Neurofeedback and meditation technology in outpatient offender treatment: a feasibility and usability pilot study
Frontiers in Psychology June 4, 2024 A. V. D. Schoot, J. Wilpert, J. V. Horn et al.
A 4-week neuromeditation training using EEG neurofeedback to increase awareness and control over restless brain states was tested for feasibility and usability in eight adult forensic outpatients with impulse control problems. The training was added to treatment as usual, predominantly cognitive behavioral therapy. Despite some obstacles, patients and therapists rated the training sufficiently usable and feasible. Suggestions for improvement are offered to support implementation and future trials of neuromeditation in offender treatment.
