Neurofeedback allows patients to view their own brain activity and learn to modulate it in order to achieve the desired mental state. According to this article, it has been useful in the treatment of epilepsy and ADHD. Children with ADHD use neurofeedback games to learn to reduce theta waves and increase beta waves in their brain. As a result, they learn to become more attentive without the use of drugs like Ritalin. A 1999 German study also found that some epilepsy patients treated with neurofeedback could reduce their seizure rate.
