Using your cell phone more than 50 minutes daily can affect the normal functioning of the human brain. The study, out tomorrow in JAMA, also provides another important, although indirect, confirmation of the power of LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) EEG neurofeedack. As noted in the following story, the new finding upsets the current orthodoxy […]

Several areas are commonly described. Thomas Brown, […]

I wrote to Ms. Beck, “Good article BUT…why no mention of neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback)? By now the professional literature is replete with studies demonstrating […]
Sleep, Nightmares, and REM-state Problem Solving
Recently, I noted that more people were landing on this web site from the keyword “Nightmares” than from EEG Neurofeedback, or ADHD, or marijuana (numbers 2 through 4 in popularity).
