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. […]

Dopamine and Neurofeedback

Dopamine is a central chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) of the brain. The lack or excess of dopamine has a large effect in various disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, Parkinson’s disease and finally attention deficit disorder.
