This problem, which has been with us through many wars, will be exacerbated in the near future with the impending return of tens of thousands of veterans […]

The attendance was huge, given the late positioning in the schedule. On the previous occasion, in 2004, we were crowded into a smaller […]
The work with slow cortical potential training (SCP) is migrating from Tübingen to other universities in Europe where it is also being evaluated. It is therefore gaining quite a foothold, and we may even come to see an identification of neurofeedback with this particular approach among the academic community that is willing to study neurofeedback.

Perhaps similarly a new organization should be judged not by its first conference but by its second. The Society of Applied Neuroscience just held its second biannual conference in Seville, Spain, and by the above […]
The utility of EEG feedback or Neurofeedback in the resolution of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has already been established in research going back more than a decade. We now use it routinely with veterans in connection with our volunteer services (through Homecoming4veterans.org ). The world at large, however, remains to be convinced of the superiority of […]
In this newsletter we take a look at two recently published books that represent two ends of the spectrum of neurofeedback approaches. They reflect divisions within the field that have remained unreconciled over the decades. They also reflect their authors, who have taken very different approaches in their scientific research. The Open Focus Brain This […]
