Thank you for your great response! Sorry for the late response. Most of what you said went over my head to be honest. I asked the LLM to provide some of the definitions you provided: >**What is SMR neurofeedback?** Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) neurofeedback targets the SMR frequency band (around 12-15 Hz) and is used to enhance calm and focused states, often employed to reduce symptoms like impulsivity, hyperactivity, and blocking (which can be related to cognitive or speech blocks). >**What is neurofeedback?** Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time monitoring of brain activity, typically through electroencephalography (EEG), to train individuals to regulate their brain function. It is used for various conditions, including anxiety, ADHD, and depression. >**What is the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS)?** The Behavioral Inhibition System is a neuropsychological system theorized to regulate aversive motives, in which the goal is to move away from something unpleasant. It is related to anxiety and the inhibition of behavior in response to signals of punishment or non-reward. >**What is Beta suppression in neurofeedback?** Beta suppression refers to reducing the activity of beta waves (13-30 Hz) in the brain, which are associated with active thinking and motor control. Suppressing beta activity can help reduce excessive neural activity that might contribute to conditions like anxiety or motor inhibition. >**What is the subthalamic nucleus and its role in Parkinson's disease?** The subthalamic nucleus is a small, lens-shaped nucleus in the brain that is part of the basal ganglia. It plays a crucial role in regulating movement. In Parkinson's disease, its activity is often abnormal, and deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting this area can help reduce motor symptoms In response to your question.. no, I have not looked into neurofeedback to decrease the sensitivity of the BIS. You said: *"But I am not sure which location the beta should be suppressed.*" I wouldn't know the answer also. In these last 10 months, have you learned any NEW things during your sessions with the neuropsychologist? (which whom you did SMR neurofeedback to reduce blocking)
