This article describes a specific and unique performance enhancement training paradigm for an elite heavyweight boxer currently competitive and successful in his sport. The athlete was a 27-year-old male professional boxer. He participated in our multifaceted training program beginning in 2009, though he still actively participates to date. Extensive nutritional, sport psychology, and cortical functioning assessments were conducted at baseline. The results from the training program, as judged by objective data and self-report at posttraining evaluations, are discussed here. Among the many nutritional advantages he gained, the athlete was able to decrease his risk for coronary artery disease, increase lean mass, decrease unnecessary immune system strains, and decrease body fat percentage by 6%. With regard to his mental skills, the athlete offered self-report that he is able to narrow his focus to the objective at hand and stay in a calm frame of mind both before and during his competitive rounds. His brai...

The coordination of allocation resource model of brain functioning examines the relations between quantitative EEG (QEEG) variables and cognitive performance on specific tasks. The Digit Symbol (DS) subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales has proven to be a sensitive measure in a variety of clinical conditions. A conceptually and empirically similar task (Symbol Digit [SD]) was employed to examine the QEEG correlates of successful functioning. A sample of 119 participants engaged in a modified SD test for 200 seconds while QEEG data were obtained. The participant verbally provided the matching number to the examiner to avoid any motor component of the task. There were negative relations between performance and magnitudes across almost all locations and across a wide bandwidth (0–64 Hz). Negative relations to SD performance were also observed for increased relative power of beta1, whereas positive relations were found for absolute values of coherences of alpha, beta1 (13–32 Hz), and beta2 (32–64 ...

This study examined neurofeedback training, reading humorous stories, and emotion in children diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). In a pre-posttest design (before and after the story), positive and negative affect were compared between controls and two experimental groups of children with AS—those beginning training ( 40 sessions). Children with AS who had more than 40 sessions of neurofeedback responded the same way to the reading materials as the normally functioning controls with increases in positive affect and decreases in negative affect. Children with AS with less than 4 sessions of neurofeedback did not display this change.

This review article summarizes some recent developments in psychiatry such as personalized medicine, employing biomarkers and endophenotypes, and developments collectively referred to as neuromodulation with a focus on ADHD. Several neurophysiological subtypes in ADHD and their relation to treatment outcome are reviewed. In older research the existence of an ‘‘abnormal EEG’’ or ‘‘paroxysmal EEG’’ was often reported, most likely explained by the high occurrence of this EEG subtype in autism, as the diagnosis of autism was not coined until 1980. This subgroup might respond best to anticonvulsant treatments, which requires more specific research. A second subgroup is a beta-excess or beta-spindling subgroup. This group responds well to stimulant medication, albeit several studies suggesting that neurophysiologically this might represent a different subgroup. The third subgroup consists of the ‘‘impaired vigilance’’ subgroup with the often-reported excess frontal theta or excess frontal alpha. This subgroup responds well to stimulant medication. Finally, it is proposed that a slow individual alpha peak frequency is an endophenotype related to treatment resistance in ADHD. Future studies should incorporate this endophenotype in clinical trials to further investigate new treatments for this substantial subgroup of patients, such as NIRSbiofeedback, transcranial Doppler sonography biofeedback, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or medications such as nicotine and piracetam.

Emotional face encoding processes in 2 types of tasks (direct and incidental) were explored in the current research through electroencephalographic (ERPs) and behavioral (response) measures. In Experiment 1 (incidental task) ERP correlates of 21 subjects were recorded when they viewed emotional (anger, sadness and happiness) or neutral facial stimuli. An emotion-specific cortical variation was found, a negative deflection at about 200 ms poststimulus (N2 effect). This effect was sensitive to the perceived emotional value of faces, since it differentiated negative high arousal (i.e., anger) from low arousal (i.e., sadness) or positive (happiness) emotions. Moreover, a specific cortical site (parietal) was activated by emotional faces but not by neutral faces. In Experiment 2 (20 subjects) a direct encoding task (emotion comprehension) was provided. We explored whether encoding for emotional faces relies on a single neural system irrespective of the task (incidental or direct), or whether it is supported by...

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are prevalent and chronic movement disorders that result in sleep deprivation and impaired quality of life. Although there is no single pathophysiological explanation, EEG studies commonly implicate alpha activity as being involved. This article presents the first case reports of the treatment of RLS and PLMS with neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback). The encouraging results warrant further controlled research.

Neurotherapeutic techniques continue to advance in sophistication and complexity, and as such so does the need to reference odd occurrences or adverse reactions as a result of training in different regions of the brain. This is important to the field of neurotherapy in addition to those practitioners who may encounter patients on medications at the time of training, and this type of information can only add to the armamentarium of tools at our disposal. We discuss noted odd occurrences that have transpired during our studies employing LORETA neurofeedback (LNFB) in both children and adults. We also discuss negative events reported by patients or parents and medications interactions with LNFB. Positive results are also discussed. The field of neurofeedback can benefit immensely from more reports of this type.
