I would like to take an opportunity to welcome our new members- there have been quite a few of you recently! And Penny- I was thrilled to see you join, as...
Molly, While I'm sure that respiratory-related issues can serve as extrinsic constraints I wouldn't refer to the their effect as "slow<ing> brain function"....
Yes, when i noted slowing brain function i was refering to how folks describe the observable clinical symptoms they feel such as lethargy, ADD, feeling...
By the way, one of my very young clients' gastroenterologists told his mother that severe behavior problems are typical of children with colitis. The child...
I continue to be amazes at how much Sieg gets right and, perhaps even more stunningly, what he gets wrong. It is real wonder how that conjunction occurs. In...
Wow! To a large extent this is actually what you, Val, came up with already 10 years ago if I am not wrong : 5-phase-model! I wonder if this new view of Sieg...
Yes, that is what's amazing. The same ideas that were "impossible" or "wouldn't work" etc are now being presented by those who said they weren't possible....
Val, Invariable the shift will come because of the outstanding advantages of a system such as NeurOptimal that works with process in this way. As threatened as...
John, Interesting questions and the short answer is that those conferences are not only unimportant, in many ways they are irrelevant. And, yes, no longer ...
John, So here's the thing. What they do, and what they present on, is either something we already done (and have done for years) OR it's completely irrelevant...
Val, That is very interesting. It makes sense that standardized scores, norms, averages etc are not compatible with NDS based neurofeedback. It seems that to...
Here I disagree... When I go to such conferences, there are always people I talk to for whom Val's position makes intuitive sense. And he does a far better...
Tom, Yes I do understand. What I say and have presented DOES make intuitive sense, unless you¹ve been taught otherwise. And I do appreciate that you believe...
My agreement with Val is based on my experiences of presenting information about NDS & NeurOptimal to classical audiences. Whilst there are some who recognize...
Hi all! I've been asked to train a 3 & 1/2 year old boy who has been diagnosed with mild pervasive developmental disorder. I've never run someone so young....
Hi Valerie, In almost 10 years training kids I only once tried training a 4 year old boy. It did not work - he wanted to get up and run around all the time....
Hi Valerie, I train many children with cerebal palsy and all kinds of disabilities and disorders. I trained a 4 year old trisomic girl who was very agitated...
Hi Corinne, Wow, what beautiful stories; thank you. I was planning on using a DVD for him, so he could watch his favorite cartoon, but, after reading your post...
Hi Valerie: A few years ago I got a call from a mother who was interested in having me work with her 4 y.o who was diagnosed with PDD. I had never seen such a...
When I get one of these overaroused, hypersensitive kids, I'll give the kid an old ear clip to take home to use in "practice sessions" of putting it carefully...
One other idea is to train the care provider, allowing the child to climb up and down the the primary's lap. Over a few sessions the child often will allow...
Thank you everyone for all of the guidance; it's very encouraging. This little boy's mother actually suggested that he sit in her lap during the neuro, I...
That's how I trained a three year old, in her mothers lap looking at books Good luck, Heather iPhone message On Aug 16, 2009, at 9:54 AM, "onewellall"...
Hello everyone-- I am relatively new to neurofeedback, and am in the process of getting up and running in my practice with it. I have invested lots of money...
Hi, Nancy, You may not know it, but there is also a Yahoo group for Zengar which you could join and post your question to. I'm sure you'll get responses there...
Hi Nancy, Val and Sue have a great description of zengar nfb on the site. Look at the history on the site too. Neither have I ever had any negative reactions...
I have four systems--ZIN, Brainpaint, Cygnet, and LENS--which I use interchangeably. Each is different and has its strengths. Typically I use one or another...
Hi Nancy: I agree with Catherine about both your wonderfully refreshing openness and the idea of reading about nonlinear system dynamics. Some books that might...
... This might be more appropriate to post on the Zengar forum, but I was wondering if the system can be used with other amplifiers, like ProComp or...
