If this is anything like Neurofeedback treatment, it wouldn't surprise me that it is effective. Neurofeedback treats 3 major frequency ranges of the brain, Delta, Theta and Alpha. Although this treatment seems passive whereas Neurofeedback treatment requires active modulation and stimulation by the person getting the treatment.
Going through Neurofeedback treatment myself and seeing the incredible life changes because of it and now seeing the similarity of the affected brain regions in this study shows that there might be some consensus reached on treating these conditions without medication one day.
- elric 7y agoThat sounds interesting. Do you have any links with more information regarding that neurofeedback treatment?
- TheLegace 7y agoI found out about it in this book The Body Keeps the Score[1]. Its a massive book, so I would just focus on the Neurofeedback section. But it doesn't have the first hand experience so mileage may vary. By co-incidence the researcher that pioneered this breakthrough treatment was located in the same city as me. You can see some of the videos[2], but it will be difficult to understand and appreciate unless you spend a lot of time reading papers and learning about the brain. I will say its worth it to learn, especially if you want your ability to focus to go from below average to far above average. Feel free to email me if you want details, I had to become well versed at it out of necessity more than anything.
