Brain State-Dependent Non-Invasive Neurostimulation with EEG Feedback: Achievements and Prospects (Review)

Abstract

Non-invasive brain stimulation with electroencephalogram (EEG) feedback is an intensively developing and promising area of neurophysiology. The review considers the literature data over the past 5 years on the achievements and promising directions for the further development of this research line. Modern data on the developed approaches to the practical use of various types of brain state-dependent adaptive neurostimulation with EEG feedback were analyzed. The main attention is paid to the studies using non-invasive magnetic and electrical stimulation, as well as acoustic and audiovisual stimulation. The paper considers the possibilities and prospects for using these technologies in clinical medicine. The results of the authors’ own research are presented.
