Neurofeedback in Patients With Frontal Brain Lesions

The Intervention used for the control-group consists of a sham-neurofeedback, which is based on a previous eeg-recording and doesn't respond to the actual brain activity. The fact, that it is not a real neurofeedback, cannot be recognized by the patient nor the trainer because the eeg recording is not visible and the program reacts to muscle contractions (where feedback reactions would be expected) but not to brain activity.
