Biofeedback Method for Locating the Most Controlled Responses of EEG Alpha to Visual Stimulation

  • Chapter
Biofeedback and Behavior

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((HF,volume 2))

Abstract

This paper demonstrates a new scientific method for testing hypotheses that “links” or a causal chain exists between a stimulus (independent variable) and an EEG response (dependent variable). The uniqueness of the method lies in the way feedback is used to reduce the “noisy” variation of the response compared to its average value.
