In the 1960s, Maurice Barry Sterman began his career as a neuroscience researcher at Sepulveda VA Medical Center and, later, at the University of California, Los Angeles. He started by adding electroencephalograms (EEGs) to a research project on autonomic response patterns and emotional states. The results of this research spurred Sterman to explore whether it might be possible to alter EEG patterns through stimulation of certain brain regions, particularly the basal forebrain region. This interest and curiosity led to the now-familiar research with cats and the “discovery” of the sensorimotor rhythm.
20世纪60年代,莫里斯·巴里·斯特曼(Maurice Barry Sterman)开始了他的职业生涯,先是在塞普尔韦达退伍军人医疗中心(Sepulveda VA Medical Center)担任神经科学研究员,后来又在加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California, Los Angeles)工作。他首先将脑电图(eeg)添加到一个研究自主反应模式和情绪状态的项目中。这项研究的结果促使斯特曼探索是否有可能通过刺激某些大脑区域,特别是基底前脑区域来改变脑电图模式。这种兴趣和好奇心导致了现在熟悉的对猫的研究和感觉运动节奏的“发现”。

This article shares personal reflections on the influence that Maurice Barry Sterman has had on the field of neurofeedback and on the personal lives and careers of two recruits to the field, a psychologist and a neurologist, both of whom pivoted from traditional careers to learn about applied psychophysiology. They comment on the scientific rigor of his work and, additionally, share personal anecdotes that give a glimpse of the man behind the science.

The theory of full correspondence posits that all placebo-induced effects are accompanied by corresponding subjective experiences. It was first put forward as a means of explaining the nature of the placebo effect and of reconciling the leading approaches to the phenomenon in a single overarching theory. In this paper, we examine several points of contact between full correspondence and biofeedback research and consider some of their clinical and experimental implications.

Head, neck, shoulder, and back problems increase as people tend to do less physical movement and more static activities such as working at the computer, attending Zoom meetings, driving, or looking at their cell phones. This discomfort may be caused by chronic low-level muscle tension of which the person is unaware. This article describes simple somatic and electromyographic feedback techniques to allow the person to become aware of their covert muscle tension. With this awareness, the participant can begin to implement behavior changes to reduce symptoms. Provided are guidelines and suggestions on how to implement these practices and behavior changes.

The purpose of this article is to review the evidence for the efficacy of treating major depressive disorder with neurofeedback using an electroencephalogram (EEG) and/or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), as well as with biofeedback using electromyography (EMG) and heart rate variability (HRV). We summarized 33 peer-reviewed manuscripts reporting on the efficacy of one or more of these protocols, organized by randomized control trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental designs, and case studies of various designs. We evaluated these manuscripts by mapping them onto the “Template for Developing Guidelines for the Evaluation of Clinical Efficacy of Psychophysiological Interventions” (LaVaque et al., 2002). In summary, at least two RCTs have shown that both neurofeedback and biofeedback are superior to bona fide treatments in treating participants diagnosed with major depressive disorder. As such, both neurofeedback and biofeedback meet the LaVaque and colleagues' criteria for Level 5 – Efficacious and Specific. The details for efficacy are discussed within the context of the protocols, participant characteristics, and study design.
本文的目的是回顾脑电图(EEG)和/或功能性磁共振成像(fMRI)神经反馈以及肌电图(EMG)和心率变异性(HRV)生物反馈治疗重度抑郁症疗效的证据。我们通过随机对照试验(rct)、准实验设计和不同设计的案例研究,总结了33篇同行评议的报告这些方案中一个或多个方案疗效的手稿。我们通过将这些手稿映射到“制定心理生理干预临床疗效评估指南模板”(LaVaque et al., 2002)来评估这些手稿。总之,至少有两项随机对照试验表明,神经反馈和生物反馈在治疗被诊断为重度抑郁症的参与者方面都优于真诚的治疗。因此,神经反馈和生物反馈都符合LaVaque和同事的5级标准-有效和特异性。疗效的细节将在方案、参与者特征和研究设计的背景下讨论。

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can be considered a phantom pain because the sensations of CIPN have no concurrent input into the nervous system. In fact, the damage that is done to the peripheral nerves is, as we know to date, irreversible. There are limited data supporting the use of neuromodulatory techniques to treat CIPN and no trials with aims for prevention. The objective of this article is to review current research on neurofeedback to treat CIPN.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychophysiological disorder characterized by chronic sympathetic nervous system activation, persisting perceptual/sensory vigilance for threats, and recurrent distressing memories of a traumatic event. Persons with PTSD frequently experience intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks lived as if in the present moment. Many also exhibit a persisting negative emotional state, including fear, anger, guilt, and shame (Badour et al., 2017; Moss, 2017). PTSD often produces significant disability, lowered quality of life, and functional impairment (Alonso et al., 2004). The syndrome and symptoms of PTSD have been reported since the early 1800s and described under various diagnostic labels as exhaustion, irritable heart, Da Costa syndrome, and shell shock. Kardiner (1941) described the condition as a physioneurosis, a disorder that is both physiological and psychological. The psychophysiological basis of PTSD calls for psychophysiologically based interventions. Bessel van der Kolk has highlighted the problems in PTSD with affect regulation and called for mind–body interventions such as yoga and neurofeedback (NF) to enhance affective self-regulation (van der Kolk, 2014; van der Kolk et al., 2014, 2016). The purpose of this article is to review the published research on applications of biofeedback (BFB) and NF treatment of PTSD. Much of the research on this topic is still exploratory; several studies were conducted to show the viability of specific protocols. Accordingly, the review will include pilot studies, quasi-experimental studies, and randomized controlled studies. There is an emerging body of research on whether BFB or NF training before combat deployment or before childbirth can prevent the development of PTSD (Hourani et al., 2016; Pyne et al., 2019; Schlesinger et al., 2020). This important research will not be reviewed here.
创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)是一种心理生理障碍,其特征是慢性交感神经系统激活,对威胁持续保持知觉/感觉警觉,以及反复出现创伤事件的痛苦记忆。患有创伤后应激障碍的人经常经历侵入性记忆、噩梦和闪回,仿佛生活在当下。许多人还表现出持续的消极情绪状态,包括恐惧、愤怒、内疚和羞耻(Badour et al., 2017;苔藓,2017)。PTSD通常会导致严重的残疾、生活质量下降和功能障碍(Alonso et al., 2004)。创伤后应激障碍的症候群和症状自19世纪初就有报道,并被描述为各种诊断标签,如疲惫、心脏易激、达科斯塔综合征和炮弹休克。Kardiner(1941)将这种情况描述为生理神经官能症,一种生理和心理双重障碍。PTSD的心理生理基础要求以心理生理为基础的干预措施。Bessel van der Kolk强调了创伤后应激障碍与情感调节的问题,并呼吁身心干预,如瑜伽和神经反馈(NF),以增强情感自我调节(van der Kolk, 2014;van der Kolk et al., 2014,2016)。本文就生物反馈(BFB)和NF治疗创伤后应激障碍的研究进展进行综述。关于这一主题的许多研究仍然是探索性的;进行了几项研究,以证明具体方案的可行性。因此,审查将包括试点研究、准实验研究和随机对照研究。关于战斗部署前或分娩前的BFB或NF训练是否可以预防PTSD的发展,有一个新兴的研究机构(Hourani et al., 2016;Pyne et al., 2019;Schlesinger et al., 2020)。这项重要的研究在此不作回顾。
