His research in neurofeedback has been to better understand the mechanism of neurofeedback protocols and the efficacy of said protocols. Arns feels that the biggest obstacle in the field of neurofeedback, preventing it form going mainstream, is that the majority of people who practice this are clinicians or are involved as vendors. He finds that there are many practices without the data and literature to back up their findings, such as Z-Score neurofeedback, Infraslow neurofeedback, and Neuroptimal.&nbsp;</p><p>Arms believes that the state of the field of neurofeedback is reflected in studies that turn up with negative results and hopes that the next decade of research is more fine-tuned and promising.&nbsp;</p>
