Neurofeedback Training Intervention for Persons with Major Depression Disorder: Reducing Depressive Symptoms
Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, 322 million people in the world were depressed in 2015. This study aimed to develop an effective training intervention for minimizing the depressive symptoms in persons with depression disorder. Neurofeedback Training (NT) was tested in a control-group experimental design: immediately after the NT and one week later. Participants were 32 Chinese college students (22 female students; mean age = 22.18). Our experimental study found positive effects of the training intervention on alpha band and depressive symptoms. Overall, NT can protect persons with depression disorder from an increase in depressive symptoms at the stage of depression.

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.
