Frequency of Training There are reasons why I would not personally train every day. One reason is that the effects of a training session may be seen anywhere from immediately during/after the session to 12-24 hours later. So even in the beginning, training every day tends to make if difficult to recognize connections between one […]

I’m aware of several folks who have trained bipolar one-channel montages just below O1 and O2, at the top edge of the inion ridge, for balance and gait issues (certainly cerebellar issues) and claim to have gotten very good results.  They used a bipolar and inhibited 4-7 Hz while very mildly reinforcing 15-18 Hz activity. […]

Gender-Related Differences Everything I’ve ever seen about brain function–I don’t track anatomy and geography–shows little or no gender difference. All of the work done on alpha and beta symmetry has obviously been done with men and women, and everything backs up the beta-stronger-left, alpha-stronger-right findings for emotional stability.

Also Eneuresis My experience has generally been that enuresis responds well to speeding up the left side of the brain, either by reducing slow activity or by training up beta (or both), depending on the client. This is especially true of bed-wetters who fall asleep easily, sleep too deeply, and are hard to awaken in […]

Bell’s Palsy is usually related to an injury to a cranial nerve.  If you can’t identify a source of the injury, chances are it was fairly minor and should improve by itself fairly quickly.  There is a correlation between immune system weakness and recurrence, so trying some alpha training at P4 or O1 might be a […]

Handedness and Training Way back in the 90s the Othmers did a nice little study where they took a group of children and measured everything they could think measure on them prior to training, then measured again post training. It between they simply trained C3/A1 and C4/A2 per their (at that time) standard ADHD protocol. […]

There really isn’t a recognized pattern for bipolar on the TQ – or in the QEEG to the best of my knowledge. There is some indication that it may be, like other affective issues, a Tone problem. When the Autonomic Nervous System is stuck in Sympathetic mode, the client in manic; due to adrenal exhaustion […]

Headphones You can’t use headphones with any kind of electrical circuitry, volume controls, noise-canceling ability, etc. Use plain headphones or earbuds. If you do an internet search on ear clip headphones or clip on headphones, there are many inexpensive brands that do not interfere with electrodes on the scalp the way standard headphones may.

Hemispheric Dominance If you are right-handed, as is roughly 92% of the population, your left hemisphere is dominant for language; right for music and emotional response. If you are left-handed, there is about an 85% chance that you’ll be the same as the righties. Roughly 1.2% of the population has brains that have organized to […]

There are two type of damage that can result from head injuries: damage to gray matter (the neuron cell bodies) or matter to white matter (the neuron connective filaments). Gray matter damage Gray matter damage results in loss of neurons, no matter what speed they were firing, in an area. Areas of very low amplitudes […]
