Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of neurofeedback treatment on assertiveness and anxiety of panic attack sufferers. Methods: This study due to its goals and assumptions is quasi-experimental. A pretest-posttest control/experimental group design was used. 20 people who refered to counseling and treatment centers and psychiatric clinics were selected in Tehran in 1395 through random sampling from patients who were diagnosed by physiatrists as having panic. Participants were divided into two groups of 10 patients. The experimental group received 20 sessions of neurofeedback treatment (45 minutes). The control group received no intervention. The two groups received Beck Anxiety Inventory questionnaire to determine the level of anxiety and Gambrill and Ridgecrest to evaluate their self-expression in both pretest and posttest. To analyze the data variance analysis and multivariate analysis of variance were used. Findigs: The results show that neurofeedback treatment, have significant effects on reducing anxiety and increasing assertiveness in patients with panic attack disorder (PConclusion: neurofeedback treatment is effective in reducing anxiety and increasing assertiveness of patients with panic disorder.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of games on the speed of learning and the transfer of information between the two hemispheres of brain. Method: The design of the study was quasi-experimental and the sampling estimation was based on Cohen's table. There were 15 patients in each group (experimental group and control) who voluntarily took part in the research and they were tested by pre-test and post-test. In order to measure the speed of data transfer between the hemispheres of the brain and the speed of learning among users, the device of drawing in the mirror was used. To analyze the data ANCOVA was performed by software SPSS 20. Findings: Results showed a significant relationship between playing games and the learning speed and transfer of information between the two hemispheres of the brain. Conclusion: Games influence the speed of learning and transfer of information between the two hemispheres of the brain.

Introduction: The main objective of this study was to compare the speed of learning and information transfer in the brain hemispheres between female and male university students. Method: To do this, 60 students of psychology of Roodehen Islamic Azad University, including 30 males and 30 females, who had experimental psychology courses in the first semester of the academic year 1393-1394 were selected to make the sample of the study. To measure the performance of the hemispheres, the Mirror Drawing Device was used in order to see whether the transfer of effect took place. One-way variance (ANOVA) and SPSS16 program were applied to analyze the data. Findings: The results indicated that there was no significant difference between the genders regarding the information transfer between the hemispheres while gender had a significant effect on the speed of learning. Conclusion: The results revealed that the speed of learning in female subjects was higher than that in the male subjects.
