New possibiliets to treat ADHD

Neurofeedback (NFB)(neurotherapy, neurobiofeedback, EEG biofeedback) is a controversial therapy technique. It presents the user with realtime feedback on brainwave activity, as measured by electrodes on the scalp. Typically is in the form of a video display, sound or vibration.

Neurofeedback can be useful in the treatment of ADHD. ADHD is often characterized by an abundance of slow brainwaves and a diminished quantity of fast wave activity. Neurofeedback treatment teach individuals to produce more normalized EEG patterns.

The aim is to enable conscious control of brainwave activity. If brain activity changes in the direction desired by the therapist. Positive (reward) feedback is given to the individual also if it is regresses, negative feedback or no feedback is given (depending on the protocol). Rewards can be as simple as complex as a certain type of movement of a character in a video game or as a change in pitch of a tone.
