Their ability to control the stimuli, e.g., keeping the smile on a smiley face keeping a video playing, depends on their maintaining an EEG state that reflects focused attention.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, most individuals better at this. Supporters of neurofeedback argue that learning to alter EEG activity and focus better during training eventually generalizes to real-world tasks that require strong attention skills, e.g., reading, homework, etc.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/sharpbrains.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/03\/meta-analysis-finds-sustained-benefits-of-neurofeedback-for-kids-with-adhd\/\">https:\/\/sharpbrains.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/03\/meta-analysis-finds-...with-adhd\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fascinating findings: \u201c1.
