Outline
  • Description and uses
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • How does it work?
  • Brainwave scanning
  • Why is this important?
  • Commercially available neurofeedback products

3
Neurofeedback Description
  • Elaborate EEG scanning of the brain
  • Computer feedback
  • Operant conditioning of desired brainwave
    patterns

4
Therapeutic uses
  • Therapeutic entrainment of rhythms to alleviate
  • PTSD
  • Anxiety
  • Addiction
  • Depression
  • Epilepsy
  • OCD
  • Bipolar
  • Autism
  • Phobias
  • ADD/ADHD

5
AD/HD
  • Symptoms include
  • Inattentiveness
  • Impulsiveness
  • Hyperactivity
  • Up to 12 of children meet DSM-IV criteria
  • Likely to continue into adulthood
  • Causes
  • Genetic component
  • Cultural component
  • Neurological component

6
AD/HD Brainwaves
  • Abnormal Beta1 activity
  • Abnormal Theta activity
  • Neurofeedback allows patient to learn to shift
    brainwave patterning

Conclusion
  • Neuroscience as an alternative to
    pharmaceuticals?
  • Longer length of action
  • Less dependency issues
  • Neurofeedback toys available to the public
  • Technology created at faster rate than policy
  • Establish safety guidelines?
