David — I read this and also your post on mindfulness meditation, and think the two techniques seem to be very similar. Is not using a neurofeedback mechanism simply another form of mindfulness?

Hello M.A.: can you give me references to published high-quality clinical trials that measured efficacy of what you call “soma-sensory tracking”? If they are specific to ADHD, even better, given the topic of this article! As you may know, Dr. Rabiner reviews the evidence behind a variety of interventions that may help people with ADHD, and I have never seen him talk/ speak of that (nor have I encountered relevant references before).

Thank you!

Given my limited work with ADHD students and in light of my knowledge of the field of ADHD coaching, the eeg biofeedback study appears to point the way to future cognitive testing that as Dr. Rabiner points out, operates on a whole systems model of researching complexity.

I’d be curious to know what other treatment plans had been enacted, before the EEG testing began, e.g., on the attention scale, how EEG patterns measured related soma-sensory tracking.
