Abstract
Neurofeedback is a brain-computer interface tool enabling the user to self-regulate their neuronal activity, and ultimately, induce long-term brain plasticity, making it an interesting instrument to cure brain disorders. Although this method has been used successfully in the past as an adjunctive therapy in drug-resistant epilepsy, this approach remains under-explored and deserves more rigorous scientific inquiry. In this review, we present early neurofeedback protocols employed in epilepsy and provide a critical overview of the main clinical studies. We also describe the potential neurophysiological mechanisms through which neurofeedback may produce its therapeutic effects. Finally, we discuss how to innovate and standardize future neurofeedback clinical trials in epilepsy based on evidence from recent research studies.
期刊介绍：
The first issue of the Revue Neurologique, featuring an original article by Jean-Martin Charcot, was published on February 28th, 1893. Six years later, the French Society of Neurology (SFN) adopted this journal as its official publication in the year of its foundation, 1899.
The Revue Neurologique was published throughout the 20th century without interruption and is indexed in all international databases (including Current Contents, Pubmed, Scopus). Ten annual issues provide original peer-reviewed clinical and research articles, and review articles giving up-to-date insights in all areas of neurology. The Revue Neurologique also publishes guidelines and recommendations.
The Revue Neurologique publishes original articles, brief reports, general reviews, editorials, and letters to the editor as well as correspondence concerning articles previously published in the journal in the correspondence column.
