5 Preface and Ac knowledgments Th is book explores how the use of neurotechnologies to understand or improve the self influences people s subjectivity. The figure on the cover of this book aims to illustrate this effect. When you take a close look at the picture, you will see that the person is made of brainwaves and neurons. When you take a closer look, you will see brain maps (qeegs: the round heads), and also computer chips. And when you look very closely, you can see family trees and mandalas. This assemblage of brain entities, technical elements, environmental influences, and spiritual accents nicely illustrates the main argument of this book: working on the self by working on the brain does not reduce the self to the brain, but extends the self. Especially in the case of neurofeedback, a brainwave therapy, the self is extended with a brain, and with various physiological, psychological, material, and sometimes spiritual entities that all start working upon the person s feelings, problems, and lives. This new self is not static or fixed, and therefore the figure on the cover has no clear borders. I would like to thank my partner Marc Woldering for designing this cover as well as for all his other forms of support during the periods that I worked on this book. I conducted the research for this book while working for the Theory and History research group at the University of Groningen. I am very thankful for all ideas, support, and critical comments of my supervisors Maarten Derksen and Trudy Dehue, as well as for all comments v

6 vi Preface and Acknowledgments and suggestions from my other colleagues: Douwe Draaisma, Stephan Schleim, Jess Cadwallader, Sarah de Rijcke, Adeena Mey, Berend Verhoeff, Felix Schirmann, and Hilde Tjeerdema. I have always appreciated the flexible and inspiring atmosphere of TG and I am glad that after two research positions elsewhere I am now part of this group again. For this book, I studied brain work in many facets. I went to several neurofeedback clinics, interviewed neurofeedback clients and practitioners, was an observer during experiment, and was invited to attend a neurofeedback course, therapy, and some meetings. Without the help of all clients and practitioners, it would have been impossible to write this book. I would especially like to thank Roland Verment who received me several times in his neurofeedback clinic sometimes with groups of students and answered many of my questions by . I would also like to thank the European Neuroscience and Society Network that together with the University of Groningen financed a short-term visit to London to conduct interviews, observations, and archival research. Parts of this book have already been published in academic journals: an early version of Chap. 4 (Taking Care of One s Brain ) was published in History of the Human Sciences (Brenninkmeijer, 2010); a great part of Chap. 6 (Neurofeedback as a Dance of Agency ) was published in BioSocieties (Brenninkmeijer, 2013); and part of Chap. 3 (Glancing Behind the Scenes, earlier published as Brainwaves and psyches) was also published in History of the Human Sciences (Brenninkmeijer, 2015). In all these peer review processes, I received relevant comments, and I am grateful to the anonymous reviewers and editors of these journals. Moreover, I am also very grateful to the anonymous reviewers and the editors of Palgrave Macmillan who helped me to rewrite my manuscript and to turn it into a book.
