PT Lapse and the Problem of AntiPsychotics for Mood Disorder
The cover of Psychology Today Dec 2013 points toward an ad for an overused medication of marginal value and violates journalistic standards
Neurofeedback WORKS–How?
Neurofeedback efficacy is established. Mechanism of Action is complex and not well understood.
Biofeedback, Head Trauma, and Neuroplasticity
Four topics for today’s post, links to two videos, report of ground breaking research on neuroplasticity and EEG biofeedback, and a note on the limits of ADHD stimulant medication. The sources are far-flung, but they have in common support for the widely misunderstood value of Neurofeedback. First, I am posting a link to a video […]
Can EEG Tell If Telekinesis Is A Magician’s Trick?
Can objects be moved by thought alone? A dubious notion, eh? So when the History Channel asked me to look at the brain waves of “a mentalist” I didn’t have much interest. Back when I was in psychiatric training Uri Geller was at the Stanford Research Institute demonstrating New Physics and mind-over-matter with mental spoon-bending. […]

More on Electro-Magnetic Radiation and Cell Phones
Below I have posted a round up of stories on the recent news from WHO on the increased risk of gliomas tied to heavy cell phone use. This issue is obviously still completely unsettled. As I have written before, I have no doubt about the effect of low energy electro-magnetic (E-M) radiation on the human […]
EEGym® adds QEEG Services
The QEEG (quantitative EEG, a map of brain electrical patterns referenced to normative databases) issue is major in neurofeedback circles. Most of us old-timers don’t really see a need for QEEG in determining protocols–it is definitely not necessary for the three most often used systems in at EEGym. But I’ve come around to see its tremendous value diagnostically; sometimes it can tell us what is wrong with the patient with dramatic clarity, whether it is old head injury, sleep disorder, ADHD, headache, or generalized memory problems.
Neurofeedback for Post-Deployment Soldiers
