Introduction: Visuospatial ability may explain individual differences in the extent of motor skill learning. This study tested whether frontoparietal functional connectivity at rest, measured by resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) coherence, is related to both visuospatial performance and motor skill acquisition (an early stage of motor learning). Methods: Across 21 participants, the following data were retrospectively analyzed: 2-min eyes-closed resting-state EEG, the Visuospatial/Constructional Index score from the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), and five practice trials of a functional motor task. Right frontoparietal coherence in the alpha band (8–12 Hz) was computed with imaginary coherence (IC) between electrodes F4 and P4, with ICs from left and midline electrodes included as negative controls. Results: F4–P4 alpha IC was highly correlated with the RBANS Visuospatial/Constructional Index, while left and midline alpha ICs were not. However, there was no correlation between right frontoparietal alpha IC with skill acquisition. Conclusion: This study supports that right frontoparietal IC is positively related with visuospatial function, yet the limited dose of motor practice (five trials) in the retrospective dataset was not inherently designed to investigate motor skill acquisition per se. However, results show proof of concept for developing right frontoparietal alpha IC-based neurofeedback applications for visuospatial training.

The term long-COVID refers to a wide array of psychological impacts arising from infection with the Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus has been reported to attack the nervous system directly, with nondirect impacts to organs and systems, such as elevated inflammation, blood pressure, and immune responses also damaging the brain. The electroencephalogram (EEG) has been used to image these insults and provides a valuable tool to guide understanding of infection mechanisms and, consequentially, therapeutic intervention. Due to the high likelihood of neurological complications, neurofeedback and other forms of neuromodulation may be particularly well suited to help long-COVID patients recover. However, clinicians providing neuromodulation interventions should be aware of, and take adequate steps to minimize, risks to themselves and others in providing face-to-face services. This review seeks to provide mental health professionals with an overview of the impacts of COVID-19 upon the nervous system, details current EEG findings, and outlines possibly relevant neurofeedback and neuromodulation interventions.

This case example reports how a 32-year-old female student with chronic headaches since age 18 became headache-free after one session of breathing and posture coaching. She self-medicated and took between 2 and 10 Excedrin tablets per week. The class coaching session focused on shifting her habitual thoracic breathing to slower lower abdominal diaphragmatic breathing and posture retraining. While working at the computer, she used an app installed on her computer that provided visual and auditory feedback each time she slouched. She used the app 2–6 hours per day for 2 weeks, and each time in response to the slouching feedback she sat up erect and breathed slower and lower. After the first coaching session and for the following 14 weeks, she has been headache-free and not used any medications. After implementing breathing and posture changes, she also reported significant reduction in shoulder pain, back pain, depression, anxiety, and improvement in motivation. We recommend that when college students report headaches, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress that they are first offered self-mastery interventions.
