Abstract Neurofeedback has begun to attract the attention and scrutiny of scientific medical mainstream. Here, neurofeedback researchers present a consensus-derived checklist that aims improve reporting experimental design standards in field.
Abstract Psychopathic individuals are characterized by impaired affective processing, impulsivity, sensation-seeking, poor planning skills and heightened aggressiveness with self-regulation. Based on brain self-regulation studies using neurofeedback of Slow Cortical Potentials (SCPs) in disorders associated a dysregulation cortical activity thresholds evidence deficient functioning psychopathy, neurobiological approach seems to be promising the treatment psychopathy. The results our...
Cognitive phenomena such as the Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect can arise in fronto-parietal cortical network. Prior neuromodulation studies with cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over left prefrontal cortex (PFC) reduced SNARC effect. neuroimaging functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), however, showed signatures posterior parietal (PPC). In this study, we investigated distant neural on hemodynamic activity by combining tDCS fNIRS....
The diminished fear reactivity is one of the most valid physiological findings in psychopathy research. In a conditioning paradigm, with faces as conditioned stimulus (CS) and electric shock unconditioned (US), we investigated sample 14 high psychopathic violent offenders. Event related potentials, skin conductance responses (SCR) well subjective ratings CSs were collected. This study assessed to which extent different facets construct contribute deficits observed psychopaths. Participants...
Abstract Over the past decades, functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has become a valuable tool in online assessment of brain function psychological and neuropsychiatric research. Recently, fNIRS also been employed context neurofeedback (NF), with pilot studies indicating that hemodynamic responses can be deliberately regulated neuroplastic changes occur over course several training sessions. This review article provides comprehensive overview recent implementation development as an...
Neurofeedback is a promising tool for treatment and rehabilitation of several patient groups. In this proof principle study, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based neurofeedback frontal cortical areas was investigated in healthy adults. Main aims were the assessment learning, effects on performance working memory (n-back) task impact applied strategies regulation. 13 participants underwent 8 sessions NIRS within two weeks to learn voluntarily up-regulate hemodynamic activity prefrontal...
Abstract Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood onset persisting into adulthood for large proportion of cases. Neurofeedback (NF) has shown promising results in children with ADHD, but randomized controlled trials adults ADHD are scarce. We aimed to compare slow cortical potential (SCP)- and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) NF semi-active electromyography biofeedback (EMG-BF) control condition regarding changes symptoms the impact learning success, as...
Previous studies suggest that theta burst stimulation (TBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic (rTMS), applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) might be promising approach modulate stress-reactive rumination and associated psychophysiological stress response. Crucially, individuals showing higher levels trait benefit more from stimulation. In this sham-controlled study, 127 healthy individuals, with varying ruminative tendencies, received single-session...
This checklist is intended to encourage robust experimental design and clear reporting for clinical cognitive-behavioural neurofeedback experiments.
Neurofeedback (NF) is a form of behavioral therapy used to treat e.g. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Briefly, subjects are fed-back putatively dysfunctional parameter their brain activity in real time and must learn control it suggested direction. NF protocols for ADHD have been practice decades, though no clear standards on design implemented. Furthermore, studies often present only data from the general outcome treatment do not look at how exactly paradigm affects...
Findings on neurophysiological alterations in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been proposed to underlie ADHD symptoms, with different etiological pathways for patient biotypes. We aimed at determining whether deviations confirm distinct profiles ADHD, thus providing direct evidence the endophenotype concept.Neurophysiological biotypes were investigated 87 adult patients using cluster analysis. Parameters fed into analysis comprised both hemodynamic and...
Abstract Higher impulsivity may arise from neurophysiological deficits of cognitive control in the prefrontal cortex. Cognitive can be assessed by time‐frequency decompositions electrophysiological data. We aimed to clarify neuroelectric mechanisms performance monitoring connection with impulsiveness during a modified Eriksen flanker task high‐ ( n = 24) and low‐impulsive subjects 21) whether these are modulated double‐blind, sham‐controlled intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). found...
Zusammenfassung. Zielsetzung: Die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) im Erwachsenenalter tritt sehr häufig gemeinsam mit Störungen des Substanzkonsums (SUD) auf. Es gibt Befunde, dass beide Erkrankungen veränderten neuronalen Prozessen in frontalen Netzwerken assoziiert sind, was Einklang aufgezeigten Beeinträchtigungen Exekutivfunktionen (EF) steht. Dieser Übersichtsartikel wird den aktuellen Forschungsstand darstellen und darauf eingehen, inwiefern EF einen verbindenden...
In neuroimaging research, efforts to enhance replication and reproducibility have increased the focus on improving transparency, particularly in complex data analysis processes. We conducted a multi-lab collaborative study involving 38 international teams that analyzed two functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) datasets. These tested seven group-level forty individual-level hypotheses, they submitted detailed reports their pipelines testing outcomes. The results showed significant...
Significance A shared understanding of terminology is essential for clear scientific communication and minimizing misconceptions. This particularly challenging in rapidly expanding, interdisciplinary domains that utilize functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), where researchers come from diverse backgrounds apply their expertise fields such as engineering, neuroscience, psychology. Aim The fNIRS Glossary Project was established to develop a community-sourced glossary covering key...
