Abstract
Six healthy participants were trained for ten days in order to obtain control over their
frontal alpha lateralization by using a brain-computer interface neurofeedback training.
The task was to either push or pull an object on appearing on a computer screen towards
or away from them. On two additional days following training, participants were tested
on whether they obtained the desired control and whether they were able to change their
frontal alpha waves without a constant feedback, on-demand. Results show, that there
was no pattern of change in the alpha lateralization during training and thus, no control
was learned. A dry electrode EEG headband was used to gather the data and was checked
for suitability and reliability as a future mobile neurofeedback device. A correlation with
a reliable well-known EEG system could be found to confirm the headbands usability as
a mobile EEG system.
