The DAN Conference, Continued
Last week I did not really finish in reporting on the DAN Conference, so the newsletter agenda will just have to be pushed back, including my review of the BSC Conference (Biofeedback Society of California) this past weekend. This year’s Think Tank heard from the advocates of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time. So […]
The DAN Conference
Last week Sue and I were invited to attend the “Think Tank” meeting of the medical brain trust behind the “Defeat Autism Now” (DAN) movement. The group wanted to hear about neurofeedback. We were there at the invitation of Dr. Jaquelyn McCandless, psychiatrist and author of the book “Children with Starving Brains.” DAN was started […]
Empirical Evaluation of Inter-Hemispheric Training; Part II

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 […]

Most neurofeedback clinicians probably have no contact with the poor at all, so that message may not resonate, least of all as a way to sustain a practice. But the model […]
ISNR Conference Review, Part II
Frank Deits and his wife Mary happened to be driving through the Denver area at the time of the conference, so they came to the exhibit hall and made their rounds. Frank has a new pacemaker installed, and thereby hangs a tale. Fortunately I have not yet had reason to become acquainted with the jargon […]
