Comprehensive Neurofeedback Bibliography

Frank H. Duffy, M.D., Professor and Pediatric Neurologist at Harvard Medical School, stated in an editorial in the January 2000 issue of the journal Clinical Electroencephalography that the scholarly literature suggests that neurofeedback should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas. "In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would be universally accepted and widely used" (p. v). "It is a field to be taken seriously by all." (p. vii).

The references below are primarily outcome studies and case reports, with an occasional reference to significant conceptual papers or reviews. References will occasionally appear under more than one problem area when the paper deals with more than one disorder. 

The following reference provides guidelines for objectively evaluating the efficacy of neurofeedback treatments...

Many of the following references are available online as indicated by the underlined links in this color. Most of the work to accomplish this was provided by Horace Simmons. As additional links become known they will be activated.  Because these are external links there can be no assurances they won't be changed or deleted.
