Etymology

The term 'neurofeedback' originates from the combination of two words: 'neuro', referring to the nervous system or brain, and 'feedback', which signifies receiving information about an action or behavior. The roots of neurofeedback can be traced back to the 1960s when EEG (electroencephalography) technology began to be used in different neurological research fields. Pioneering experiments demonstrated that individuals could learn to control certain brainwave patterns when they received immediate feedback from devices measuring their brain activity. Over the decades, this concept evolved, and by the 1990s, neurofeedback began to gain traction as a potential treatment for various conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and epilepsy. Since then, numerous studies have been conducted to explore its efficacy and applications, leading to an increasing acceptance in both clinical and wellness settings.
