1. A neurofeedback system for providing neurofeedback treatment to at least one patient comprising:

  • at least one sensor removably attached to the head of the at least one patient and configured to measure electroencephalographic brain activity of the at least one patient;

    a central server connected to a network and configured to store at least one treatment protocol algorithm whereby the central server provides at least one treatment protocol using feedback from the measured electroencephalographic brain activity;

    at least one data collection module operable in a computer-based device;

    said computer-based device having a network connection whereby said computer-based device provides communication between said network and said at least one data collection module;

    said at least one sensor adapted to transmit said electroencephalographic brain activity to said at least one data collection module and then to said network;

    said at least one data collection module configured to;

    (a) transmit the measured electroencephalographic brain activity to said central server via said network;

    (b) provide feedback to the at least one patient in accordance with the measured electroencephalographic brain activity; and

    (c) receive said treatment protocol from the central server via said network; and

    a computer output device in electrical communication with said computer-based device;

    wherein said at least one data collection module is further configured such that, during the neurofeedback treatment, the module accesses any user-selectable computer-based program/activity and said computer output device is configured to provide the feedback to the at least one patient by modifying an output of said user-selectable computer-based program/activity in response to said electroencephalographic brain activity, said user-selectable computer-based programs/activities include any available computer-based programs/activities that comprise any and all of the following;

    word processing programs;

    spreadsheet programs;

    presentation programs;

    social networking programs;

    online games;

    e-mail systems;

    Internet surfing;

    computer apps; and

    video-sharing programs/sites, all of which being selectable by the at least one patient and independent from said neurofeedback system.
