Historical overview
Electroencephalography (EEG), on which neurofeedback is based, was developed by Hans Berger between 1929 and 1938.[1] Neurofeedback was developed in 60s and 70s, while the research on this method was conducted primarily by the U.S. researchers. The subjects of the research were firstly cats but the researchers began the trials with human subjects soon after the introduction of the method. Neurofeedback was used for a therapeutic treatment, namely a reduction of seizures.[2] In 1969, Kamiya claimed in his article that healthy individuals might benefit from using neurofeedback as a cognitive enhancement.[3]

The procedure is controversial, expensive and time-consuming. An average course of treatment, with at least 30 sessions, can cost $3,000 or more, and few health insurers will pay for it. Still, it appears to be growing in popularity.[2]
