NORMATIVE EEG DATABASES AND EEG BIOFEEDBACK
Robert W. Thatcher (University of South Florida, Bay Pines VA Healthcare System)
Abstract: Electroencephalograhic (EEG) biofeedback is an operant conditioning procedure where by an individual modifies the amplitude, frequency or coherency of the neurophysiological dynamics of their own brain (Cohen, 1975; Blanchard and Epstein, 1978; Rosenfeld, 1990). The exact physiological foundations of this process are not well understood, however, the practical ability of humans and animals to directly modify their EEG through feedback is a well established fact (Fox and Rudell, 1968; Rosenfeld et al, 1969; Hetzler et al, 1977; Sterman, 1996). The ease by which direct modifications of EEG can be accomplished is partly responsible for the rapid, almost explosive rise in the use of EEG biofeedback for the purposes of therapeutic amelioration of a wide range of psychological and neurological disorders (see reviews by Cohen, 1975; Rosenfeld, 1990; Lubar, 1997). The therapeutic application of EEG biofeedback is often referred to as and, most importantly, the therapeutic efficacy and success of Neurotherapy is a force that is driving the development and clinical application of EEG biofeedback (Lubar, 1997).
