Despite a considerable amount of research and methodological progress during recent years, the efficacy and specificity of neurofeedback training for children with ADHD remain controversial topics. In this symposium, speakers from four European countries will present an overview over latest developments and their recent research.
Katya Rubia will present an update on FMRI-feedback for adolescents with ADHD. Pascal Aggensteiner will report results from a large German multicenter study where EMG biofeedback was used as control condition for SCP neurofeedback. In Jessica van Doren’s contribution, the effects of a neurofeedback short term intervention will be analyzed. Tieme Janssen gives an overview over results from a large Dutch study, including new follow-up-data, where he distinguishes and analyses the impact of specific and non-specific effects. Renate Drechsler presents first data from the ongoing Zurich neurofeedback study, showing that teacher ratings are probably not the most reliable source for the measurement of change.
