Indications
- epilepsy
- chronic pain
- may enhance efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy[4]
Contraindications
Procedure
- deploys a brain-computer interface to train self-regulation of brain activity using real-time audiovisual feedback of brain activity
- electroencephalogram (EEG)-based neurofeedback is the most common
- 2 EEG neurofeedback protocols have typically been used
- frequency band training aims to decrease the power of theta activity (4-7 Hz) or increase the power of beta activity (13-39 Hz) to promote attention
- event-related slow cortical potential regulation aims to increase or decrease negative potential shifts linked to cortical activation & cognitive preparation
- 2 EEG neurofeedback protocols have typically been used
- newer & less common
- real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging [rt-fMRI] neurofeedback
- functional near infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS] neurofeedback)
- neurofeeback builds on evidence from learning theories
- operant conditioning (implicit learning through reinforcement)
- skill acquisition (explicit, goal-directed learning)
- neurofeeback protocols are premised on the notion that by learning to self- regulate or normalize brain activity, one can alleviate behavioral symptoms & related impairments
Notes
- cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing thought patterns & behaviors through structured therapeutic techniques
- neurofeedback aims to train self-regulation of brain activity through real-time feedback mechanisms
