Is neurofeedback only for problems?
• Quite the contrary! Another major focus of neurofeedback research is to develop enhanced performance. In fact, over 20 years ago there was a sort of fad about Alpha training. Serious and professional work along those lines has continued and there is now much better science underlying this work. To some people, perhaps solving problems may seem to be more than making personal performance advances. In actuality, there is not that much difference. Much of the work with ‘problems’ is really trying to find ways to teach people to self-regulate their functions and thus better realize their innate potential and improve their performance. • Very few researchers are specializing their study of neurofeedback to help people make better decisions, fulfill dreams, achieve higher levels of physical performance, and the like. But most all neurofeedback providers have a lot of interest in this and regard it to be a very significant work.
Quite the contrary. Another major focus of neurofeedback research is to develop enhanced performance. In fact, over 20 years ago there was a “fad” about Alpha training. Professional work along these lines has continued and there is now much better science and more understanding underlying this work. In actuality, there is not that much difference between improving the performance of a “normal” individual and working with someone who has ADD. Many of the techniques used with “problems” are really trying to find ways to teach people to self-regulate their functions and thus better realize their innate potential and improve their performance. These techniques can help us all. Very few researchers are specializing their study of neurofeedback to help people make better decisions, fulfill dreams, achieve higher levels of physical performance, and the like. But most all neurofeedback providers have a lot of interest in this and regard it to be very significant work.
