the basis for the feedback. ...

INTRODUCTION Neurofeedback training aims at learning self-regulation of brain activity underlying cognitive, emotional or physiological functions. Despite of promising investigations on neurofeedback as a tool for cognitive rehabilitation in neurological diseases, such as after stroke, there is still a lack of research on feasibility and efficiency of neurofeedback in this field. METHODS The ...

The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) plays critical roles in healthy motivation and learning, as well as in psychiatric disorders (including schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Thus, techniques that confer control of NAcc activity might inspire new therapeutic interventions. By providing second-to-second temporal resolution of activity in small subcortical regions, functional m...

Neurofeedback, the self-regulation of brain signals recorded using Electroencephalogram (EEG), allows Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) users to enhance cognitive as well as motor functions using specific training strategies. Therapeutic effects of neurofeedback (by the induction of neuroplasticity) on treatment of people with neurological disorders such as Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (...

OBJECTIVES Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. In quantified EEG (qEEG), the AD patients have a greater amount of theta activity compared with normal elderly individuals. Little is known about the effect of neurofeedback in patients with dementia. The objective of this study was to examine whether neurofeedback has a positive effect on cognitive performance in patients...

Social neuroscience benefits from the experimental manipulation of neuronal activity. One possible manipulation, neurofeedback, is an operant conditioning-based technique in which individuals sense, interact with, and manage their own physiological and mental states. Neurofeedback has been applied to a wide variety of psychiatric illnesses, as well as to treat sub-clinical symptoms, and even to...

In this paper we discuss our vision on future neurofeedback therapy. We analyze problems of the current situation and debate for a change in focus towards a vision in which neurofeedback therapy will ultimately be as easy as taking an aspirin. Furthermore we argue for a gaming approach as training, for separation between neurofeedback therapy and gaming has become noticeably smaller after recen...

Neurofeedback is gaining recognition as an efficient, effective treatment for a variety of different psychological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Its value has been shown in robust clinical studies. However, certain percentage clients do not respond to this modality. We suggest performing easier sessions so that receive increased rate positive feedback. This may encourage response neurofeedbac...

neurofeedback is a kind of biofeedback, which teaches self-control of brain functions to subjects by measuring brain waves and providing a feedback signal. neurofeedback usually provides the audio and or video feedback. positive or negative feedback is produced for desirable or undesirable brain activities, respectively. in this review, we provided clinical and technical information about the f...

Alpha-theta neurofeedback has been shown to produce professionally significant performance improvements in music students. The present study aimed to extend this work to a different performing art and compare alpha-theta neurofeedback with another form of biofeedback: heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback. Twenty-four ballroom and Latin dancers were randomly allocated to three groups, one re...
