Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) creates a variety of sequelae such as aphasia that can be highly challenging for clinicians when developing rehabilitation interventions. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of LORETA z -score neurofeedback (LZNFB) on language performance for a 21-year-old male suffering from aphasia following TBI. To this end, LZNFB was applied while focusing on the language network for 15 sessions. The study used an experimental design with a pre–post comparison. Baseline and posttreatment comparisons were made on qEEG/LORETA metrics, aphasia symptoms, working memory, and attention. The results indicated clinical improvements in language, working memory, and attention performances after 15 sessions of LZNFB. Our findings suggest that LZNFB may have the potential to aid language performance among those with TBI.
期刊介绍：
NeuroRegulation is a peer-reviewed journal providing an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on clinically relevant research, treatment, reviews, and public policy for neuroregulation and neurotherapy. NeuroRegulation publishes important findings in these fields with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG), neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback), quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), psychophysiology, biofeedback, heart rate variability, photobiomodulation, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (rTMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS); with a focus on treatment of psychiatric, mind-body, and neurological disorders. In addition to research findings and reviews, it is important to stress that publication of case reports is always useful in furthering the advancement of an intervention for both clinical and normative functioning. We strive for high quality and interesting empirical topics presented in a rigorous and scholarly manner. The journal draws from expertise inside and outside of the International Society for Neurofeedback & Research (ISNR) to deliver material which integrates the diverse aspects of the field, to include: *basic science *clinical aspects *treatment evaluation *philosophy *training and certification issues *technology and equipment
