Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is an established fact that many short-term stressors are often associated with injuries and mental health-related problems. To address these, neurofeedback (a paradigm referred to as brain training) represents an effective means of managing the negative effects of short-term stressors. Through neurofeedback, it is possible to both observe the processes taking place in the central nervous system and regulate their activities, thus allowing for the safe improvement of one’s psychological and physiological abilities and the overcoming of the influence of stressors. Additionally, available evidence on the effectiveness of neurofeedback as a tool for faster return to homeostasis in the nervous system underscores current scientific interest in further pursuing research along these lines. Therefore, scientific research should establish the most effective amount of neurofeedback training, depending on the type and strength of the stressors, and determine the "spheres" of the human organism on which these stressors have the greatest negative impact.
This Special Issue aims to examine the stressors present in human life as well as procedures that effectively eliminate the effects of these stressors using neuroscience methods, particularly EEG.
Our aim is to attract research describing problems in various areas of human activity in which stress plays a negative role, as well as where scientists use methods of diagnosis and intervention related to the use of EEG.
