This article is very old. It is still a very well researched and valuable article. The neuro-feedback mentioned is an active form, true neuro-feedback. It requires the active participation of the patient. Some of the therapies are designed as video games. The patient advances by regulating the waveforms to a more proper and balanced value.

It should not be misinterpreted to support passive neuro-therapy like LENS or ROSHI.

In fact, the practitioners of QEEG based neuro-feedback need to be skilled at helping the patient moderate the wave forms. It can be very valuable with ADD/ADHD. The skilled practitioners can show a patient how they can refocus their mind to be a more productive and organized mind.

Dr. Cory Hammond has used it to help patients overcome OCD behaviors. He has also worked with and written about LENS type systems. From what I can tell from his writings, he sees them as distinctly different.

If you are going to try this type of neuro-feedback, The ISNR.org (International Society for Neurofeedback and Research, previously Neuronal Regulation) and BCIA.org have referral lists available. Practitioners have a variety of degrees, from BS/BA to MS to M.D. to Ph.D. or Psych.D. The more important concern is to find a practitioner who has a track record of success with the symptoms that you are dealing with.
