This dissertation, after a critical review of the extant neurofeedback training (NFT) literature in sport, has identified some evidence for NFT as an approach that should enhance sporting performance in some circumstances; however, this evidence is on shaky grounds. A subsequent study tested the effectiveness of NFT on attention and reaction time of athletes, but found a smaller effect than what was found in the literature. This dissertation also highlights the debates on NFT and its effectiveness, and offers a solution by developing an allostasis four-stage model of NFT.
