I just tried it, and it's dead.

Thanks,

and Pete,

the article was written here in the German version of Scientific American, several months ago. I read it and discovered that fault (rising alpha in the left frontal cortex instead of the right one). I was too lazy to correct it by a letter to the editor... I talked about that matter to some M. D.'s here, no reaction. It is too early for serious US-neurofeedback here...

Thanks for the great link. I was wondering which TLC Protocol could

be used like the following excerpt:

With that in mind, psychologist J. Ros­en­feld of Northwestern

University is trying to ease depression with neurofeedback. If

patients could correct their own brain-wave patterns, Rosenfeld

posits, they might be able to lift the gloom from their minds. So he

and psychologists Elsa Baehr and Rufus Baehr of the NeuroQuest

Neurofeedback Center in ton, Ill., developed a neurofeedback

training program in the mid-1990s. Whenever the amplitude of alpha

waves in the left frontal cortex rose above that in the right, the

participants would hear a pleasant note played on a clarinet. During

sessions lasting 15 to 30 minutes, the subjects worked to learn how

to keep the tone in their ears for increasingly longer periods.

The BALANCE design placed at F3 Cz G F4 Cz (linked references), either eyes

open or closed. If you have regular electrodes, place one reference on top

of the other with a little paste.

I believe this quote from the article has the idea reversed. You would want

to see alpha raise on the right if you were wanting to lift the gloom.

Am I reading it wrong?

You are reading it right. They were writing it wrong.

I think this article has described the protocol incorrectly. The reward is probably a pleasant sound when alpha increases on the right side. Alpha dominance on the left is associated with depression.
