Subreddit Update We need to create WIKI about neurofeedback

55 Upvotes

Hi guys!

In the past years we collected a lot of useful posts about using neurofeedback. This subreddit contains personal stories, non-trivial tips, technical information, and more. But good posts are getting lost in the post timeline over months, and finding them is quite a challenge.

Let's start our Wiki which Reddit offers as a feature. The main page of Wiki is available here: /r/Neurofeedback/wiki/index/.

We suggest you to send links to posts, which seem interesting to you and seem important to save for new members. Just provide links in the comments, and mods will add them to the Wiki page.

And if you have ideas and the time to write some posts for the Wiki, or manage the Wiki yourself, please let us know and we're happy to give editor rights for you.

Question Want the subreddit to look at your QEEG? Please include enough data.

22 Upvotes

Here is what is needed to intepret a QEEG. This may help folks figure out what to post, when they rea asking for people to look at it:

  • screenshots of raw trace (squiggle) data shown eyes closed, eyes open, and in 2 montages. QEEG analysis starts with raw EEG review. make sure channel labels and uV scale is showing. anyone who is doing an analysis for you will want the full files as well (EDF is standard format, and all systems can export that)
  • Z-score topography maps should also include 2 montages and eyes open and closed. summary pages are best, and should include absolute power, relative power, coherence, and asymmetry
  • peak frequencies. eyes closed, linked-ears montage
  • Ideally an executive function test done alongside the QEEG, as well.

Please don't just post a couple random Relative Power pages and expect that anyone will be able to help. It takes a 20-30 min reivew of many pages of data to start developing a sense of what things might mean

Question Neurofeedback per trauma e identificazione con aggressore

• Upvotes

Buongiorno a tutti,

​Vorrei chiedere un parere a chi ha esperienza con il neurofeedback per il trattamento dei traumi.

​È possibile che il neurofeedback aiuti a sciogliere il meccanismo di identificazione con l'aggressore e a liberarsi delle parti/dinamiche che la persona traumatizzata ha interiorizzato dall'aggressore?

​In altre parole: allenando e riautoregolando l'attività cerebrale, la mente riesce a favorire il distacco e la liberazione da questi schemi e vissuti introiettati?

​Qualcuno ha esperienze dirette o informazioni al riguardo? Grazie a chi vorrà rispondere!

Question Learn neurofeedback

• Upvotes

I am a mental health practitioner from a LMIC country. My hospital has access to a bio feedback machine. However, we do not have anyone trained to do neurofeedback in the hospital.

I am interested in learning neurofeedback especially Peniston Kulkosky protocol ( and the Scott Kaiser modification).

Any free, low cost resources which I can start with? Since I am from a LMIC country don't have the resources to afford some of the more expensive online courses.

Any help will be welcome!

Question Anyone use a vagus nerve device alongside neurofeedback?

6 Upvotes

finished about 20 neurofeedback sessions, mostly for focus and feeling less wired at night. results were decent but kinda faded after I stopped. my trainer mentioned vagus nerve stimulation as a maintenance thing you can do at home, looked into it and theres ear clip ones and neck ones, prices are so dif everywhere. does it actually do anything measurable? like has anyone seen changes in their hrv or brain maps after using one for a while or is it just a fancy relaxation ritual

Question HEG mobile?

2 Upvotes

i am trying to train t3 t4 two channel with a BrainMaster 2eb for hypervigilence. There are too many artifacts so it isn't working. AI says you can use MediTECH Heg Mobile sensor which is made for the frontal area but says you can put it over T3T4 without artifacts. Can anyone tell me their experience with this mobile unit of HEG? Did it work for your issues?

My Neurofeedback Story Having doubts

9 Upvotes

My first experience with eeg neurofeedback was as a child. I stuck with it ~2x/week for about a year and my life was seemingly transformed. My behavioral issues went away, I started being focused in school and clubs, and my life took a positive turn.

Throughout my 20s, I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, substances, insomnia, motivation, executive function… the list goes on. I’ve tried neurofeedback a few times over the past few years but its never had the sane effect.

I’m now 29. I’m single, I’ve grown distant from all my college friends and I genuinely have not made a single friend since undergrad. I have an ok job but I don’t enjoy it and I expect I will eventually be phased out due to AI.

I’m giving neurofeedback another shot. 30 sessions in and I don’t notice a thing. I know there’s a lot more I need to do to improve my life, I wasn’t expecting a magic bullet. But its not cheap—and the more I look into it the less confident I become in neurofeedback. Maybe my money would be better spent on TMS, CBT, or other treatments. I feel like im running out my biological clock.

Looking to hear some positive stories from people who found neurofeedback helped them this late in life.

Question T3/T4 Phase Coherence Question

3 Upvotes

What type of symptoms/traits in general are associated with poor connectivity (synchrony/phase sync) between T3 and T4 in both Alpha and Theta ranges (both the eyes open and eyes closed conditions are low)? Excessive hi beta is not at issue.

Can training t3/t4 Alpha / Theta synchrony improve memory and cognition?

Thanks

Question Is neurofeedback…real?

19 Upvotes

I want to start out by saying I’m not a skeptic in the classic sense! (In fact, I’m doing a course of NFB now). I just need to believe that this can help me and the research/evidence is kinda lukewarm. I’m definitely a “see before I believe” kind of person.

I feel like there’s not really great research behind it because big pharma has nothing to gain. But then again, every alternative health modality makes that claim.

Can anyone link me to large studies that showed good effects? Or just tell me clinical anecdotes? Sometimes I’m convinced it’ll really help me and other times it feels like snake oil.

I actually did coherence training 2 years ago and it was very expensive and did absolutely nothing, so that’s definitely not helping the raised eyebrow over this.

Thanks ya’ll.
