Evidence and practice

Practice context with software-guided biofeedback for mental performance.

Systematic reviews (PRISMA, 24 studies) report neurofeedback associated with improved reaction time, cognitive performance and emotional regulation in athletes across several sports (archery, football, volleyball, judo). Biofeedback is often discussed alongside stress resilience; neurofeedback with cognitive–motor optimisation. Optimal protocol duration in trials is often reported around 4–10 weeks, 2–3 sessions per week; individual plans vary.
