Abstract

Neurofeedback overtraining in vulnerable patients can cause transient, sitespecific functional decline that may be distressing to the patient and trainer. Susceptible patients can be identified before training with a checklist, and overtraining then avoided by close observation of training response. Procedures are described and a possible mechanism is offered.
