Summary

Imagine a procedure versatile enough to treat epilepsy, autism, attention deficit disorder, head injuries, addictions, and depression with no drugs or side effects, and to improve everything from golf scores to opera singers' voices. These are only some of the claims made for neurofeedback, a controversial but effective treatment that is revolutionizing the way an incredibly broad range of medical and psychological conditions are treated.
