“…It has been suggested that research aimed at enhancing performance has a number of distinct aims, these include controlling the level of arousal, attention and motivation, optimising the level of autonomic control, and the ability to shift states at will, as well as developing rehabilitative interventions for athletes suffering injury (Landers, 1985;Norris & Currieri, 1999;Wilson & Gunkelman, 2001).…”

“…However, due to a range of methodological limitations and a general failure to elicit unambiguous changes in baseline EEG activity, a clear association between neurofeedback training and enhanced performance has yet to be established. Throughout, the review highlights a number of recommendations to aid and stimulate future research.Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of claims made concerning the possibility of improving some aspect of either physical or cognitive performance via the use of feedback training (see e.g., Norris & Currieri, 1999), and the availability of venues offering such opportunities. However, an important question remains to be addressed, and that is whether such claims are supported by scientific evidence showing that it is possible to enhance some aspect of performance using this technique.…”

There have been many claims regarding the possibilities of performance enhancement training. The aim of such training is for an individual to complete a specific function or task with fewer errors and greater efficiency, resulting in a more positive outcome. The present review examined evidence from neurofeedback training studies to enhance performance in a particular area. Previous research has documented associations between specific cortical states and optimum levels of performance in a range of tasks. This information provides a plausible rationale for the use of neurofeedback to train individuals to enhance their performance. An examination of the literature revealed that neurofeedback training has been utilised to enhance performance from three main areas; sport, cognitive and artistic performance. The review examined evidence from neurofeedback training studies within each of these three areas. Some suggestive findings have been reported with regard to the use of neurofeedback training to enhance performance. However, due to a range of methodological limitations and a general failure to elicit unambiguous changes in baseline EEG activity, a clear association between neurofeedback training and enhanced performance has yet to be established. Throughout, the review highlights a number of recommendations to aid and stimulate future research.

“…The brain produces waves of different frequencies, which can be used to analyze human behaviors and the functional conditions of the brain. Recently, EEG has been used to enhance cognitive functions such as attention, concentration, response time, behavior modification, precision, tension alleviation, and determination 7) . This study will examined the effects of Gong' mobilization on the improvement of FHP and cervical ROM to verify whether improving problems of the cervical spinal area is an effective way of enhancing the brain's resting state and concentration.…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study examined the effects of Gong's mobilization on the cervical lordosis, forward head posture (FHP), cervical range of motion (ROM), and the resting and concentration states of the brain.[Subjects] Forty college students who had problems with cervical posture and ROM were divided into a Gong's mobilization group (n=20) (an experimental group) and a control group (n=20).[Methods] We performed Gong's mobilization on the experimental group three times per week for four weeks and looked at the effects of Gong's mobilization on cervical lordosis, FHP, and cervical ROM. We also examined the effects of Gong's mobilization on the brain's activation levels by analyzing brain waves during the brain's resting and concentrating states using neuro-feedback equipment.[Results] Gong's mobilization increased cervical lordosis, cervical extension ROM (CER), and the ranges of flexion and extension motion (RFEM). It also decreased FHP and enhanced the brain's resting state, rest-α, low rest-β, and high rest-β waves; and during concentration, it increased high β waves.[Conclusion] Gong's mobilization improved FHP and increased the ROM of the cervical spinal area. These improvements in dynamic parts are effective at enhancing the brain's resting state, which indicates that Gong's mobilization may affect the maximization of the brain's steady state and attention and concentration.

“…Every year, effective protocols for other disorders are described. In addition to treating illness, neurofeedback can help in improving mental and athletic performance in healthy persons (Norris & Currieri, 1999). I love this approach to helping my patients.…”
