EEG Analysis of the Neurofeedback Training Effect in Algorithmic Thinking.

Although significant advances have been made in understanding several cognitive states, the algorithmic thinking ability is yet to be analyzed in terms of neuroscience and brain imaging techniques. Studies on the effects of neurofeedback on learning disabilities especially mathematics disorders are limited. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the brain activity and activation differences between neurofeedback trained participants and controls, during the overall EEG analysis during continuous algorithmic tasks performance. A study of 182 children of upper education is proposed to assess the efficacy of two protocols of neurofeedback training as means of algorithmic thinking ability evaluation. Results suggest statistical significant variation in the mean SD values in terms of several brain waves ratios during algorithmic task solving epochs.
