All brains produce a variety of electrical wave patterns which reflect
what the brain is doing. This article describes the process where the
brain's own output is used to help people change their brain's
functioning which is commonly called, neurofeedback training. An
additional science called Quantitative EEG (brain maps) is used to help
assess the kind of brain training that holds the most promise. Several
of the major conditions for which neurofeedback training has proven
most successful are outlined below, including the key scientific
studies that support the sort of training that is used. Written by D.
Corydon Hammond, PhD
This is a basic description of quantitative electroencephalography
(EEG) in the context of neurotherapeutic application. Issues associated
with spectral analysis of human EEG are discussed and an example
quantitative EEG assessment is provided. Written by David Kaiser, PhD
- Quantitative Electroencephalographic Process for ADHD
The development of a quantitative electroencephalgraphic (QEEG)-based
procedure for use in the assessment of attention deficit-hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) was examined through a series of studies investigating
test reliability and validation issues. Written by Vincent J. Monastra,
Joel F. Lubar and Micheal Linden.
The brain of a depressed person functions differently from most people.
Neurofeedback is beginning to offer methods to help these brains get
back to normal. Written by Dr. Corydon Hammond, PhD
MTBI is an often "missed diagnosis" because the CAT scans or MRI's done
after a head injury won't show the damage of some injuries. But
diagnostic EEG will show changes in the brain that are associated with
over 20 persistent symptoms, some of them delayed. But neurofeedback is
often very helpful, even years later. Written by Joseph Horvat, PhD and
D. Corydon Hammond, PhD
Some brains are under-active and others are over-active which result in
different moods. Using alcohol and drugs to help cope with life's moods
too easily leads to addiction and doesn't really help with the moods in
the end. For 30 years neuro-feedback has been used to help those caught
up in addictions. The latest research is having such success that it is
changing the forms of standard treatment in addictions centers.? At
last there is something that really helps many get over addictions
without lapses or requiring continual support systems and treatment
centers.Written by Al Collins, PhD
There are more than a dozen forms of disordered sleep that affect an
estimated 40 million Americans. Neuro-feedback is an established means
to retrain the brain to restore a more normal experience of sleep.
