  • Abstract
    The anti-social behaviors of the people who are characteristic of abnormal action have seriously affected our society. Recent years, with the development of brain science, the features of human´s abnormal action have been identified by means of the low frontal lobe activities. However, in many countries, the corresponding systems for identification and treatment are in an insufficient situation. Thus, in this paper, an integrated portable and real-time neurofeedback system assisted by EEG has been developed. The algorithm for this system has been developed and its performance has been verified by the fMRI experiment. Through the experiment, we ensured that the subjects controlled and checked their frontal lobe activities by themselves via the integrated real-time neurofeedback system. And then, the potential human´s abnormal action could be not only early detected, but also eased via neurofeedback system. Therefore, we expected that our system can be more benefit to individuals and society.
