In Memory of E. Roy John PhD – World Renowned Neuroscientist
Life offers us many teachers, and we generally only learn a small sliver of what they have to offer from the breadth and depth of their experience.
One such teacher was E. Roy John, who most knew as a brain researcher, though he had so much more to offer… did you know he was “blacklisted” [...]
Congressional Briefing on TBI for Wounded Soldiers
The Brain Injury Task Force offered its recommendations to Congress today from a conference last fall, sponsored by the congressional task force on brain injuries.
The group suggested that an assessment tool be used in wartime to determine if a soldier should return to duty. It also recommended improvements to traumatic brain injury research, identified the [...]
Letter to APA regarding qEEG
This letter has been sent to the American Psychological Association because they have for so long seemly ignored a growing number of psychologists who provide neurofeedback and QEEGs to people who have many disorders , often, disorders that were”incurable”.
Our organization needs to provide information regarding the types of training/treatment that has [...]
EEG based Personalized Medicine in ADHD
Neurophysiological studies in ADHD have shown a relatively uniform picture with regards to EEG – QEEG data (based on group data). Most studies find excess slow brain activity (theta) (Hermens et al., 2004; Mann et al., 1992; Chabot and Serfontein, 1996; Clarke et al., 1998, 2001; Lazzaro et al., 1998, 1999) and a decreased fast [...]

qEEG Artifacting
The qEEG represents the statistical manipulation of the raw EEG, so an understanding of these manipulations should precede any discussion of the qEEGs clinical indications for protocols. Without such knowledge any given finding may be misinterpreted.
Following the careful recording of the EEG, the quantitative analysis is begun with the sampling of the data to be [...]
Why do a qEEG for Neurotherapy?
There are many in the field of Neurotherapy who do not perform qEEGs prior to designing a clinical intervention. These people are currently practicing well within the standard of practice for this rapidly evolving field. Many within this group have standard protocols which are used on all clients, with various alterations to respond to the [...]
Patterns seen in the qEEG and their indicated interventions
Diffuse slowing, with slower alpha
The ascending reticular activating system stimulates the diffuse thalamic projection system and sets the general arousal level of the brain. With an increase in the CNS arousal level, there is an increase in the mean frequency of alpha and a decreased slowing. With decreases in arousal there is a slowing of [...]
