In Part 1 of this series, I provided an introduction to and overview of the candidate EEG phenotypes as proposed by Johnstone, Gunkelman, & Lunt (2005). Readers may want to first view Part 1 to better understand the current discussion. Part 2 provides a detailed description of 5 of the 11 candidate EEG phenotypes along with their implications for neurofeedback treatment planning as described by Johnston, Gu ...

Researchers* recently proposed the existence of numerous EEG phenotypes. EEG phenotypes were derived through Johnston, Gunkelman, & Lunt's (2005) extensive clinical experience and the observation that similar EEG patterns recur in persons with different psychological disorders. EEG phenotypes are a useful method of EEG pattern categorization that requires visual inspection the raw EEG, and often, the quanti ...

Many neurofeedback clinicians and researchers are already aware of this latest free resource to be added to The Behavioral Medicine Report. However, I want to alert the general public, students, and other interested persons to this excellent document from The International Society of Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR): The Comprehensive Neurofeedback Bibliography. Check the end of this article for a link to ...

I obtained a letter that will be sent to the American Psychological Association (APA) from concerned psychologists regarding APA's failure to acknowledge the positive contributions of clinicians and researchers involved in quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and neurofeedback. The writer also briefly touches on a current controversy in the field that involves admittance of QEEG evidence into legal pr ...

I am pleased to provide this unsolicited announcement for my friends at The International Society For Neurofeedback & Research (ISNR). It is time to pre-register for the ISNR 2009 Annual Conference, which will be in Indianapolis, Indiana this year. ISNR conferences provide fantastic learning and training opportunities for professionals who are involved in biofeedback, neurofeedback, and quantitative EEG (QE ...

Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterized by significant deficits in social skills, attention/concentration, and communication, as well as emotional, cognitive, and behavioral impairments. Examples include Autism, Asperger's Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. I am not aware of any treatment that can "cure" ASD. Current therapies focus on symptom reduction, beha ...
