A Real Attention-Getter - S.M.A.R.T. BrainGames system
While most parents would agree that playing video games is the antithesis of time well spent for their children, recent advances involving NASA biofeedback technology are proving otherwise.

A brainwave fix for ADD - Neurofeedback offers a drug-free alternative to Ritalin
Research has shown that children with ADD/HD use more theta brain waves (those used when relaxing and sleeping) and fewer beta waves (necessary for concentrating and focusing) than people who do not have ADD/HD. The program teaches the child how to naturally increase their beta wave brain activity using high-tech computer equipment and an electroencephalograph (EEG) machine.

AN INTRODUCTION TO NEUROFEEDBACK © 2003, D. Corydon Hammond
ADD/ADHD & Learning Disabilities: Since the late 1970's, neurofeedback has been researched, refined, and tested with ADD/ADHD and learning disabilities. Clinical work with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and learning disorders by Dr. Lubar and his colleagues at the University of Tennessee and others has demonstrated that it is possible to retrain the brain. This neurofeedback research is quite strong in demonstrating its effectiveness in treating ADD/ADHD.

Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback - What is Neurofeedback?
Neurotherapy is also called "EEG Biofeedback" and "Neurofeedback." It involves helping a person learn how to modify his or her brainwave activity to improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and to control hyperactive behaviors. It is a painless, non-invasive treatment approach that allows the individual to gain information about his or her brainwave activity and use that information to produce changes in brainwave activity.

Attention deficit disorder? Try video games
The system, called Smart BrainGames, essentially monitors her son's brain waves through the use of sensors in a helmet while he plays a game. A box that can be hooked up to PS2 then initiates changes in the game. The more the player concentrates, for example, the faster a car will go in a racing game.

EEG Biofeedback: A Promising New Therapy for Attention Deficit Disorder, Learning Disabilities, and Mild Traumatic Brain Injuri
EEG Biofeedback is not a cure for ADHD, but can help these children to improve their academic performance, social skills, and most of all their self esteem (Othmer and Othmer, 1992a). Biofeedback helps ADHD children to realize that they can overcome their problems (inattention/ hyperactivity) and are not at the mercy of this disorder.

High-tech tools focus on ADHD
Kenneth Kaufman is banking on this new technology to help patients with attention and behavior problems learn to focus and complete a task. The program, called Play Attention, is new technology based on work by NASA scientists to help astronauts strengthen attention span. It comes with hardware and software that allow the client, who wears a helmet lined with electrodes that record brain waves, to move objects on the screen with only the mind's eye. Better focusing completes the task faster.

Neurofeedback Therapy May Offer Relief for ADHD
Preliminary research findings indicate that an innovative behavioral training technique using neurofeedback, which measures brain waves, can be an effective complement to conventional treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study results were presented at the 2000 Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association.

Neurotherapy for ADHD © Copyright. Behavioural Neurotherapy Clinic
Neurotherapy appears to provide a viable permanent treatment for ADHD, based on the studies reviewed. The Brain Sciences Institute (Swinburne University) is conducting a scientific investigation of the effectiveness of Neurotherapy. - Parents should be encouraged to examine the evidence as it currently stands and decide for themselves whether they wish to wait several years until the research is definitive, or accept the current research in the scientific literature as sufficient evidence to justify a clinical decision to have their child treated through Neurotherapy, particularly since the training can be done in conjunction with medical treatment.

Proof of EEG Feedback Training Effectiveness
Many different persons and institutions have questioned the effectiveness of EEG Biofeedback(neurofeedback) training for "brain problems" such as ADD/ADH, Epilepsy,Depression, Anxiety, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Autism, Brain Injury, etc. One of the statements made by various clinicians has been "There's not enough scientific data on the efficacy of EEG Biofeedback". The following bibliography and the chart (devised by Dr Jiri Tyrl in 20001) shows clearly that for all of the above that there is indeed more than sufficient proof of EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback), however, this does not mean that every clinician will believe, and/or know about it. If your clinician (AND your medical insurer) doesn't know about this very effective solution for all these brain problems, copy these lists, and give to them.

TALKING BACK TO THE BRAIN - Anxiety, ADD and more respond well to neurofeedback, says practitioner
Lubar, writing with colleagues in the winter 1996 issue of the Journal of Neurotherapy, cites 10 recent studies supporting the use of neurofeedback to treat hyperactivity. He has also published several studies since the 1970s that show that neurofeedback improves school success in children with ADD.

The Biofeedback Center - Dr George Von Hilsheimer
EEG Biofeedback is a learning strategy that enables persons to alter their brain waves. When information about a person's own brain wave characteristics is made available to him, he can learn to change them. You can think of it as exercise for the brain. EEG Biofeedback is used for many conditions and disabilities in which the brain is not working as well as it might. These include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and more severe conduct problems, specific learning disabilities, and related issues such as sleep problems in children, teeth grinding, and chronic pain such as frequent headaches or stomach pain, or pediatric migraines.

The Role of Biofeedback in Treating ADD and other Mental Symptoms
This important discovery is simply EEG biofeedback training at the frequency of 13Hz [frequencies explained below] can and does "cure" many symptoms, including those of ADD/ADHD, autism, brain damage, and even depression. (Because of the FDA, and lobbyist groups for the AMA, APA, drug manufacturers, et al, it's not safe to use the "cure" word, but instead "train").
