- Protocol
- Auditory SMR/theta training at Cz
- Sessions
- 20 sessions over 4 weeks
Key findings
- Improvements in global cognition, executive function and verbal recall
- Gains in functional independence and mobility
- Session EEG showed reduced theta and increased SMR/theta ratio
- Resting 19-channel EEG showed lower theta and higher SMR and beta
A 53-year-old man recovering from removal of a large brain tumour received 20 rehabilitation sessions combining auditory SMR/theta neurofeedback, cognitive training and physiotherapy. He improved in cognition, independence and mobility, with EEG showing less theta and more SMR, but as a single uncontrolled case the neurofeedback's specific effect is unknown.
