INFLUENCE OF BIOFEEDBACK AND SELF-REGULATION PSYCHOTECHNIQUES ON THE COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS AND ALPHA ACTIVITY EEG

Abstract
Comparison the influence of voluntary increasing alpha power and decreasing EMG by using biofeedback (BFB) and usual self-regulation techniques (SRT) on cognitive functions and alpha activity in 27 male subjects was provided. The results show that alpha-BFB improve cognitive task performance and enhance the alpha activity in participants with low alpha frequency. SRT without feedback has no such effect.
