Stress Coping Via Musical Neurofeedback

Advances in Mind-body Medicine
Fedotchev Alexander

Abstract

Music therapy (MT) and electroencephalogram (EEG)-based neurofeedback (NFB) are frequently used for treating central nervous system dysregulation. The advantages of using music as a signal for NFB have been recently shown. To combine these advantages with extreme personalization of NFB, the original musical NFB method has been developed. Instead of excessively wide-band, traditional EEG rhythms, it uses typical and significant for the individual narrow-band EEG oscillators automatically revealed in real time. This pilot study aimed to examine the efficiency of music stimulation online controlled by feedback signals from patient's EEG oscillators for the correction of stress-induced functional disturbances. Sixteen specialists complaining from stress due to urgent workload voluntarily participated in 2 treatment sessions. In one of them, they simply listened to composition of classical music, whereas in another one, the loudness of the same music varied in strict accordance with the current amplitude of subject's alpha EEG oscillator. At the end of both treatments, normalization of the EEG, reduction of stress sensations, and positive shifts in mental and emotional status of the patients were observed. However, statistically sig...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
