While the brain is ruled to a large extent by chemical
neurotransmitters, it is also a bioelectric organ. The collective
study of Quantitative ElectroEncephaloGraphs (QEEG-the conversion
of brainwaves to digital form to allow for comparison between
neurologically normative and dysfunctional individuals), Event
Related Potentials (ERPs - electrophysiological response to
stimulus) and Neurotherapy (the process of actually retraining
brain processes to) offers a window into brain physiology and
function via computer and statistical analyses of traditional EEG
patterns, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of
attention, anxiety, mood and behavior.
The volume provides detailed description of the various EEG rhythms
and ERPs, the conventional analytic methods such as spectral
analysis, and the emerging method utilizing QEEG and ERPs. This
research is then related back to practice and all existing
approaches in the field of Neurotherapy - conventional EEG-based
neurofeedback, brain-computer interface, transcranial Direct
Current Stimulation, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - are
covered in full. Additionally, software for EEG analysis is
provided on a companion web site so that the theory can be
practically utilized on the spot, and a database of the EEG
algorithms described in the book can be combined with algorithms
uploaded by the user in order to compare dysfunctional and
normative data.
While it does not offer the breadth provided by an edited work,
this volume does provide a level of depth and detail that a single
author can deliver, as well as giving readers insight into the
personl theories of one of the preeminent leaders in the
field.
Features & Benefits:

treatment of disorders, such as ADHD, Schizophrenia, Addiction,
OCD, Depression, and Alzheimer's Disease
companion web site containing software which analyzes EEG patterns
and database sample EEGs / Reader can see actual examples of EEG
patterns discussed in book and can upload their own library of EEGs
for analysis
