Neurofeedback is just placebo says critic. What's the truth?

I'm teaching 4-hour class tonight on Neurofeedback at Multnomah University in PDX. Think I might use this video if I have the time. We always appreciate your work, Kurt!

How did the presentation go Joshua? Feel free to use this video. Do you need it as a file?

@@othmerk the lecture went very well. I think I'll be a full time grad school instructor/professor by July. Ive wondered what it would look like to integrate NF into the universities free student counseling department. We have a counseling degree that could potentially help fuel it with interns. Have you seen anyone do that yet?

[@othmerk]

Indeed I have. CSUN's neuroscience department did that with great success. We even hired one of their graduates.

Well done Kurt! As a neurfeedback practitioner I know that neurofeedback provides a benefit far beyond what a placebo could. Your response in this video is right on. Thank you!

[@Jimfrenchde]

I agree that Neurofeedback is affected by the placebo affect because symptoms can get better or worse with Neurofeedback treatment,.

[@hannokirk4482]

Great response to the nefarious "study"claiming thta Neurofeedbck is no better than placebo or that the effectivness of NF is nothing more than a placebo effect.

What is a Placebo effect, though? Life on this entire planet, especially human life runs largely on the placebo/nocebo effect. That's why we have the media trying to tell us what/how to think. Society largely behaves like this.

I'm not sure that animals don't experience the placebo effect.

I'm looking for someone near Albany, NY who performs FMRI on alcoholics. I'm trying to convince someone I know who needs this....it may be the missing piece to help with her sobriety.

Daniel Amen has some very compelling spect imagery showing alcohol's affect on the brain. www.amenclinics.com/healthy-vs-unhealthy/alcohol-drug-abuse/
