Then H includes the calculation y/(length2), but also a display function. To give an easy biofeedback example, let u be a desirable value for the BMI (Body Mass Index) and let y be the patient's or user's weight. In this diagram, G(s) is the user, patient, sportsman, etcetera and H(s) is the external training equipment together with services of the therapist. In order to provide a structure and discuss the wide variety of potential advantages and potential difficulties associated with neurofeedback therapy, we start by introducing the closed loop diagram of Figure 1. With neurofeedback therapy we are literally reconditioning and retraining the brain (Hammond, 2007). This feedback provides us the ability to influence and change them. With neurofeedback therapy we can make brainwave patterns explicit by for example a computer screen, patterns we normally cannot influence since we are unable to see or feel them. Keywords: Headset, neurofeedback therapy, electroencephalography, EEG, brain waves, home environment, wellbeing, impedance measurement We describe several of the design steps of the headset that has been designed to achieve enjoyable neurofeedback therapy in the home environment and conclude with an evaluation of this headset. We identify elements from the world of gaming that will have added value over a pure training approach, notably elements that improve enjoyment and motivation.
To structure the discussion we will deploy the closed loop diagram. Both are analyzed informally and we argue in favour of a change in perspective, moving away from treatment of illness towards prevention and giving the user an active and responsible role. There is a variety of potential advantages and potential difficulties associated with neurofeedback therapy.
