The group description has been modified slightly to accommodate needs
expressed by the community. In particular this relates to the desire
for a deeper understanding of NDS so that technologies arising out of
it can be better comprehended. This will enable discussion of NDS in
a broad sense in relation to behavior and process. This is important
if we want a better understanding of the transformational process and
be able to discuss our and our clients' experiences in ways that are
consistent with the theoretical basis of the technology we are using.
The modified description is below:
"This neurofeedback group is the first public group dedicated to
Neurofeedback and Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS) theory. It also
serves to bridge the gap between cutting-edge non-linear dynamical
approach to neurofeedback and the more traditional states-of-the art
of classic EEG feedback. All interested parties, consumers,
practitioners, manufacturers, software developers and theoreticians
are invited to offer the benefits of their perspective – NDS,
classical or otherwise --to those entering the field, while enjoying
shared community with colleagues.
NDS theory has much to contribute to our understanding of the EEG as
an emergent phenomena arising from the underlying processing of the
Central Nervous System (CNS) and its incredible interactivity with
other systems. Moreover, NDS offers profound insight into behavior in
its broadest sense and the transformational and developmental
processes. NDS is inter-disciplinary, cross-cultural and spans all
scientific domains. Our Neurofeedcommunity group is unique in being
totally dedicated to Neurofeedback and NDS theory, and that it is
governed by a process of group moderation according to the principles
of non-violent communication and utilization of NDS concepts. All
individuals willing to contribute to a mutually supportive community
are welcomed!"
