I'll write up a newsbite on this for work.

Neurofeedback may have been easing ADD symtpoms for decades now... well.. maybe a decade. I don't know. I subscribed to the openeeg (http://openeeg.sourceforge.net/doc/) list and considered building one of them for that reason.

I'm waiting openRTMS (http://open-rtms.sourceforge.net/) to mature.

NFB is > 20 years old, yeah. ADD is an established target, as are coma and stroke patients and head injury people.

I was really interested in neurofeedback to treat ADD for a long time. I'm still not very comfortable taking drugs. I'm still considering getting biofeedback certified when I graduate, espeically bcia is headquatered in my hood.

When I first read that I was more or less thinking, "Ohh, another article that says neurofeedback will solve all of my problems, and then not cite the same handful of studies I've seen over and over again." But it's been about two or three years since I took a serious look at how research was progressing with neurofeedback and ADD. I should be more open-minded.
