This study was conducted to examine that the training of automatic threshold setting in the neurofeedback training for female college students shows poor training effect compared to those of fixed threshold setting. In order to carry out this, Twenty-five female college students were randomly assigned to the automatic and fixed threshold groups and than 10 sessions of SMR increase Protocol were conducted. The variation of SMR, Theta, and Highbeta frequency brain waves over the sessions of training, the number of feedback given in each session, and the degree of physical discomfort and cognitive discomfort reported by participants in the training process were measured. Our results revealed that although the differences in the amount of brainwave variation between groups were not statistically significant, More feedback was provided to the fixed threshold group and this difference was statistically significant. but there was no significant difference in the degree of discomfort between the two groups. Implications and limitations of this study as well as suggestions for future study were also discussed.
