Introduction
• Goal: Learning to self-regulate one’s own brain
• It is technology’s answer to psychotherapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and poor cerebral functioning– Mental Health Professionals
– Educators
– Occupational Therapists
– Rehabilitation Counselors
– Doctors

Biofeedback• Attaching sensors to the body for purpose of
acquiring biological signals such as:– Heart rate
– Muscle tension
– Body temperature
– …
• Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback– Brains electrical activity

Inside the Brain
• Neurons
![Page 5: Neurofeedback Training Michael Dahl CS 575. Introduction Goal: Learning to self-regulate one’s own brain It is technology’s answer to psychotherapy, cognitive.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4b5503460f94a27fb7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Detecting activity inside the Brain
• When many neurons fire at the same time, they may produce electrical activity detectable to an electrode placed on the head.
• Electroencephalograph (EEG) - Graphical representation of neuronal activities in the brain.

Early History• 1875: Richard Canton – First person to record electrical
activity from the brain. He discovered fluctuation in the brain’s electrical activity follow mental activity
• 1920’s: Hans Berger – First to measure EEG on human scalp. Discovered several types of brainwaves
Berger’s EEG recording apparatus Berger’s electrode cap

More History
• 1963: Joseph Kamiya – trained patient to recognize alpha state through verbal reinforcement
• 1968: Barry Sterman – Trained cats to increase SMR

Modern Developments
• 1970’s – 1980’s: QEEG
• 1980’s – 1990’s: Use of computer graphics and sound for neurofeedback training

Brain regions• Each region of the brain is associated with
specific fundamental operations
International 10-20 System of Electrode Placement
Example locations:

QEEG
• Developed in 1970’s / 1980’s
• 19 sensors on scalp
• Broad picture of the brain in action
• Can compare results to normative database– Often used to access progress of neuorofeedback

Two branches of treatment
• Normalizing the EEG
• Personal growth and mental flexibility (peek performance)

Near Future
• Virtual Reality– Enhance neurofeedback in a couple ways
• The total immersion and totality of the feedback allows the patient to focus completely on his physiology without distraction
• More engaging and motivating for the client
![Page 21: Neurofeedback Training Michael Dahl CS 575. Introduction Goal: Learning to self-regulate one’s own brain It is technology’s answer to psychotherapy, cognitive.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4b5503460f94a27fb7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some Predictions for the Future
• At some point, every home will have one. We will all hook up to a machine with electrodes. It will be as common as physical exercise.
• Someday people may even wear tiny computers to monitor their EEG and tell them when they need to make adjustments.

Conclusion
• Field of neurofeedback is still in its infancy– Research in thin
– Clinical outcome studies are overwhelming
• Research needs to be funded to gain support of insurance companies, schools, and doctors
