Applied Neuro- and Psychophysiology
Policy statement
To protect the public and maintain professional standards, BFSA supports the responsible use of Applied Neuro- and Psychophysiology (Neurofeedback, Biofeedback and QEEG) in accordance with recognised professional standards and applicable guidelines, including those of relevant neurophysiology organisations. Applied Neuro- and Psychophysiology assessment, interpretation and techniques should be undertaken only by practitioners with appropriate training and competence and, where applicable, equivalent professional certification. BFSA aligns with the international standards and guidelines set out by ISNR, BCIA, IQCB and ACNS, as well as CNSSA. BFSA supports the evidence-informed, ethical and professionally regulated use of Applied Neuro- and Psychophysiology.
Ethical and professional considerations
Applied Neuro- and Psychophysiology techniques are not standalone diagnostic methods and are used within a multidisciplinary context. Findings must be interpreted within a broader clinical or research context. Practitioners must accurately represent their qualifications and limitations. Ethical guidelines require these techniques to be applied within the practitioner's competence and scope of practice. Equipment and setup: It is recommended that a high-quality EEG amplifier with appropriate filters, sampling rate and artefact-reduction tools be used.
