Exploring the Feasibility of Bidirectional Control of Beta Oscillatory Power in Healthy Controls as a Potential Intervention for Parkinson's Disease Movement Impairment.

ABSTRACT: Neurofeedback (NF) is a promising intervention for improvements in motor performance in Parkinson's disease. This NF pilot study in healthy participants aimed to achieve the following: (1) determine participants' ability to bi-directionally modulate sensorimotor beta power and (2) determine the effect of NF on movement performance. A real-time EEG-NF protocol was used to train participants to increase and decrease their individual motor cortex beta power amplitude, using a within-subject double-blind sham-controlled approach. Movement was assessed using a Go/No-go task. Participants completed the NASA Task Load Index and provided verbal feedback of the NF task difficulty. All 17 participants (median age = 38 (19-65); 10 females) reliably reduced sensorimotor beta power. No participant coul
