Two-Channel Awake-State Training Options

It is possible to record and train on two channels of EEG data at the same time with most of the EEG amplifiers and software now available. We might choose to train the two channels separately at the same time. Or we might combine the two channels in order to train on the sum and/or […]

Understanding Bipolar Placement

In the following I hope to demystify some of the aspects of neurofeedback training with bipolar placements, or at least provide substantiation for some of the statements I have been making about it. We are concerned with reward-based training with narrow-band filters that select a particular training frequency. The bipolar montage feeds a differential amplifier […]

Hysteria and Hysteresis

There is a Buddhist saying, “you can never step into the same river twice.” And it may similarly be true that we never train the same brain twice. One of abiding mysteries about our way of training is that the advantages of optimizing reward frequency can be so obvious to us and yet remain so […]

A Critical Appraisal of Inter-Hemispheric Training

In newsletters #40 and #41 we showed cumulative data on clients for whom the dominant protocol consisted of inter-hemispheric training with single-channel bipolar placement. The results have proved to be generally better than what we were able to do with our prior lateralized placements. The reality is even more compelling than what is shown by […]

Empirical Evaluation of Inter-Hemispheric Training; Part II

Last week we presented data on the impulsivity subtest of the TOVA CPT for clients who received neurofeedback training exclusively with the inter-hemispheric placements. This week we present companion data on the inattention subtest. The data were compiled for us by John Putman, and were recently published in the Journal of Neurotherapy (Volume 9 (1), […]

Empirical Evaluation of Inter-Hemispheric Training

To accompany Sue’s description of the historical development of our clinical approach at the 2005 ISNR meeting, I presented our current data obtained with inter-hemispheric training. These results were compiled by John Putman, and were also just published in the Journal of Neurotherapy (Volume 9 (1), pp 37-52). The published data were restricted to those […]
