An evaluation of digitised neurofeedback : Exploring how brain training technologies could shape the future of personalised mental health
Background and aims Neurofeedback is a method of brain self-control via measurement of brainwaves and provision of a feedback signal. Previous literature has identified potential for neurofeedback as alternative treatment for neuropsychiatric conditions including stress and anxiety. The SPHERE tool aims to digitise neurofeedback for mobile devices. This study evaluated whether SPHERE was more effective […]

Neurofeedback in Sports Training to Improve Brain Function and Athletic Performance: A Systematic Review of Motor, Cognitive, and Emotional Outcomes
Abstract Biofeedback training is a method commonly used in various fields of life, for example, in medicine, sports training or business. In recent studies, it has been shown that biofeedback, and neurofeedback, can affect the performance of professional athletes. Training based on the neurofeedback method includes exercising the brain waves. The aim of the article […]

fMRI Brain Connectivity and Activity During Emotion Regulation via EEG Neurofeedback in Healthy Young Adults: Preliminary Study of Neural Mechanism
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training with long-term medical and non-medical applications. Despite the existence of several emotion regulation studies using neurofeedback, further investigation is needed to understand interactions of the brain regions involved in the process. We implemented EEG neurofeedback with simultaneous fMRI using a modified happiness-inducing task through autobiographical memories to upregulate positive […]

Neurofeedback: A Comprehensive Review of System Design, Methods, and Clinical Applications of Current Technology and Its Future Directions for Therapy
Abstract Neurofeedback is a kind of biofeedback, which teaches self-control of brain functions to subjects by measuring brain waves and providing a feedback signal. Neurofeedback usually provides the audio and or video feedback. Positive or negative feedback is produced for desirable or undesirable brain activities, respectively. In this review, we provided clinical and technical information […]

Effectiveness of Neurofeedback-Assisted Mindfulness Training Using a Mobile App on Stress Reduction in Employees: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract Background: Mindfulness-based training programs have consistently shown efficacy in stress reduction. However, questions regarding the optimal duration and most effective delivery methods remain. Objective: This research explores a 4-week neurofeedback-assisted mindfulness training for employees via a mobile app. The study’s core query is whether incorporating neurofeedback can amplify the benefits on stress reduction and related metrics […]

Enhancing Learning in a Training Paradigm Using EEG-Neurofeedback to Improve Performance and Working Memory: A Study of Cognitive Gains
Abstract This paper provides the framework and supporting evidence for a highly efficient closed-loop paradigm that modifies a classic learning scenario using real-time brain activity in order to improve learning performance in a perceptual-cognitive training paradigm known as 3-dimensional multiple object tracking, or 3D-MOT. Results demonstrate that, over 10 sessions, when manipulating this novel task […]

School-Based Neurofeedback Training for Sustained Attention in Adolescents: A Preliminary Experimental Intervention Study on Cognitive Performance Outcomes.
Objective: To determine whether in situ neurofeedback training can be used as a tool to build sustained attention in the general student population and whether gains in attention translate to more effective work habits and learning skills. Method: Students participated in attention training game-based neurofeedback in situ for a period of 35 sessions of 25 min […]

Neurofeedback for the Education of Children with ADHD and Specific Learning Disorders in Modern Classroom Settings Across the World Today Globally
Abstract Neurofeedback (NF) is a type of biofeedback in which an individual’s brain activity is measured and presented to them to support self-regulation of ongoing brain oscillations and achieve specific behavioral and neurophysiological outcomes. NF training induces changes in neurophysiological circuits that are associated with behavioral changes. Recent evidence suggests that the NF technique can […]
