Excellent Brain Partners with Scholas Occurrentes to Bring ADHD Neurofeedback Training to Schools and Universities Worldwide - Founded in 2015 and based in Israel, Excellent Brain Ltd. develops neurofeedback-based brain-training technology designed to support attention and focus. Its Trainer Kit, is used by clinics, schools, ...

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 ...

What Is Neurofeedback? - Whenever I mention that neurofeedback helped me regain my life after my multiple brain injuries — or that I’m now a neurofeedback provider — the first reaction is to ask me, what is neurofeedback? I’m ...

What Does a Neurofeedback Technician Do? - Neurofeedback is about helping a client's brain learn to self-regulate by showing it its own EEG activity on a screen or through headphones. It is like going to the gym for your brain. It is not a ...

A Brain Changer for ADHDers? Neurofeedback’s Effect on Brain Waves - Neurofeedback has long been touted as a non-medical, non-invasive treatment for ADHD, but many experts remain skeptical. Unlike medication, neurofeedback hasn’t been tested in many well-designed, ...

Isolated Aphasia as an Epileptic Manifestation of Neurosarcoidosis: A Case Report - Acute aphasia requires urgent evaluation for stroke, but recurrent and stereotyped language disturbances may also reflect focal seizures. We report the case of a 23-year-old man brought to the emergency department (ED) with aphasia that had been present for approximately six hours. Over the preceding week, he had experienced several similar but briefer episodes that had resolved spontaneously. ...

Spectral network determinants of seizure-like synchronization and spread in coupled Hindmarsh-Rose brain models - Epileptic seizures are increasingly studied as network-level dynamical events, but it remains difficult to relate local bursting mechanisms to topology-dependent synchronization and spread. We study this issue in a reduced graph model of diffusively coupled Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) bursting units. Each node is interpreted as a mesoscopic excitable element rather than a literal single neuron, and sei...

Prolonged intervals persist beyond epileptologist referral in corpus callosotomy: A referral odyssey analysis - CONCLUSION: Prolonged intervals occurred both before and after epileptologist referral, particularly during the period before comprehensive inpatient evaluation, suggesting that referral alone may be insufficient and that comprehensive inpatient evaluation may be important in streamlining the pathway to CC.

The association between epilepsy self-management and perceived stigma in adults with epilepsy: a cross-sectional study - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between epilepsy self-management and perceived stigma among adults with epilepsy and to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with perceived stigma.

Shared molecular pathways in pediatric genetic epilepsies: Insights from a single-center cohort of 80 patients - OBJECTIVE: Genetic epilepsies in childhood are highly heterogeneous, and approaches to identify shared biological mechanisms across distinct genetic etiologies remain limited. We aimed to investigate whether genes associated with pediatric genetic epilepsies in our heterogeneous cohort converge on common functional pathways.

Localization and anticipation of seizure onset and propagation using network architecture of pathological high-frequency oscillations - OBJECTIVE: In focal epilepsies, seizures originate from a presumed seizure onset zone (SOZ) and propagate through a network of dynamically interconnected brain regions. Accurate identification of the SOZ and propagation pathways is critical for surgical planning in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. We tested the hypothesis that pathological high-frequency oscillation (pHFO) network propert...

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.
