I am currently researching people's ability to exert a conscious control over some aspect of their own brainwaves. Specifically, the use of neurofeedback for controlling the amplitude of the brain's alpha (8-12Hz) waves with particular emphasis on the methodological parameters involved. The goal of this research is to try and identify an optimum training paradigm for alpha neurofeedback.
