PROCEDURE

Neurofeedback (NFB)

Participants are seated in a comfortable chair and have common EEG electrodes with a pre-application of EEG adhesion conductive paste placed on scalp. The participant will receive coaching as they look at the game training screen and focus on the image. The game training screen provides almost instantaneous feedback (within 200 milliseconds) to participants about brain functioning. Twenty, one-hour, NFB training sessions will be provided by a trained NFB specialist over an 8-10-week period with up to 5-sessions but usually 3 sessions a week. The specific NFB special use system that will be used is the Cygnet NFB System from Bee Medic Corporation. The latest technological advances in this system has enabled training frequencies in the infra-low frequency range as well as in all other relevant frequency ranges which is a breakthrough capacity not available on any other NFB system. This will enable the individualized training to the person's brain training preference.
