Theoretical Substantiations Of Registration And Analysis Of EEG To Increase The Reliability Of Neurofeedback Training (NFT)

This paper presents a review of literature data and our own results of the study of the factors of the procedure of EEG recording and analysis that affect the personalization and, consequently, the effectiveness of neurofeedback training (NFT). Here will be discussed localization and montage of electrodes, environmental factors such as: the time of day, body position, visual condition, duration, and sequence of closed and open eye trials during EEG recording. As feedback it is supposed to use EEG indices established individually on the basis of analysis of endophenotypic index of alpha peak frequency and neuronal activation. In this article, based on an analysis of the literature and our own results, the procedure and sequence of EEG recording and analysis, which are supposed to be carried out before and after self-control training using Neurofeedback will be presented. A rationale for each step will be given from the point of view of how this or that issue can influence the personalization and consequently, effectiveness of self-regulation training with neurofeedback to optimize its own individual neural efficiency.
