Study raises ethical concerns over misleading website claims from neurofeedback providers in the United States
A new study published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement investigated the websites of 371 neurofeedback providers in the United States. The overwhelming majority of these providers made claims in relation to at least one clinical condition (e.g., anxiety, ADHD), and a quarter of them used hype words (e.g., “miracle cure”) to do so. Only 36% of providers had a medical degree or a doctoral degree in psychology.
