What Is Neurofeedback Therapy? -
Neurofeedback is a noninvasive form of therapy that trains the brain to improve various neurological issues, including chronic pain, ADHD, anxiety, depression and PTSD. Using EEG to monitor real-time ...
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 ...
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 ...
Neurofeedback Gains Popularity and Lab Attention -
You sit in a chair, facing a computer screen, while a clinician sticks electrodes to your scalp with a viscous goop that takes days to wash out of your hair. Wires from the sensors connect to a ...
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 ...

Artificial Intelligence for Improving the Management of People With Epilepsy in Low-and-Middle Income Countries -
CONCLUSIONS: AI-driven approaches demonstrate feasibility for addressing diagnostic and monitoring gaps in resource-limited settings. However, implementation faces substantial challenges including infrastructure constraints, limited digital literacy, ethical considerations, and sociocultural factors. Successful deployment requires validation with large locally relevant datasets, context-adapted...
Enhancing the cognitive, psychological, and social outcomes of adults undergoing surgery for focal drug-resistant epilepsy: protocol for a scoping review -
INTRODUCTION: Achieving seizure control remains a primary objective of epilepsy surgery but other important patient-centred outcomes should not be overlooked. Despite the need for more holistic approaches supporting well-being over and above seizure control, scant empirical research has identified effective interventions aimed at improving adults' cognitive, psychological, and/or social outcome...
The translocator protein antagonist ONO-2952 attenuates neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis in an epilepsy rat model -
Epilepsy is a globally prevalent chronic neurological disorder, and translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO)-mediated neuroinflammation plays a critical role in epilepsy pathogenesis. This study aimed to explore the effect of the translocator protein 18 kDa antagonist ONO-2952 on neuroinflammation and cognitive function in epilepsy by establishing a mature epileptic rat model, which was divided into ...
A dual-modality workflow for quantifying microvascular structure in human temporal lobe epilepsy -
Microvascular remodeling is implicated in the pathophysiology of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, characterizing these changes in adult human surgical tissue is methodologically limited by the accumulation of lipofuscin, an autofluorescent pigment that obscures microvascular structures and confounds standard automated quantification. To address this, we developed a dual-mod...
LINAC-based stereotactic radiosurgery targeting the hippocampus in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: a single-center case series -
CONCLUSIONS: LINAC-based stereotactic radiosurgery targeting the hippocampal head and anterior body achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in seizure frequency in selected patients with drug-resistant MTLE. However, complete seizure freedom was not achieved, and delayed adverse events were observed.
Vagus nerve stimulation in pediatric patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome: a systematic review -
CONCLUSION: VNS yields results that suggest potential utility in the management of LGS. While the ideal scenario would require randomized clinical trials with representative and exclusive samples for the syndrome, as well as standardized stimulation protocols, it is understood that methodological limitations exist when dealing with a rare syndrome. Therefore, the importance of this systematic r...
