If you have the time and money it's a great way for most people (although about 25% of people don't respond to the treatment) to increase their human capital and mitigate conditions such as depression and ADHD. You need to find a local provider and it would be dangerous to buy the equipment yourself and do it on your own.
It might not work to do it on your own (EEGs are hard to hook up to yourself), but it's not physically dangerous to do your own EEG neurofeedback. There are several companies selling consumer level EEG headsets.
Neurofeedback changes your brain waves and (as I'm sure you would agree) not all changes are improvements. A change that might make one person more focused could cause another to become highly anxious.
As we see with stimulant use.
True, but there are far more meaningfully different ways to administer neurofeedback than stimulants.
Given a decision to take Addreall, for example, it would be trivial for someone of average intelligence to look at Wikipedia and figure out a good dose. In contrast, after deciding to do neurofeedback, how you should do it is extremely complex.
