Hemoencephalography neurofeedback – mechanism of action

Abstract

This article explains how the hemoencephalography neurofeedback works, as well as its effect in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The technologies for biofeedback or also biological feedback are becoming more and more popular these days and are used as an alternative treatment technique for a number of diseases, mostly neurological, psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders. Hemoencephalography neurofeedback is a modern alternative aiming to achieve physiological influence on the condition of children with ASD. Hemoencephalography neurofeedback can be used also as an alternative supporting treatment for other pathological states of the frontal lobes, independently or in combination with the conventional drug therapy.
