Can prefrontal cortex training be used to manage Tourette Syndrome? Let's find out.
This blog documents a personal case study exploring functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neurofeedback training for managing Tourette Syndrome symptoms. Every session, every score, every observation — documented daily in real-time.
What You'll Find Here
- Daily Reports: Raw, unfiltered documentation of each neurofeedback training session
- YGTSS Scores: Self-administered Yale Global Tic Severity Scale assessments
- Session Data: Screenshots and metrics from the Mendi fNIRS device
- Observations: Honest reflections on what's working, what isn't, and what's surprising
Why This Exists
Because 17 years of managing Tourette Syndrome builds a certain restlessness. Because consumer neurofeedback devices are finally accessible. Because someone has to be the guinea pig, and documenting it publicly might help the next person who's desperate enough to try something unconventional.
This is not medical advice. This is one person's transparent experiment with their own brain, documented for anyone curious enough to follow along.
