Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback which uses electrical signals from the brain detected by electrodes that are placed on the scalp.
Neurofeedback (NFB), also called neurotherapy, neurobiofeedback or EEG biofeedback, is a method which attempts to train brainwave activity, as measured by electrodes on the scalp, and is presented to an individual as feedback in the form of a video display, sound or vibration.
Neurofeedback appealed greatly to the social movements of the 1960s as well, when altered states were a lifestyle, and even some of the research on alpha brain waves appealed more to the pop-culture fascination than to the more conservative scientific community.
