Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate beta/theta ratio (BTR) neurofeedback training (NFT) effects in physical bal-ance of healthy individuals. Thirty-one healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to NFT group (n=15) and non-NFT control group (n=16). The NFT group completed 25 sessions in consecutive five days with five sessions per day. Before and after NFT, physical balance was measured by Wii Balance Board (WBB). The non-NFT control group only performed the physical balance test on the first day and the fifth day without any training. The results showed no significant improvement in physical balance in the NFT group compared to the non-NFT control group. The reason of the failure will be further studied in our future work.
