What Is Neurofeedback?

All brains produce a variety of electrical wave patterns which reflect what the brain is doing. This article describes the process where the brain's own output is used to help people change their brain's functioning which is commonly called, neurofeedback training. An additional science called Quantitative EEG (brain maps) is used to help assess the kind of brain training that holds the most promise. Several of the major conditions for which neurofeedback training has proven most successful are outlined below, including the key scientific studies that support the sort of training that is used. Written by D. Corydon Hammond, PhD

What is Quantitative EEG?

This is a basic description of quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) in the context of neurotherapeutic application. Issues associated with spectral analysis of human EEG are discussed and an example quantitative EEG assessment is provided. Written by David Kaiser, PhD

Comprehensive Neurofeedback Bibliography

There have been hundreds of papers in the scientific literature on this topic and this document lists many pages of the best of them in topical groups. Many of the studies now have links to read either the abstract or some even full text online at no charge. Both professional care providers and the public are invited to delve further into this research. Written by D. Corydon Hammond, PhD
