BRAINnet – Innovative Integration Analysis Challenge
From BRAINnet – Brain Research And Integrative Neuroscience Network
The purpose of this challenge is to promote a more integrative and innovative approach to Brain (EEG) – Body (Heart Rate) analysis. Brain Resource is sponsoring the challenge with the winner to receive $5,000USD.
The Challenge
Take 20 EEG and Heart Rate recordings from children diagnosed with ADHD and [...]
Neurofeedback and the Brain
Neurofeedback is an emerging neuroscience based clinical application, and understanding the underlying principles of neurofeedback allows the therapist to provide referrals or treatment, and provides clients with a framework for understanding the process. The brain’s electrical patterns are a form of behavior, modifiable through “operant conditioning,” with the excessive brain frequencies reduced, and those with [...]
Brain Power
This video was recently shown again on CBS 60 Minutes. It is a great video talking about using brain controlled interfaces.
Brain Power – Harnessing the Power of the Brain
August 9, 2009 4:35 PM
People who are completely paralyzed due to illness or trauma are getting help communicating with a new technology that connects their brains [...]
New research shows: Neurofeedback is an ‘Evidence-Based’ treatment for ADHD.
Nijmegen, July 16th 2009 – Neurofeedback – also called EEG Biofeedback – is a method used to train brain activity in order to normalize Brain function and treat psychiatric disorders. This treatment method has gained interest over the last 10 years, however the question whether this treatment should be regarded as an Evidence-Based treatment was [...]
Thalamic Involvement in the Generation of the Alpha Rhythms
Alpha… it’s not a simple idling rhythm… let’s look at alpha generators:
The thalamic involvement in the generation of the alpha rhythm is being under-valued when looking at the LORETA images of alpha current source generators. The alpha power may come from the sources that LORETA identifies, but the thalamus is intimately involved in alpha [...]

The Boy with the Incredible Brain
This is the breathtaking story of Daniel Tammet. A twenty-something with extraordinary mental abilities, Daniel is one of the world’s few savants. He can do calculations to 100 decimal places in his head, and learn [...]
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: LORETA findings
Thanks to Jay Gunkelman who made a very informative post on January 27 on this forum entitled Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. There he described the EEG patterns that we should expect and detect when evaluating for AD or other dementias.
I’d like to just throw out there a few other findings that were discovered in a [...]
A discussion on LORETA software use and licensing.
April 30, 2009
Leslie Sherlin, PhD
There recently has been some discussion regarding the use of low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography or LORETA, sLORETA and eLORETA. I felt compelled to make a few comments regarding this since there may be some confusion of how LORETA works and the usage of LORETA as an inverse solution specifically the [...]
Neurofeedback Foundation Award 2009
In his role as the Managing Director of the Foundation for Neurofeedback and
Applied Neuroscience John Fisher recently announced the Foundation’s selection of a recipient of the Neurofeedback Foundation Award.
The Foundation gives an award to the author(s) of the publication which has
“contributed the most to furthering the field of neurofeedback” [...]
