the attractivity of the occupation (interest) seems to be a hard factor for
efficacy. i wonder, if a play station f.e., being run by brainwaves, could
multiply the effect.
modern nfb-softwares, with or without extra-device, allow nearly all electrical
things (train, car race...)
to run with feedback-sounds.

A few years ago a NASA-derived company, or so they called themselves, had

Ben - thanks very much for the piece on operant conditioning. In a
discussion on the relative benefits of high/low stimulus feedback recently on
the ADD_ADHD Biofeedback group, the following was posted by Larry Hirshberg.
In the light of your observations, I'd be interested to hear what you make of
it. Many thanks. Melissa.
A study conducted at Eastern Virgina Medical School, and
conducted together with the NASA Langley Research Center, compared the
results of EEG biofeedback with the PlayStation based system to a very
widely used, high quality standard neurofeedback system - the Thought
Technology Procomp hardware /Mutlitrace software neurofeedback system.
22 children with ADHD were randomly assigned to either the PlayStation
or the standard system and received 40 sessions.
Results of standard behavioral measures and of EEG change before and
after the 40 sessions were compared. Both groups improved significantly
in the behavioral measures and EEG; *there were no significant
differences in the degree of change. *(There were trends in favor of
the Playstation system for EEG change.) Parents subjective reports of
the treatment effect was more favorable for the PlayStation group, and
both parents and kids rated the experience as being significantly more
enjoyable with the Playstation system.
