Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Neurofeedback training has been suggested as a potential additional treatment option for MDD patients not reaching remission from standard care (i.e., psychopharmacology and psychotherapy). Here we systematically reviewed neurofeedback studies employing electroencephalography, or functional magnetic resonance-based pr...

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, ...

abstract aim and background: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of neurofeedback training on reducing anxiety in people who attend a psychology clinic in isfahan. methods and materials: eighteen persons were randomly divided in control and test groups. the mean age of participants was 34.44. then, before and after the training they were evaluated with kattel anxiety test (1...

In the first 2010 issue of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback we presented data concerning the effects of neurofeedback on various parameters of reading and spelling (Breteler et al. 2010). For spelling we reported a large effect size of 3.02. In a subsequent correspondence with prof. Daniel Brandeis (Brandeis 2010) from the University of Zürich, Switzerland, he and his co-workers pointed...

The advent of real-time neurofeedback techniques has allowed us to begin to map the controllability of sensory and cognitive and, more recently, affective centers in the brain. The subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sACC) is thought to be involved in generation of affective states and has been implicated in psychopathology. In this study, we examined whether individuals could use real-time fM...

Traumatic brain injuries constitute significant health and societal problems which can be ameliorated with some recent developments in neurofeedback. The field of neurofeedback has evolved from single channel to multiple-site training, and with LORETA Z-score training, deeper levels of the brain can reached. Neurofeedback for traumatic brain injury patients may provide improvements never before...

EEG Biofeedback (also known as neurofeedback) has been in use as a clinical intervention for well over 30 years; however, it has made very little impact on clinical care. One reason for this has been the difficulty in designing research to measure clinical change in the real world. While substantial evidence exists for its efficacy in treating attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, relativel...

OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the frontal-midline theta (fmθ) activity uptraining protocol on attention and working memory performance of older and younger participants. METHODS Thirty-two participants were recruited. Participants within each age group were randomly assigned to either the neurofeedback training (fmθ uptraining) group or the sham-neurof...
