EEG Operant Conditioning (biofeedback) and Traumatic Brain Injury [abs.]
by Thatcher RW
ABSTRACT
A review is presented of the currently sparse literature about EEG operant conditioning or biofeedback as a treatment to reduce symptomology and patient complaints following a traumatic brain injury.

The Elusive Nature of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury [pdf]
by Swatzyna RJ, PhD
ABSTRACT
The author discloses a personal history of undiagnosed mild traumatic brain injury (MBTI) and identifies a typical course and progression of this condition. He advocates a careful inquiry for possible head injury whenever the clinical history shows an original period of normal functioning, a progression of disturbance over time, multiple diagnoses, and poor response to treatment with medication.
Research Papers
Improvement/Rehabilitation of Memory Functioning with Neurotherapy/QEEG biofeedback [abs.]
by Thornton K
ABSTRACT
This article presents a new approach to the remediation of memory deficits by studying the electrophysiological functioning involved in memory and applying biofeedback techniques. A Quantitative EEG (QEEG) activation database was obtained with 59 right-handed subjects during two auditory memory tasks (prose passages and word lists). Memory performance was correlated with the QEEG variables.
Flexyx Neurotherapy System in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury: An Initial Evaluation [abs.]
by Schoenberger NE, Shif SC, Esty ML, Ochs L, Matheis RJ
ABSTRACT
Twelve people aged 21 to 53 who had experienced mild to moderately severe closed head injury at least 12 months previously and who reported substantial cognitive difficulties after injury, which interfered with their functioning.
