FLEXIBILITY AND APPROPRIATENESS -AN UNDERPINNING WE CAN ALL AGREE UPON (2422 views) Flexibility and appropriateness of brain function are put into context, and show up at the core of many applications of neurofeedback. It is not so much an issue of "too much" or "too little" as it is one of the brain having the ability to be flexible and appropriate, to access brain states that are suited to the task or situation.

Connection, Inhibition and Path-Specific Relaxation Training (1527 views) The brain is a hyperconnected system, containing on the order of 10 billion neurons, each of which can have hundreds or thousands of connections to other neurons. The brain depends on dynamically managing trillions of connections, to regulate the interactions between all of its parts. How are all of these connections managed toward useful ends? The key lies in the ability to network to selectively enable or disable conn...

THE NEURO-RELAXATION PARADIGM (1603 views) Neuronal Regulation is a key concept in neurofeedback. Rather than being a trivial concept related to a simple relaxation state, neurorelaxation means affecting the brain at its most dynamical level, implementing change that is transformational in nature.

INFORMATION, ENTROPY, AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE (1276 views) The concept of information and entropy is key to understanding how we are able to have the ability to make choices. A brain-oriented view of this leads to helpful insights regarding neurofeedback and its potential for human development.

ON PERSONAL CONNECTIVITY (1007 views) When we look at our personal connectivity over time, we realize that our own interpersonal connections are vast and profound. This should affect how we choose to view each other, and act accordingly.

A Relaxation/Activation model for EEG Alpha (1814 views) EEG Alpha training is put in the context of the entire brain, and its normal level of cycling. This can help to motivate neurofeedback training, and connectivity training in particular.

NEUROFEEDBACK - WHAT TO DO (OR NOT DO) (1537 views) Neurofeedback is a process, not a job. When practitioners and trainees approach EEG training as a process of allowing, not doing, results will be forthcoming.
