There is a large body of scientific research documenting the effectiveness of neurofeedback (also called EEG biofeedback or neurotherapy) for several areas of psychological or neurodevelopmental difficulty. The research represents an important convergence in findings and interest among disparate groups of scientists, researchers, and practitioners. Academic neuroscientists are now discovering with the advanced technology of the fMRI what has been known and practiced for over thirty years using the EEG (a much more accessible form of neuroimaging). The bottom line? We are able to voluntarily alter brain function when given feedback about it.
Here’s some of the major published research:
Current Bibliography of Research/Scientific Articles, maintained by ISNR
Evidence-based Practice in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback
(published by the AAPB, an international association for the study of psychophysiology and biofeedback)
