Spotlight: Exploring the effect of neurofeedback on postcancer cognitive impairment and fatigue: A pilot feasibility study (Luctkar-Flude, et al, 2022)
"Neurofeedback is a novel holistic approach to cancer survivorship care that can be classified as a mind-body CAM therapy. Mind-body therapies promote healing on all levels: emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual."
NeurOptimal® Dynamical NeurofeedbackTM is an advanced user-friendly technology that harnesses dynamical properties of the brain (Ros et al., 2014) and the only NF system using nonlinear mathematics (Suzuki, 2018). Unlike linear systems, no diagnosis is involved in dynamical NF. NeurOptimal enables the individual brain to train toward its own optimal functioning by providing information about emerging turbulence of the brain’s electrical activity through auditory feedback (Cochrane, 2010). This promotes self-regulation, flexibility and resilience within the brain and CNS, which regulates all other inter-related, inter-dependent systems within the body (Cochrane, 2010; Suzuki, 2018). Self-regulation of brain activity has been practiced for thousands of years in meditation, yoga, and the martial arts; however, NF can provide similar results more rapidly and efficiently (Swingle, 2008).
