Many different persons and institutions have questioned the effectiveness of EEG Biofeedback (neurofeedback) training for "brain problems" such as ADD/ADHD, Epilepsy, Depression, Anxiety, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Autism, Brain Injury, etc. One of the statements made by various clinicians has been "There's not enough scientific data on the efficacy of EEG Biofeedback". That statement is garbage and is usually said by someone who hasn't taken the trouble to look up the enormous amount of scientific data and knowledge on this subject. Many MD's and PhD's use this "phrase" to cover their own ignorance. Thanks to Jiri Tyrl of Czechoslovakia who collated the following this shows clearly that EEG BF is effective in virtually all of the following "brain problems".

Epilepsy; ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Academic-Cognitive Enhancement; Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Sleep Disorders, Depression, Hemispheric Asymmetry, Anger, Addictive Disorders, Brain Injury, Stroke, Coma, Spasticity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune Dysfunctions, Headache and other Pain, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Parkinson's Dystonia, Tourette's Syndrome, Autism; Cognitive Decline with Aging, Asthma Hypertension Dissociative Disorders, Creativity, Optimal Functioning, Criminal Recidivism.

The following bibliography and the chart (devised by Dr Jiri Tyrl in 2001) shows clearly that for all of the above that there is indeed more than sufficient proof of EEG biofeedback (AKA neurofeedback), however, this does not mean that every clinician will believe, and/or know about it. If your clinician (AND your medical insurer) doesn't know about this very effective solution for all these brain problems, copy these lists, and give to them.

  Please feel free to copy this page, and give it the next medical "expert" that says "There's not enough data on that". That's the "standard" answer when an MD or other clinician is asked about something he/she knows nothing about other than rumors. As you can see from the above, there's a huge amount of data, and almost all of it done by responsible scientists is positive.
