LORETA Neurofeedback: Odd Reports, Observations, and Findings Associated with Spatial Specific Neurofeedback Training
Open accessAbstract
Neurotherapeutic techniques continue to advance in sophistication and complexity, and as such so does the need to reference odd occurrences or adverse reactions as a result of training in different regions of the brain.This is important to the field of neurotherapy in addition to those practitioners who may encounter patients on medications at the time of training, and this type of information can only add to the armamentarium of tools at our disposal.We discuss noted odd occurrences that have transpired during our studies employing LORETA neurofeedback (LNFB) in both children and adults.We also discuss negative events reported by patients or parents and medications interactions with LNFB.Positive results are also discussed.The field of neurofeedback can benefit immensely from more reports of this type.

Training effects are more robust when the clinician is present.
“Additionally, it has been reported that training effects are more robust when the clinician is present [214], therefore, irrespective of group assignment, the trainer will be present for the duration of all sessions.”
From Infraslow closed-loop brain training for anxiety and depression (ISAD): a protocol for a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot trial in adult females with internalizing disorders (2022) · cites this paper as [214]
The paper reports that one participant’s training trend was less robust when the technician left the room than training with a technician present (Abstract). It cautions that the difference may reflect the clinical case rather than clinician presence and says a potential therapist effect needs further investigation. The citing sentence presents that tentative observation as a general training effect. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
