Military personnel trained to change their own brain responses with a neurofeedback program may be able to reduce their risk of experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, researchers say.
Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback that can let a person see their own brain activity through a real-time display, giving them the opportunity to regulate brain function.“If something can change in the brain to help soldiers before they go on duty, they may develop fewer symptoms of stress later,” said senior study author Talma Hendler of the Sagol Brain Institute and Wohl Institute for Advanced Imaging at Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
