ABSTRACT:
A method and system for treating a patient having a pathological condition characterized by asymmetry between brain waves measured from two locations of the scalp. The method comprises the steps of attaching a first electrode to a first scalp location of the patient and a second electrode to a second scalp location of the patient. Then, brain waves of the patient are recorded from the electrodes. These brain waves are used for the purpose of biofeedback. Specifically, the brain wave asymmetry is presented to the patient and the patient is rewarded for changing the asymmetry.
