Abstract:: Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback technology is a non-invasive training method based on the development of brain science and behavioral cognitive science to improve brain function and structure. Working memory is a memory system in individuals for maintaining and processing information in psychological cognitive activities, and it plays an important role in human learning, reasoning and creativity and other advanced cognitive activities. Applying EEG neurofeedback technology to working memory training can effectively improve individual working memory performance, regulate individual mental and emotional states, and improve cognitive functions of related brain areas. The researches on the application and challenges of EEG neurofeedback technology in working memory training are included in the study, and a comprehensive review is carried out from the aspects of EEG neurofeedback to regulate the neural information processing engineering of working memory, EEG neurofeedback to activate working memory and related activation brain regions, the system composition and training types of working memory training based on electrical neurofeedback, the influencing factors of the working memory training system based on EEG neurofeedback. Furthermore, the problems existing in current related researches and the development trend of future research are discussed.
