Abstract
A biofeedback system for administration of electroencephalographic (EEG) neurofeedback training includes a plurality of electrodes sensors for placement on the head of a trainee and a switching head box comprising a plurality of contacts each of which connects to one electrode sensor and for specific biofeedback and neural connectivity training. The system also includes an interface device which includes at least two EEG signal amplifiers and connects to the switching head box, and a computer comprising software for generating user-control functions which corresponds in real-time to EEG signals received by the interface device and processed by the computer. The switching head box includes a switch with at least two conductors and connects the electrode sensors to the interface device for transmitting EEG signals from the trainee to the computer. Specific combinations of electrode sensors are used for specific types of biofeedback training.
