Untitled Document No, this article is not about chess. Larry Hirshberg authored a superb defense of EEG Biofeedback (EBF) in application to ADHD that appeared in Expert Reviews of Neurotherapeutics last year but just came to my attention [Expert Rev. Neurotherapeutics 7(4), 315-319 (2007)]. He makes a number of arguments that we should all have […]
When working with reward frequencies above 0-3 Hz, we have found that a consistent relationship emerges between optimal reward frequencies for left and right-side training. If an optimal reward is found at any right-side site, such as T4-P4, then the left-side reward is expected to be at or close to 2 Hz higher. Now that […]
Several neurofeedback clinicians have been reporting that they are tracking EEG amplitudes during training as a means of identifying the optimum reward frequency. The reported observation is that inhibit amplitudes, or amplitudes across the spectrum as seen in a 2D spectral plot, fall significantly when training with a reward frequency which produces a calm and […]
We are seeing increasing numbers of very difficult children. They may come diagnosed as Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Tourette’s, severe ADHD, or some combination of the above. The presenting symptoms might include unstable mood, physical agitation and hyperactivity, obsessive fears, emotional reactivity and over-reaction to perceived threats, need for […]
Author: Larry Lewis I first encountered Bill Hudspeth’s method of coherence analysis in his presentation at the Connectivity Conference in Armonk NY on July 29-31, 2005; and I am writing this exposition of his method because it seemed to me that his work deserves to be more widely known. Not only is his approach highly […]
The current issue of Biological Psychiatry offers a trenchant study titled “Are There Differences in the Symptoms that Respond to a Selective Serotonin or Norepinephrine Reuptake inhibitor?” by Jay Craig Nelson, Laura Portera, and Andrew C. Leon (Volume 57(12), June 15, 2005, 1535-1542). Remarkably, in two sequential, independent, randomized controlled large-scale studies (253 and 168 […]
