EEG Renaissance in Medicine and Neuroscience

EEG Renaissance in Medicine and Neuroscience

2009-10-01 00:00:00 38m

In the 1990s Prof. Yuri Kropotov started his research in the field of quantitative EEG and evoked potentials in normal subjects, in ADHD population and in neurological patients to whom intracranial electrodes were implanted for diagnosis and therapy. 

In 1998 he began using neurofeedback and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for treatment ADHD and some other brain dysfunctions.

The Academic Press just published his new book: Quantitative EEG, Event-Related Potentials and Neurotherapy which is quickly becoming the must have reference and textbook for QEEG students and practitioners.

The integrated model of emotion, thinking, feeling and self-regulation: Applications of HRV to Biofeedback and Neurofeedback training

Brain profiling in clinical and forensic practice

Dr Rowe’s presentation discusses the use of scientific theory in driving clinical assessment and treatment through the use of individual patient neurophysiological, neuropsychological and psychological

QEEG changes observed through recovery in a case of post-concussion syndrome

Quantitative EEG is a direct measure of the electrical energies of the brain which are produced by synapses on the dendrites and cell bodies of cortical pyramidal cells. The network dynamics necessary for proper function of the brain can be disrupted following a traumatic brain injury and can persist for years following even apparently minor injuries with no associated loss of consciousness.

Frontal slowing as a protective mechanism in trauma

The QEEG data collected in STARTTS Neurofeedback clinic indicates that the excessive temporal lobe alpha and frontal lobe disturbances are two profiles seen most frequently in traumatized clients.

Psychological perspectives of working memory systems function

An important task of the human central nervous system is to link sensory information to appropriate response. This is the defining characteristic of adaptive behaviour in humans. Such adaptability is presumed to be mediated by working memory systems that process and respond to detected stimuli according to experience, needs, context and intention, and underpin the capacity to realise goals and plans.

A practical methodology for coherence training

This presentation will review the research of Dr. Robert Coben with Autistic Children with a view to understanding his coherence training methodology.  Dr. Gary Schummer has analysed and adapted this methodology in his own research with ADHD and Autistic Spectrum children.  Drs. Coben and Schummer base their coherence training on the Neuro Rep analysis of  Dr. William Hudspeth.

Efficacy of neurofeedback treatment in ADHD: The effects on inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity: A meta-analysis. (video link)

Since the first reports of neurofeedback treatment in ADHD in 1976 many studies have been carried out investigating the effects of neurofeedback on different symptoms of ADHD such as inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. This technique is also used by many practitioners, but the question as to the evidence-based level of this treatment is still unclear.
