Neurofeedback: Moving the Goalposts

Neurofeedback involves training the brain by providing contingent feedback. The brain goes through various normal changes during a neurofeedback session, and the goal is to train specific brain waves by applauding them. By moving the goalposts adaptively, the brain is encouraged to chase the information flow and improve its performance. Different brain waves, such as theta, beta, and alpha, can be targeted for training based on the individual's goals. Neurofeedback helps to create a directed signal of movement and facilitates pattern recognition in the brain.
