Default Biofeedback works for PD

But how well? If anyone has access to this study, I sure would like to see the numbers. It might be that modification of our exercise routines and the addition of some simple hardware to generate feedback plus meditation (recently shown to stimulate neuron growth) could make the difference.


"'Self-regulation of brain activity in humans based on real-time feedback is emerging as a powerful technique. In this study, we assessed whether patients with Parkinson's disease are able to alter their brain activity to improve their motor function.

'We found that the five patients who received neurofeedback were able to increase activity in brain networks important for movements and that this intervention resulted in an overall improvement in motor speed - in this case, finger tapping.'"
