"Review"
editThis article at first glance looks excellent. No need for clean-up or merge (this article is longer and better sourced than Brainwave entrainment). No synthesis (i.e., existence of thesis statement) per WP:SYN, not too technical per WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. To do:
- add a section on Brainwave entrainment on AVE and a {Main} link
- tag and merge identical references
- remove the new article header
Another source: James R. Evans, "Handbook of Neurofeedback: Dynamics and Clinical Applications," (Routledge, 2006)
Balanced or one-sided?
editWhile this article is relatively well sourced it does not seem to present a balanced picture and I sense a bit of confirmation bias. It reads a bit like a sales pitch and does not seem to countenance any suggestions of implausibility or inefficacy and the only negative mentioned is the brief, buried statement that AVE may cause seizures in certain individuals. While I hope that AVE is indeed a miracle solution to myriad maladies, it seems fair to say that an advisory may be in order, particularly in a relatively new and vogue topic. It may simply be the author's enthusiasm for the subject showing through, but a somewhat more tempered, restrained tone would seem preferable.
Maybe I'm off base though.
