Abstract

Eight neurofeedback participants were alternately connected to two different Focused Technology F-1000 main computer boards during their neurofeedback sessions. Finger temperature, and theta and beta EEG measurements at two different sites were recorded for three minutes using each computer. Between individuals ANOVA was done on the F-1000 calculated variables to determine the contribution from computer, client and measurement site. The results of this analysis indicate that the two different F-1000 computers were consistent in their analysis of temperature and EEG inputs, and that the vast majority of any observed variance was due to individual. As this is the first of a series of ongoing and planned studies to investigate neurofeedback equipment characteristics, study limitations are discussed as well as implications for future investigations.
