Full title: Predicting successful learning of SMR neurofeedback in healthy participants: methodological considerations.
Neurofeedback (NF) is a tool that has proven helpful in the treatment of various disorders such as epilepsy or attention deficit disorder (ADHD). Depending on the respective application, a high number of training sessions might be necessary before participants can voluntarily modulate the electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythms as instructed. In addition, many individuals never learn to do so despite numerous training sessions. Thus, we are interested in determining whether or not performance during the early training sessions can be used to predict if a participant will learn to regulate the EEG rhythms. Here, we propose an easy to use, but accurate method for predicting the performance of individual participants. We used a sample set of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR 12-15 Hz) NF training sessions (experiment 1) to predict the performance of the participants of another study (experiment 2). We then used the data obtained in experiment 2 to predict the performance of participants in experiment 1. We correctly predicted the performance of 12 out of 13 participants in the first group and all 14 participants in the second group; however, we were not able to make these predictions before the end of the eleventh training session.

Over the past few years the subject of bullying and bullies has once again achieved the national spotlight. However, this topic is not new. Just watch films about children that were made in the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s to see numerous examples of children bullying one another. It appears that bullying is a phenomenon that has always and always will be with us.
So, what is bullying and why does it occur? This form of aggressive behavior naturally happens within any group or society as part of setting up orders of dominance. Just observe a litter of pups or a flow of birds. This Darwinian...
When I work with bodybuilders, I teach them the relationship between how they conceive the shape of their body and how it actually is. Going further, I show them how by changing their mental image of their body, they can actually accelerate improving their strength, building up muscle mass, and burning off fat. Even though most people are more concerned about losing a few pounds and improving their physical fitness and not winning a bodybuilding competition, these lessons may very well apply to them as well.
The brain maintains a map of every organ and cell of our body. When we are ill, a...
