2017: QEEG and Neurofeedback in Patients with Epilepsy

Epilepsy affects an estimated 2.2 million people in the United States alone and is the nation’s fourth most common neurological disorder, after migraine, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease (IOM, 2012). Seizures are caused by aberrant connections within the brain that result in hyperexcitable networks. Neurofeedback training can modify these hyperexcitable networks. Given the prevalence of seizures and epilepsy, ISNR meeting attendees can expect to have these patients in their practices and may benefit from an in-depth review of the literature to date.
