Text Box: Book Review The Neurofeedback Book by Michael Thompson and Lynda Thompson 2003 (Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback) This is an understandable explanation of the science behind biofeedback and neurofeedback. It is clear and easy-to-understand with specifically helpful illustrations. It provides in-depth information about procedures and cutting-edge methodologies, and insightful research and statistics to help you better evaluate results. It includes basic and detailed terminology germane to all EEG literature. Material is specifically written to prepare for certification, including the BCIA blueprint areas for EEG biofeedback. Part One begins with questions. What is biofeedback? Why use an EEG? What kind of learning takes place? How is the EEG produced? What can be observed with the EEG? How does the EEG instrument detect and display this information? Neuroanatamy related to neurofeedback is covered. Part Two answers the question of how and why one does biofeedback (BFB) combined with neurofeedback (NFB). It includes how to do a NFB assessment, artifact the data, and carry out NFB training. It also includes a brief BFB stress assessment detailing what sensors are used, and how to carry out a combined NFB + BFB training session. Part Three contains information about research design and statistics, in a scientific and technical vein. This is an excellent resource, and belongs in every collection.
