Facts about Neurofeedback Training
- 05
The clinical application of neurofeedback training gained significant momentum in the 1960s through Barry Sterman's research on sensorimotor rhythm and seizure reduction.
- 04
Practitioners of neurofeedback training typically use electrodes placed on the scalp to measure electrical activity and provide feedback through visual or auditory signals.
- 03
Alpha brainwave training, a common neurofeedback protocol, is used to promote relaxation and has been investigated as a treatment for anxiety and stress-related disorders.
- 02
ADHD is one of the most commonly studied conditions in neurofeedback training research, with protocols typically targeting theta and beta brainwave ratios.
- 01
Neurofeedback training uses real-time EEG data to teach individuals to self-regulate their brainwave activity through operant conditioning principles.
