Neurofeedback in ADHD

Aribert Rothenberger, Ute...

Neurofeedback is an operant learning procedure where participants learn to gain self-control over specific aspects of neural activity. Thus, depending on the neurofeedback protocol applied behavioural, cognitive and / or emotional effects can be induced. Different assumptions about mechanisms, moderators and mediators of neurofeedback exist, associated with different ways of application. 

EEG-based neurofeedback is used as a therapeutic approach in attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a clinically and pathophysiologically heterogeneous child psychiatric disorder. There is increasing evidence for specific effects of neurofeedback when applying 'standard' protocols (slow cortical potentials, theta/beta, SMR). Knowledge about underlying mechanisms and moderating variables is increasing. Nevertheless, further well-controlled and conducted trials are needed to answer open questions concerning optimisation and individualisation of neurofeedback training. Further improvements may be expected from new methodical and technical developments (e.g., tomographic neurofeedback) and new concepts (integrated ADHD treatment). 

The Frontiers Reserach Topic intends to provide answers to the following questions concerning neurofeedback in ADHD: 
• How efficacious is neurofeedback / does a certain neurofeedback protocol work? 
• What is the rationale of applying a certain neurofeedback protocol in ADHD? 
• What are central mechanisms and which moderating variables may affect training outcome? 
• How to optimise treatment? What are new developments and which benefits may be expected?

Original Works by Dr Buteyko and...

Artour Rakhimov

This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB (Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting.
He saw breathing as a fundamental measurable parameter in the treatment of 150 common diseases and because of his disciplined scientific research he never allowed it to be considered simply an alternative asthma treatment' as it is often now perceived in the West. With trained practitioners and Breathing clinics it would result in a profound improvement in the health of millions of people suffering from many different conditions throughout the world.
Here is a summary of the main chapters:
1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science.
2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail.
3. Large practical guide (CEOB Breath Retraining Manual) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting.
4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program.
5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective.
6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia.
The book's approximate length is 35,000 words.

Signs Of Life - An anthology

Sarah Sasson

How do experiences of sickness or incapacitation change our bodies, who we are, and how we see the world? And how do they affect the people around us? 
In this anthology, we see from the point of view of patients, care-givers and family members. Physician and writer Sarah Sasson has curated a collection that is international and unforgettable. 
In a Californian cafe, a music-lover develops psychosis while drinking green tea. In a Ghanaian paediatric ward, a doctor cares for a boy with kidney disease, while definitive treatments remain out of reach. In Melbourne, a mother watches as her son resists being taken to respite care. 
This is not a book about death and dying. This is a book about life and how we live it. These stories reveal what is truly valued in this world, and speak to the ferocity with which we love.
