But what had much significance to me here is how the power of expecation works psychologically about sleep therapy.. reconsider the phrase "If everyone thinks neurofeedback treatment works, it is more likely to do so, even though it bears no relation to self-regulation of selective neural activity."Neuroplasticity bloggerhttp://neuroscientia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-58574709286716449142017-03-16T16:39:51.575-07:002017-03-16T16:39:51.575-07:00Here you go, Anonymous.

Sofi Aventis, the makers of Ambien? Belsorma? The on-line therapy for insomnia lobby?<br /><br />He did massive research on how seemingly non-effective neurofeedback is for insomnia, but didn't bother to read the fine print on outfits like Shuti.me. In their "landmark" study, after 6 to 9 weeks of (basically off-the-shelf tips and tricks easily found on google...for free),the best result was only an extra 30 minute of additional sleep per night. And the other study sited to compare neurofeedback to placebo? It wasn't even placebo! They just used another neurofeedback protocol that wasn't even close to being scientific based sham, or a double blind control. Jeez, if a normal Joe Blow like me can figure this out, why couldn't you? <br /><br />This a an obvious attack on Betsy Devos, her NeuroCore outfit, which uses 45 year old neurofeedback technology as its treatment protocol. The field of neurofeedback has moved so far beyond that, but hey, that doesn't seem to be juicy enough FAKE NEWS for the guy to be bothered to do present day research on.<br /><br />Somebody is greasing this guys palm. Do your own research and look beyond the propaganda nonsense like this, trying to keep people on Ambien forever.<br /><br />I challenge Neurocritic to leave this comment up to prove his journalist integrity.<br /><br />Believe me, I'm not holding my breath. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
