We have just received a report that child of ten with Cerebral Palsy had achieved an IQ increase from 48 four years ago to 70 currently. He had been trained with neurofeedback intermittently for four years. Even though a long span of time passed between measurements, such IQ improvements are not expected. Therefore it is proper to attribute the gains to the use of Neurofeedback even in the absence of a control. There is also no reason to think that the child has plateaued at this value of IQ. It is quite possible that further gains may be in store for this child with additional training over the coming years.

To date every study on neurofeedback that has included IQ measurements has demonstrated significant gains on an individual and a group basis. This argues for a role of Neurofeedback in ordering brain function that goes beyond what is commonly achievable with medications that impact on neurotransmitter and neuromodulator function.
