Train amplitude, asymmetry and synchrony all together

Multiplex attempts to enhance training for asymmetry inversions.

In Multiplex training, in addition to training the balance of alpha and/or beta between the sites of odd channels (frontal or left hemisphere) and even channels (posterior or right hemisphere), as occurs in BAL Alpha Beta, we train to improve synchronizations and excesses of slow (2-6 Hz) and fast (23-38 Hz) frequencies. When all this modulates the feedback, the brain can find an even more balanced way to self-regulate.

Reversal training can be done with BAL, but also with FRE designs. The latter is especially used when the inversion occurs due to large excesses or deficiencies of beta (especially the most functional range of 12-19 Hz) and alpha. So, by reducing slow and fast rhythms, we are helping the brain understand that it’s better to work from 7Hz (the gateway to consciousness) upwards, entering alpha and moving to beta, without needing to reach hypervigilance (above 22Hz).

Reversal training is important for improving mood and motivation during wakefulness, but also attention, cognition, and sleep quality. By including in the Multiplex feedback the increase in synchronies of the more subcortical rhythms (delta, theta, alpha, and gamma), which should be high in a higher-performing brain, and the reduction of beta coherences, which should be lower, we are helping to alleviate tensions/rigidity in motor responses and hypersensitivities in processing in sensory regions. This contributes to the brain understanding the path to a more global balance.

Feedback

These are separate feedbacks for each of the elements: beta inversions; alpha inversions; delta synchronization; theta synchronization; alpha synchronization; and gamma synchronization; beta coherence; slow reduction; and fast reduction.
