The neuronal mechanisms underlying improvement of impulsivity in ADHD by theta/beta neurofeedback

Abstract: Neurofeedback is increasingly recognized as an intervention to treat core symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Despite the large number of studies having been carried out to evaluate its effectiveness, it is widely elusive what neuronal mechanisms related to the core symptoms of ADHD are modulated by neurofeedback. 19 children with ADHD undergoing 8 weeks of theta/beta neurofeedback and 17 waiting list controls performed a Go/Nogo task in a pre-post design. We used neurophysiological me… Show more

“…Mixed results were reported for working-memory tasks, which may be attributable to ceiling effects (Hudak et al, 2017). This is in line with the EEG-neurofeedback literature where similar effects were observed for inhibitory control tasks (Bluschke et al, 2016;Mayer et al, 2016). However, nonspecific factors (psychosocial/placebo effects) may explain a large proportion of the effect sizes found in neurofeedback studies (Ros et al, 2020;Schönenberg et al, 2017;.…”

“…In the context of mental disorders characterized by increased impulsivity and decreased inhibition (e.g., attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] and substance use disorders), electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback has been used to treat predefined EEG abnormalities in children and adults, leading to improved neural activity and less impulsive and disinhibited behaviour (Arns, Heinrich, & Strehl, ; Baumeister et al, ; Bluschke, Broschwitz, Kohl, Roessner, & Beste, ; Sokhadze, Cannon, & Trudeau, ). EEG neurofeedback is based on the spectral analysis of the EEG, which enables the digital representation of specific frequency bands (e.g., delta, theta, alpha, beta) with high temporal resolution (Andreassi, ).…”

“…NFB training seems to have long-lasting effects because learning is internalized [11] (Lubar, 1997). Evidenced of NFB´s effectiveness in improving attention and impulsive behavior [12][13][14][15] Thompson, 1998) has been documented. In these studies, the effects of NFB were very specific for situations requiring inhibitory control over responses [15] QEEG allows the determination of EEG differences between children with and without ADHD.…”
