ABSTRACT

The review of the history of neurofeedback shows how the early research became the foundation for the subsequent proliferation of clinical protocols, resolved questions of basic mechanisms, and gives us a perspective on the different schools of thought within the field. The chapter explains how the development of Infra-Low Frequency Neurofeedback can be viewed as a process of incremental refinement and optimization, in seamless continuity with Sterman’s original protocol. In the ILF domain, the training process has become continuous and covert, and thus entirely endogenous.
