This article is a call to action for implementation research in the field of electroencephalogram (EEG) neurofeedback. While the effectiveness of neurofeedback in improving clinical outcomes has been well established and is continuing to expand into a variety of symptom presentations and mechanisms of action, there is lack of research bridging the gap between the research setting and neurofeedback's implementation in mental health clinics. Our review of the published research to date revealed no articles incorporating the burgeoning utility of implementation science into neurofeedback research to bridge the gap and provide practical information about how to use neurofeedback in real-world settings. Research is urgently needed to explore the feasibility and process of implementing neurofeedback in the clinical setting, without which the applicability and usefulness of outcome studies are called into question.
本文呼吁在脑电图（EEG）神经反馈领域开展实施研究。虽然神经反馈在改善临床结果方面的有效性已得到充分证实，并且正在不断扩展到各种症状表现和作用机制，但缺乏研究来弥合研究环境与神经反馈在心理健康诊所的实际应用之间的差距。我们对迄今为止已发表的研究进行回顾后发现，没有文章将实施科学的新兴效用纳入神经反馈研究，以弥合这一差距并提供有关如何在现实环境中使用神经反馈的实用信息。迫切需要开展研究，以探索在临床环境中实施神经反馈的可行性和过程，否则结果研究的适用性和实用性将受到质疑。
