The Effects of Beta-I and Fractal Dimension Neurofeedback on Reaction Time

Abstract

— In this paper, we evaluate the effects of neurofeedback training protocols of the relative power of the beta-I band and the fractal dimension on the reaction time of human by the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) to show which of these two protocols have the great ability for the improving of the reaction time. The findings of this research show that both protocols have a good ability (p < 0.01) to improving of the reaction time and can create the significant difference (as mean dRT = 37.3 ms for the beta-I protocol and dRT = 19.6 ms for the fractal protocol) in the reaction time. Of course, we must express, the Beta-I protocol has the more ability to improving of the reaction time and it is able to provide a faster reaction time.
