We conducted a review of the empirical literature to determine if such claims were warranted. This
review included the above search terms in Pubmed, Google scholar and any references that met our criteria from the
ZNFB publication list and was restricted to group based studies examining improvement in a clinical population that
underwent peer review (book chapters, magazine articles or conference presentations are not included since these are not peer reviewed). Fifteen relevant studies emerged with only six meeting our criterion.

Systematic review article based on expert panel first gathered at Autism One conference in 2009. Presents evidence in support of traditional and non-traditional treatments.

This chapter which summarizes recent research and findings was published in the new book entitled Imaging in Autism. Neurofeedback is highlighted as one of the few treatments mentioned in this book by Dr. Robert Coben.

This article was published in 2008 in the Journal of Neurotherapy as part of a special two part series on EEG connectivity. We outline connectivity anomalies in autistic children and how they may be remedied with neurofeedback approaches

This article published in Biofeedback outlines the connectivity model of neurofeedback training used in the treatment of ASD.

This article was authored by Dr Robert Coben and was published in the summer of 2009. It discussed the importance of EEG assessment and various analyses that can be generated to assist in understanding autistic children.

Learning disabilities are the fastest growing category within special education services; approximately 5% of the total national student population has been diagnosed with a learning disability. Deficits in reading, writing, or verbal expression limit a student’s ability to engage within the educational environment. Recognizing the importance of finding an effective treatment for learning disorders, INS co-founder Dr. Coben and colleagues conducted a randomized, controlled study of the effects of Neurofeedback on dyslexia in 2015.

This special issue of the Journal of Neurotherapy has been devoted to Advances in EEG Connectivities. These purposes include providing education to our readers and collaboration among the scientists and authors. Multiple connectivity metrics have been defined with an emphasis on coherence and multivariate connectivity measures. The goals of connectivity measurements should include accuracy compared to known neurological networks and utility in assessment and application for intervention (e.g., EEG coherence training)

Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally de#ned disorder, research shows that ASD is associated with neurological, genetic, gastrointestinal, and other medical abnormalities. In this article, we discuss the most prevalent neurological abnormality a$ecting children with ASD — seizures. To provide insight and knowledge about this subject, we held three Elias Tembenis Seizures “Think Tanks that included practitioners who treat children with ASD and seizure disorders using both traditional and non-traditional treatments. “is article outlines the summary points of the major agreed upon conclusions of the think tanks. “ese conclusions were based on the most valid, evidence-based information available on seizures and epilepsy in ASD.

This chapter demonstrates the benefits of neurofeedback as a treatment for children with developmental disorders. Neurofeedback has shown efficacy for a wide variety of developmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy, and dyslexia. Preliminary research suggests that neurofeedback is an effective therapy for reducing core symptoms in children with both autism and ADHD. Neuro- feedback is a therapy that teaches clients to regulate their brain activity to work in a new, more efficient way through the use of underlying operant conditioning paradigms. This treatment involves providing a subject with visual and/or auditory “feedback” for particular neural behaviors. Through conditioning, the subject is taught to inhibit EEG frequencies that are excessively generated and augment frequencies that are deficient. With continuous training and coaching, individuals are taught to maintain brainwave patterns concurrent with healthy neural functioning.

The use of QEEG guided neurofeedback in the treatment has shown promise as an emerging treatment. To date, EEG based neurofeedback approaches have used technology with limited sophistication. We designed a new form of neurofeedback that uses four channels of EEG with a multivariate calculation of coherence metrics. Following a mathematical presentation of this model, we present findings of a multi-site study with clinical subjects with various diagnoses. We compared this form of multivariate coherence neurofeedback to the more standard two channel coherence training. Findings showed that there was a significant difference between the groups with four channel multivariate coherence neurofeedback leading to greater changes in EEG metrics.

One of the few studies published that empirically compared forms of neurofeedback. Demonstrates relatively greater improvements from qeeg guided connectivity based neurofeedback even after patients are equated for diagnosis and symptom severit

Published in Autism File in 2009 as an introduction and review of how EEG assessment can be beneficial in autistic cases. An example or progress and discussion of neurofeedback as a treatment for this problems is also presented.

Research conducted by Kouijzer et al. (Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback 38(1):17-28, 2013) compared the effects of skin conductance biofeedback and EEG-biofeedback on patients with autistic spectrum disorders to determine their relative efficacy. While they found a difference between treatment and control groups, there was no significant difference on many variables between the two treatment groups. From this, the increase in symptom alleviation from autistic spectrum disorder was attributed to non-specific factors surrounding the study. We now offer alternative explanations for their findings and propose different options for future studies.

This study was the first to investigate the efficacy of long wave infrared (LWIR) imaging as a diagnostic tool for ADHD.
Robert Coben, PhD, Ilean Padolsky, PhD
The neurological correlates underlying positive treatment outcomes for neurofeedback have been either unavailable or difficult to demonstrate. Assessment of brain-related changes associated with neurofeedback is needed to further establish its empirical basis. Infrared (IR) imaging is a noninvasive assessment of brain activity with high spatial and temporal resolution. Findings indicated that IR imaging may be a reliable and valid measure of treatment outcomes with clinical utility and sensitivity.
