Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback or neurotherapy, is a technology by which individuals learn to change the manner in which their brains function in response to real-time information based on their brains’ electrical activity, or EEG - or through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques. Once learned, these changes in brain functioning tend to be long lasting, or even permanent. On the one hand, research and clinical experience have increasingly come to show that neurofeedback training can alleviate, or significantly reduce, symptoms associated with a wide range of disorders and improve both the quality of life and level of performance of individuals who receive this training. On the other hand, much is still to be learned about the mechanisms that underly these changes; and in some instances, the sweeping and unsubstantiated claims of efficacy on the part of some of its proponents have had the effect of casting doubt on the wider credibility of the field.
The Foundation for Neurofeedback and Applied Neuroscience is incorporated under the laws of the State of California. It has been granted a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service for the purpose of encouraging research into the nature and practical applications of neurofeedback. It is entirely supported by charitable donations.
In addition, the Foundation for Neurofeedback and Applied Neuroscience will seek to advance strategies for making the benefits of neurofeedback training available to those who presently lack such access by partnering with institutions, community groups and other entities that share its commitment to these ends; and, where appropriate, it will provide technical and material support to such groups.
