Brainwave patterns are different between healthy adults and those with traumatic brain injury, which alone suggests the need for brain-wave (EEG) normalization after injury. EEG biofeedback improves memory in persons with brain injury as well as attention and response accuracy during problem solving tasks (Tinius & Tinius, 2000). Walker, Norman, and Weber (2002) found 88% of mild head injury patients showed more than 50% improvement in EEG coherence scores, and all patients who had been employed prior to injury reported being able to return to work following the treatment. EEG-based therapy results in improved cognitive functioning as well as self-reports of depression and fatigue (Schoenberger, Shif, Esty, Ochs, & Matheis, 2001). Beta feedback improved attention deficits compared to controls (Keller, 2001).
