Abstract
Though the primary focus on addiction treatment research has been driven by psychopharmacological interventions, a solid psychophysiology research exists demonstrating that neurofeedback brain-training dramatically improves multiple recovery factors when applied in treatment populations. Barriers to broad-based implementation in clinical and subclinical settings include cost of equipment, lengthy and in-depth training requirements, and a lack of clear guidance in developing and implementing brain-training protocols specific to each individuals brain-phenotype. Automated Psychophysiological assessment and EEG Biofeedback training systems have been demonstrated to be equally efficacious as clinician-guided EEG Systems. We propose that Automated EEG Biofeedback systems have developed to assess and treat a multiplicity of brain-phenotypes related to addiction. We propose that automated EEG Biofeedback systems provide a front-line, easy-to-apply, psycho-physiological adjunct therapy that will increase recovery potential in nearly all addiction treatment models. The aim of this report is to illuminate the broad understandings of automated neurofeedback brain-training as a utile primary intervention in mental health and addiction clinical and sub-clinical settings
