Types of attention and the difference between neurofeedback, cognitive training and regular computer games
Dr. Daniel Ben Eliezer, Chief psychologist, Excellent Brain We are often asked about the difference between neurofeedback and computer games, as well as the difference between neurofeedback and computerized cognitive tasks that do not involve EEG (but only include exercises that require focusing, memory, or thinking). To address these questions, we will first review […]
The learning mechanism underlying neurofeedback training for ADHD, as opposed to pharmacotherapy
Dr. Daniel Ben Eliezer Chief psychologist, Excellent Brain Currently, the most common treatment for attention deficit disorder (ADHD) is pharmacological. As I mentioned in a previous article, the most common medications for ADHD are stimulants that delay the reabsorption of dopamine and norepinephrine at certain synapses in the brain, thus causing a stronger effect on […]
EXCELLENT BRAIN FOR SENIORS / “YAD EZER LAHEVER”
We live in an age where life expectancy is rising moment by moment. The prevailing estimate is that in the next decade, people aged 65 and over will make up about 15% of the population, and about 5% will watch away from the age of 80. These populations, most often, complain about suboptimal quality of […]

NEUROFEEDBACK – TRAINING THE BRAIN WAVES TO IMPROVE ATTENTION
This article on neurofeedback, written by an excellent entrepreneur and founder of the Excellent Brain company, Ofer A. Lidsky, was published in the Carousel Magazine, a website for attention and concentration of Tel Aviv University. The human brain is made up of two main types of cells, glial cells and nerve cells called neurons. The […]
Neurofeedback Explanation
The training kits and programs that Excellent Brain develops and markets operate using neurofeedback technology. Neurofeedback is a ‘brain training’ method developed in the early 1970s. The scientific rationale for neurofeedback is based on the ‘principle of repetition’ and receiving immediate positive feedback. In this way, the brain can be ‘taught’ to create a ‘positive […]
ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEUROFEEDBACK AND BIOFEEDBACK
By Ofer Lidsky – Excellent Brain Ltd. ———————— One of the most common questions that comes to an excellent mind is ‘what is the difference between neurofeedback and biofeedback?’ Many people do not know or understand the difference between these two common methods. The term biofeedback means giving feedback through the measurement of biological parameters. […]
Validation of Electroencephalographic Recordings Obtained with a Consumer-Grade, Single Dry Electrode, Low-Cost Device: A Comparative Study
Abstract The functional validity of the signal obtained with low-cost electroencephalography (EEG) devices is still under debate. Here, we have conducted an in-depth comparison of the EEG-recordings obtained with a medical-grade golden-cup electrodes ambulatory device, the SOMNOwatch + EEG-6, vs those obtained with a consumer-grade, single dry electrode low-cost device, the NeuroSky MindWave, one of […]
Sustained effects of neurofeedback in ADHD: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ABSTRACT Neurofeedback (NF) has gained increasing interest in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Given learning principles underlie NF, lasting clinical treatment effects may be expected. This systematic review and meta-analysis addresses the sustainability of neurofeedback and control treatment effects by considering randomized controlled studies that conducted follow-up (FU; 2–12 months) assessments among children with ADHD. […]
