Mexican Society for Biofeedback and Neurofeedback
Kurt and I just returned from an exhilarating conference in Mexico that inaugurated the new Mexican Society for Biofeedback and Neurofeedback with its first “International Congress of Neurofeedback in Mexico”, taking place at the resort hotel Hacienda San Miguel Regla, in the mountainous regions north of Mexico City. The scheduling of the conference had been […]
How do we go forward?
In the June 25 2004 issue of Science Magazine there is a review article titled “Neuronal Oscillations in Cortical Networks.” The principal significance of this paper is simply that it is appearing in Science. This article could be one of the significant building blocks on which a reconstruction of brain models in the bioelectrical domain […]
Report from the AAPM Conference
The American Academy of Pain Management is an organization oriented toward integrated pain management, and welcomes health professionals of any stripe. To further insure that hierarchical status is not promoted, the name tag does not give a hint of pedigree. The ISNR did the same, with both standing in contrast to the AAPB, where labels […]
Reflections on the ISNR 2004 Conference in Fort Lauderdale

This topic is of interest to us on many levels, and the present newsletter iterates the one I wrote last year on this topic. First of all, […]
The Personal ROSHI

How exciting, except of course for those who are connected with the Efficacy Document, who got left behind in the last century. Now Chuck Davis is challenging us to change our thinking once again. What excited me about the Magnetic Stimulation capability […]
Where do we go from here?
Author: Tom Allen Last week’s newsletter about the Efficacy Document was widely distributed to the neurofeedback community at large. It gave rise to a discussion on the Biofeedback list which is still continuing. Tom Allen responded with a longer piece that is reproduced below in slightly edited form. Some introductory material is presented first. Where […]
Innovations in Education Conference
I reported on this conference in Salt Lake City two weeks ago, and here is another installment. On the second day of the conference there was a lot of discussion about juvenile probationers. Ron Muir presented on an innovative Charter School that he had started for probationers, which despite many handicaps was producing some excellent […]
