Dr. M. Barry Sterman, along with Dr. Sarah H. Lisanby, discuss neurofeedback and other brain imaging and treatment modalities during a live interview on WNYC.org public radio. The radio segment entitled, “Please Explain: Neurofeedback,” is streamed online at no cost. Check the end of this report for a link to this interview.

Dr. Sterman and Dr. Lisaby explicate a number of different brain related treatments that include neurofeedback and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and neuroimaging techniques, such as quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG). Other general topics include a basic description of the human EEG, the role of the thalamus in brain circuits, EEG activation and mood, operant conditioning and the Law of Effect, and long-term potentiation (LTP). They also accept questions from radio listeners who ask about the treatment of migraine headaches, Autism, peripheral neuropathy, and major depression.

I am very pleased that Dr. Sterman was selected for this interview as he is a “polished” and expert speaker on the topic of human physiology and neurofeedback. In fact, The Behavioral Medicine Report republished one his articles that you can read here.

Enjoy.
