Abstract:

This study investigates the changes in the brain wave of stroke patients through neurofeedback training (NFBT) using display. Thirty stroke patients were assigned to two group: 14 patients in the NFBT group, and 16 in the control group. NFBT group played the display game by watching the monitor with the poles attached, and his awakening level was controlled. The training time for this trial was set at 30 minutes, during which a 3-minute training module was conducted 10 times, and trained as five times a week for 6 weeks. Their brain waves were measured pre- and post-training through electroencephalography. In result, the frontal and parietal lobes in particular of NFBT group showed significant differences in activation after the test (p < 0.05). But there were no significant differences between before and after intervention in control group. This study suggests that rehabilitation by NFBT is effective in changing relative beta waves and improving cognitive function.
