Neurofeedback is defined as a specialized field within biofeedback, dedicated to training people to gain control over electrophysiological processes in the human brain (Demos, 2005). It is a non-invasive technique that uses an electroencephalograph (EEG) to measure the brain's electrical signals in terms of frequency and amplitude, during a task performed by an individual. Once the EEG has been recorded, the raw traces are then separated into individual frequency components (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Sensorimotor Rhythm and Beta) and the information relating to them is returned to the individual, in real time, in a form that he/she can consciously see changes in the electrical state of their brain. This process is called a neurofeedback loop as the individual taking part in neurofeedback training can see how the task they are completing is changing their brain wave patterns. Participants are trained to increase or decrease the speed or size of brain waves in specific parts of the brain, and the changes are shown through audio, visual, or audiovisual feedback. According to Lake and Moss (2003) the public is seeking neurofeedback training more and more frequently; it gives the individual a more active role in their health care, is non-invasive and places an emphasis on the body and mind. Much research has been conducted in the field of neurofeedback to determine exactly how it can improve performance in certain aspects of daily human activity. For example, studies aimed at improving athlete performance have found that neurofeedback can improve balance (Pop-Jordana & Demerdziera, 2010), aiming (Kerick et al., 2001), and concentration (Salazar et al., 1990). It is also used to improve artistic performance...... middle of paper...... Gruzelier, J.H. (2003). The training effect of distinct neurofeedback protocols on aspects of cognitive performance.
