“…An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that neurofeedback is a potential and non-pharmacological supportive treatment for many neurological and psychiatric disorders which are accompanied by abnormal patterns of cortical activity such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; Arns et al, 2009; Duric et al, 2012; Moriyama et al, 2012), depression (Choi et al, 2011; Dias and van Deusen, 2011), substance abuse (Sokhadze et al, 2008), and schizophrenia (Bolea, 2010; Nan et al, 2012a; Surmeli et al, 2012). In addition to clinical applications, neurofeedback has also shown the potential for skills enhancement in healthy individuals (Vernon, 2005; Gruzelier et al, 2006; Gruzelier, 2013a), e.g., cognitive abilities (Vernon et al, 2003; Hanslmayr et al, 2005; Zoefel et al, 2011), memory (Nan et al, 2012b; Wang and Hsieh, 2013), peripheral visual performance (Nan et al, 2013), creativity and artistic performance (Egner and Gruzelier, 2003; Gruzelier, 2009, 2013b; Gruzelier et al, 2010).…”
