The Pain Management Task Force’s final report, which was initiated by Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker in August of 2009, addresses the lack of a […]
This article is a second in a 2-part series that further explains the practicalities of using Z-score [neurofeedback] training with multiple sites. For an explanation of the theory this is based upon, please refer to Part 1 of this series. Additionally, readers not familiar with Z-score neurofeedback may want to first read the article “Z-Score […]
The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) will hold its annual conference on March 24-27, 2010 in San Diego, California. This year’s conference theme is “Personalized Medicine in the Age of Technology: Psychophysiology and Health.” (continue reading)
This article relates some of our last 2 years of work with Live Z-score [neurofeedback] Training (LZT), and how the methods and clinical experience have evolved. Starting with the simple use of live Z-scores to view EEG parameters and do simple training, we have evolved the practice into a comprehensive multichannel whole-head approach with an […]
In a recent meta-analysis involving biofeedback for the treatment of migraine, Grade A evidence [6] was found for the efficacy of the above methods which proved stable over a 17 month follow-up phase [5]. Numerous studies explore peripheral biofeedback [5], but scant studies exist on using neurofeedback methods to treat migraine [7-11]. Although the current […]

They also offered to provide logistical support that includes study design and implementation and assistance navigating the grant application process. The goal: to significantly increase the number of quality, publishable neurofeedback clinical trials. This announcement comes on a busy week […]
Washington Post writer, Katherine Ellison, is on a roll with generally positive coverage of neurofeedback. BMED Report previously informed our readers of the call for more strict oversight of persons who offer neurotherapy in “The Washington Post Calls For Increased Regulation Of Neurofeedback.” In her follow-up neurofeedback-related article, she reports that a “study may show […]
Washington Post writer, Katherine Ellison, briefly overviews a bonafide problem for the field of neurofeedback: inadequate licensure requirements for neurotherapists. BMED Report seldom calls for increased regulation of any kind, but this is sorely needed to “help protect their industry’s reputation from quacks,” as Ellison points out.
