Title : Individualized neurofeedback
Abstract:
Considerable interest has been, and still is, generated by the potential performance enhancing benefits of EEG biofeedback or Neurofeedback training (NFT). A plausible rationale for such training, with an aim to improve mood and or enhance cognition, can be made based upon what is already known of the links between EEG activity and behavior. However, designing an optimal NFT paradigm remains difficult because a number of methodological factors that may influence the outcome of such training remain largely unexplored. Specifically, this presentation examines the NFT training schedule; the variety, basis, the nature and modality of the feedback signal provided; the establishment of a target frequency range of EEG, whether NFT should be conducted with eyes open or closed and the impact of the neurohumoral condition, instructional recommendations on the NFT efficiency; unidirectional EEG as compared to bidirectional EEG/EMG NFT Throughout, the presentation provides a number of suggestions and possible directions for future research
Audience Take Away Notes:
- "What is Individual Neurofeedback?" presentation will answer the questions clients and their loved ones may have, but are reluctant to ask.Topics include follow questions:
- What is neurofeedback?
- Which conditions are effectively treated with neurofeedback?
- How is neurofeedback training conducted?
- Are there side effects?
- How long will training should take place?
