ABSTRACT

Neurofeedback has recently evolved rapidly into a wide variety of technical methods seeking to enhance efficacy and reduce treatment time. However, more conservative traditional methods employing more sophisticated perspectives, such as the two channel approach, may have been overlooked with respect to their clinical potential. This chapter reviews an exploration of a basic two channel bi-hemispheric methodology, based on QEEG, and grounded in a traditional arousal model of neurofeedback enhanced by recent findings in neuroimaging. This method also calls for a biopsycho-social approach to clinical neurofeedback as well as the recognition and management of metabolic and psychosocial limitations that can confound training outcomes.
