ABSTRACT Introduction: Down syndrome is the most common identifiable cause of intellectual disability, accounting for almost one third of cases and approximately 1 in 800 births. Neurofeedback (NF) is an operant conditioning method for retraining brain wave (EEG) patterns. An increasing number of clinicians use operant conditioning of EEG activity as a method of helping children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity and Generalized Learning Disability (ADHD/ADD or GLDO). Some Down syndrome…

Post WISC-R and TOVA Improvement with QEEG Guided Neurofeedback Training in Mentally Retarded: A Clinical Case Series of Behavioral Problems
TLDR
This case series shows the impact of QEEG-guided NF training on these clients' clinical outcomes and provides the first evidence for positive effects of NF treatment in mental retardation.
Quantitative EEG and neurofeedback in children and adolescents: anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, comorbid addiction and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and brain injury.
Lens Neurofeedback Treatment with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and Neglect
TLDR
This article presents the first uncontrolled case report of neurofeedback treatment of an FASD case on the milder end of this spectrum, which resulted in significant behavioral and academic improvements that were sustained on follow-up at 42 months.
Neurofeedback: A Comprehensive Review on System Design, Methodology and Clinical Applications
TLDR
Clinical and technical information is provided about neurofeedback therapy and its effectiveness on the treatment of many diseases and applications, including treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, insomnia, drug addiction, schizophrenia and so on.
A Review of qEEG-Guided Neurofeedback
While there are literature reviews and meta-analytic coverage of neurofeedback (NF) studies that focus on traditional amplitude NF and slow cortical potential NF, the same is not true for…
The Growing Role of Neurofeedback in Integrative Medicine By
TLDR
The authors are at the threshold of revolutionary change in their approach to mental dysfunctions as they come to be seen primarily in the frame of neural network relations, and when remedies emerge based on an appeal to neural network functioning in the frequency domain, the case for a new departure in understanding mental dysfunction is consolidated.
When Discussing Neurofeedback, Does Modality Matter?
Over the years, several new models and variations of neurofeedback (NF) have been developed. As such, NF has grown from traditional amplitude based modalities to now include slow cortical potential…

Comparison between the Left and the Right Brainwaves for Delta and Theta Frequency Band after Horizontal Rotation Intervention
TLDR
By applying PSD to the artifact removed signals, results improved significantly and shows that the correlation of the left and the right brainwaves had improved for delta and theta frequency bands after HR.
Initial investigation of brainwave synchronization after five sessions of Horizontal Rotation intervention using EEG
This research investigates the effects of five sessions of Horizontal Rotation (HR) on human brainwaves synchronization using EEG. EEG signals were captured from 42 participants before and after…

TLDR
The results indicate that EEG biofeedback training, if applied comprehensively, can be highly effective in helping to remediate children who are experiencing attention deficit disorders.
Behaviour phenotype for Down's syndrome
TLDR
This study confirms there to be a behaviour phenotype among adults with Down's syndrome and establishes a better understanding of the aetiologies of maladaptive behaviours among people with learning disabilities in general.
