Many individuals diagnosed with ADHD have abnormal patterns of brain electrical activity, including ‘under-arousal’ in frontal and mid-line cortical regions and frontal ‘hyper-arousal’ that is more frequent in individuals who do not respond to stimulant medications. EEG biofeedback is aimed at normalizing EEG activity in order to correct the brain’s state of relative under-arousal and improve cognitive and behavioural functioning.…
I distinguish between biofeedback training and therapy. Biofeedback training refers to the methods and procedures used to increase control over physiological responses. Biofeedback therapy refers to clinical applications of biofeedback training. I use the term biofeedback to refer to both biofeedback training and therapy. CONTINUE READING HERE
I’m a behavioral neuroscientist by training. This means that when I went to school at UCLA (Go Bruins!) I made it my focus to understand how neurochemical and neurophysical changes in the brain affect the way we interact with the world. At the time, I was primarily interested in how these things relate to addiction, but more and more I…
A growing body of research has addressed the application of movement-based biofeedback techniques for improving sports performers’ gross motor skills. Unlike in previous research, we aimed in this study to quantify the effects of this “external” biofeedback on selected performance and technique variables for the boxing jab among both novices and experts. The technical setup included two inertial measurement units…
Biofeedback has shown to be a promising tool for the treatment of anxiety; however, several theoretical as well as practical limitations have prevented widespread adaptation until now. With current technological advances and the increasing interest in the use of self-monitoring technology to improve mental health, we argue that this is an ideal time to launch a new wave of biofeedback…
