“…However, identifying the specific frequency range of the alpha component of the EEG seems less certain. For example, previous attempts to enhance alpha using NFT have identified alpha as operating between 7-15 Hz (Brown, 1970), 7.5-13 Hz (Prewett & Adams, 1976), 8-12 Hz (e.g., Albert et al, 1974Cho et al, 2008;Fell et al, 2002), 8.5-12.5 Hz (Bauer, 1976), 8-13 Hz (e.g., Angelakis et al, 2007Hardt & Kamiya, 1978;Nowlis & Kamiya, 1970), 8.5-13.5 Hz (Valle & Levine, 1975), 8-14 Hz (Konareva, 2005, 2006, and 10 Hz AE 1 Hz (Drennen & O'Reilly, 1986). Such inconsistencies in identifying the frequency range of the training component not only make comparisons between studies problematic but also fail to take into account individual differences.…”
