Can Neurofeedback Effectively Treat ADHD? - Neurofeedback training is an alternative therapy that uses real-time EEG data to help patients train their brains to improve focus, impulse control, and executive function. Since the 1970s, patients ...

Rewiring Your Brain: Neurofeedback Goes Mainstream - See more of our trusted coverage when you search. Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Will Strahl walked up to my door with a massive black briefcase in his ...

Can Monitoring Brain Waves Boost Mental Health? - Neurofeedback has promised a mental health revolution for decades. But is it effective? Credit...Tony Luong for The New York Times Supported by By David Dodge Twice a week, Stephanie, a 37-year-old ...

Novel neurofeedback technique enhances awareness of mind-wandering - Everyone knows the feeling. You are trying to concentrate on driving or studying, or paying attention in a boring meeting, but suddenly, you realize that you are thinking about something irrelevant to ...

Elite athletes enhance their performance with 'neurofeedback'—and you can get a device for $99 - When you think of the training tools that professional athletes have at their disposal, high-tech sports equipment and state-of-the-art athletic facilities come to mind. But training for peak ...

More Than a Daughter: Margaret A. Lennox-Buchthal (1913-2001), Epileptologist - In a 2010 book chapter on the pioneering encephalographer Mary A.B. Brazier, PhD (1904-1995), a photo of a smiling woman is labeled "Margaret Lennox-Buchthal, wife of Fritz, daughter of William Lennox." Yet, like most women, Margaret Lennox-Buchthal, MD (1913-2001), was more than a wife and a daughter. She was an assistant professor at the Yale School of Medicine and associate professor at the ...

AI for Poststroke Epilepsy: Scoping Review of Imaging-Based Prediction Models and Implications for African Settings - CONCLUSIONS: Imaging-based AI for predicting PSS and PSE has progressed rapidly, but important methodological and geographical gaps remain. Limited external validation, heterogeneous reporting, and the absence of African development and validation cohorts restrict confidence in the generalizability of existing models. Future research should prioritize the development of explainable imaging-base...

Routing to the seizure in postoperative human glioma cortex: spatio-temporal uncoupling between slow and fast extracellular neuronal activities - CONCLUSIONS: In the periglioma human cortex, seizures arise from progressively recruited neuronal assemblies sculpted together with HFOs, providing new insights into the microphysiological processes of glioma-related ictogenesis and requiring consideration of the preictal fast and focal neuronal activity.

A novel de novo variant of CDKL5 in an Iranian child with infantile-onset refractory epilepsy - CONCLUSION: The present study can expand the mutational spectrum of CDKL5 and highlight the clinical advantage of sequencing-based genetic testing for early diagnosis and personalized therapeutic management of refractory epilepsy.

Video EEG in pediatric epilepsy: Diagnostic significance and association between frequency band power and cognitive impairment severity - CONCLUSION: VEEG demonstrated higher diagnostic performance than routine EEG, and EEG frequency band power was correlated with cognitive impairment severity.

Reversal of refractory epilepsy in an adult with GAMT deficiency: A case report and comparative literature review - OBJECTIVE: Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive creatine biosynthesis disorder. Reports specifically focusing on adult patients remain scarce.

Brain signal irregularity may provide clues to understanding epileptic process - Researchers propose a new method to differentiate signals from the epileptic focus from those recorded in other parts of the brain without the presence of an epileptic seizure. This technique may help detect epilepsy-induced features from these signals much quicker than conventional analysis techniques.

Breakthrough tech enables seizure localization in minutes - New research introduces a novel network analysis technology that uses minimally invasive resting state electrophysiological recordings to localize seizure onset brain regions and predict seizure outcomes in just 10 minutes.

Antidepressant use during pregnancy not linked to epilepsy in children - A new study suggests that antidepressant use by mothers during the first trimester of pregnancy does not increase the chances of epilepsy and seizures in babies.
