Abstract
The research on biofeedback training in epilepsy is reviewed, with special regard to 1) extinction treatment of sensory induced epilepsia, and 2) sensory motor rhytm (SMR) feedback, where increase in SMR is supposed to decrease clinical seizures. Two cases, one of each of the two treatment techniques, illustrate the procedures. It is concluded that the extinction procedure is ready for clinical application, whereas SMR biofeedback is in need of further study before it can be recommended for general clinical application.Keywords
