by Tohoku University The new brain training with neurofeedback system. Credit: Rui Nouchi Brain training is structured and repeated practice that aims to improve cognitive functions. Studies on the impacts of brain training have produced mixed results. Nevertheless, researchers are still interested in exploring brain training’s effects. Now, a research group led by associate professor...
by University of Geneva Neurofeedback loop: The EEG is recorded and the participant receives instant feedback from his/her attention level captured by the alpha rhythm through a computer game, allowing to train the brain to concentrate. Credit: UNIGE Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects about 7% of children, with a two out of three chance of...
by Cardiff University Credit: Cardiff University Researchers at Cardiff University have launched a new app called “Restrain” to test whether it is possible to lose weight through a type of brain training involving simple games. The team from the University’s Brain Research Imaging Center (CUBRIC) is calling for volunteers to take part in the trial, which will...
LAWSON HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE LONDON, ON – Neurofeedback, also called ‘brain training,’ consists of exercises where individuals regulate their own brain activity. In a new study from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University, researchers have found that neurofeedback may be an effective treatment for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Published in NeuroImage: Clinical, the clinical trial found...
A new pair of smart glasses uses a technique invented at NASA to measure users’ brainwaves and tell them how well they’re paying attention. Others have used the NASA formula to help people train themselves to focus, as has the company’s founder, but Narbis’ new smart glasses are getting much quicker results. Narbis glasses train...
by Emma Griffiths, University of Sheffield Psychologists at the University of Sheffield have identified that core thinking skills are crucial in developing early number skills, and why children might differ widely in their early maths ability. Research from the University of Sheffield, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, investigated why children differ so much in their...
