Abstract
The value of providing information-rich feedback in an operant conditioning paradigm is evaluated in a population of children undergoing EEG conditioning training (neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback) for a variety of conditions, including mainly ADHD, seizures, and mood disorders. Retrospective data analysis yields the finding that some tests of cognitive function show better outcomes with more complex, information-rich feedback. Also, more absorbing feedback yields a larger number of training sessions. It is, therefore, likely that additional benefit may be derived by continuing in the direction of providing more immersive, information-rich feedback, leading ultimately to full virtual reality implementations.
