Sig Othmer W06-2 Neocortical Dynamics: Brain Timing and State management

Requirements for neuro-regulation in the time domain will be discussed in more detail.

The case will be made that the brain organizes specific sensory processing and cognitive processing in a manner quite analogous to the means by which the brain maintains states of arousal, activation, and affect. These two domains may differ mainly in the realm of frequencies involved. It will become evident that the EEG reflects the essential regulatory activity of the brain directly. Hence, neurofeedback is a challenge to such regulatory mechanisms. We will introduce the concept of time binding, and use that to constrain models of neuro-regulation. The implications for protocol development will be discussed.

Objectives:

The attendee will be exposed to the assumptions that must underlie neuro-regulation in the time domain, including specifically the rationale for organization in terms of specific frequencies.

The listener will learn about concepts of time binding and about using time as coding space; about the rationale for organization in terms of

frequencies; and about the functional implications of amplitude variations.

The listener will learn why the principal protocols rely predominantly on specific frequency bands, and on specific brain regions.

WWA8EE4 Len Ochs An empirical approach to EEG Neurofeedback: What your mother never told you about neurofeedback, but what you were afraid was true, anyway.

There are two kinds of patients: easy ones, and hard ones. The easy ones respond well to the smallest, briefest interventions. These are the patients that those who trained us talk about. These are the ones with the miracle-treatment stories. However, many of the problems encountered by clinician using EEG neurotherapy were not systematically talked about those who trained them, leaving us feel inadequate at worst, and frustrated at best. These are the complex protocols that defy the training views and protocols we learned during our training. In fact, there is probably no single EEG treatment system that will everything that we want to do, especially since we have a long way to go to really know what we are doing -- even though we can approach problems now that are beyond many other treatment modalities.

This workshop starts with the reasons for preservation, irritability, confusion, anxiety - of clinicians and therapists, not the patients. These problems are generated because we have been left to thoughtless quoting of the EEG literature, parroting phrases of EEG neurotherapy teachers without thinking, and applying protocols past the time the patient stops making progress. Neither our trainers nor the literature have or can provide us with the particular treatment protocols that apply the specifics of the complicated patients before us, who linger linger in our practices after the miracle cure have departed. We are left with paucity of evaluation techniques for guiding therapy, and a lack of rules of thumb for thinking about dosage (sensor site locations, duration and frequency of sessions speed and criteria for changing thresholds). While there is ample information on what happens with particular protocols at CZ, 01, 02, C3, and C4, we are constrained to very limited sets of alternatives when those sites don’t work, or when the particular strategies used to "treat" those sites, don’t work.

This workshop frames the problems we face as the problem of treating central nervous system problems, which is synonymous with treating problems of stimulation intake, processing, and integration. These problems affect in one degree of another, across any of the diagnoses we treat, the domains of:

Arousal: sleeping at night, wakefulness and energy during the day; irritability, hyperactivity

Mood: anger, explosiveness, sadness, hurt

Cognition: concentration, attention, memory, sequencing, organizing, prioritizing

Movement: smoothness, coordination, and balance

Pain: fibromyalgia, tunnel syndromes, vascular types

The strategies we use to treat are not specific to diagnosis or problem domain, however. But they are specific to the EEG patterns found across the scalp. Yet the usual topographic EEG systems, while excellent for medical-legal discrimination tasks, becomes a clumsy tool for guiding treatment (although it need not remain this way). You will learn in this WS treatment tools for complex problems:

1. Information to apply to all types of EEG NF

and not just EEG driven stimulation.

2. How to start to discriminate easy from more complex treatment problems during the initial phone contact.

3. How to frame expectations about the treatment process for gaining allies in treatment.

4. How to work out payment plans that will allow longer treatments.

5. How to minimize working with patients with whom you will suffer

6. The person before you

7. How to gauge whether you are going in the right direction.

8. What tools you can use (spreadsheets, databases) to guide treatment

9. How to understand dosage of treatment.

10. How to understand the signs of over- dosage and what to do and say about them

11. Treatment strategies and principles to correct dosage problems.

12. How to understand the patterns patient experiences during the course of treatment.

13. A introduction to neocortical dynamics how they influence the course of treatment.

14. What to observe; how to ask questions; how to generate treatment alternatives, and then go back to making observations, etc.

You won’t learn everything during this workshop. You will not learn new (ritualistic) protocols to use .You will no find magical and easy solutions to patient’s lifelong problems.

You will not find ways for one therapist to treat 10 patients at once.

This workshop is for practitioners at all levels, although some experience and clarity about treatment disappointment with neurotherapy procedures will be useful.

"Improving flexibility of functioning through flexible treatment"

A8G2 Gary E. R. Schwartz, Ph.D.. ENERGY MEDICINE AND BIOENERGY FEEDBACK

This workshop presents the latest in theory and research concerning the emerging new science of energy medicine and its clinical applications, and introduces the new idea of bioenergy feedback - the transition from biofeedback to bioenergy feedback. The workshop begins with a review of systems theory and concepts of biophysical energy, and illustrates the profound implications that unfold when these two areas are conceptually and clinically married. Theory, research, and clinical applications of energy cardiology and energy neurology are illustrated. Research from the Human Energy Systems Laboratory at the University of Arizona are discussed, including new findings on hand energy registration and effects of Qigong on distant random event generators. Applications to bioenergy feedback will be discussed. Implications for understanding the healing effects of intentionality and prayer will be discussed, with practical applications to clinical treatment and prevention. Advances in technology, present and future, will be discussed as well.

A8Z2 Les Fehmi & Susan Shorr The Clinical Applications of a Model Which Relates Attention Processes, Neural Activity, Arousal Level, Performance and Personal Experience

This workshop will describe a model of attention in detail by delineating the qualities of various attention states and by discussing how each state corresponds to specific neural activity patterns. How attention states and neural activity directly impact arousal, performance and personal experience will be discussed. Once a theoretical understanding of attention and its correlates is achieved, clinical applications will be presented along with useful techniques and exercises for facilitating the easy movement between attention states and corresponding neural patterns and arousal levels. We will continue on to illustrate how performance and personal experience are effected by attentional and neutral flexibility. These techniques will be demonstrated to and practiced by participants. Our goal is to give participants a practical sense of how attention is the most fundamen- tal behavior we engage in and how it shapes the perception of the world around and within us. It is also our goal to provide each participant with a new experiential repertoire of attentional choices and the skill to employ these choices for appropriate clinical ends.

A8QQ4 Valdeane Brown & Sue Dermit & Sue Dermit Using Non-Linear, Dynamical Control Mechanisms to Simplify and Amplify the Power of Neurofeedback: Moving From the Five Phases to the Period 3 Approach

Clinical approaches to Neurofeedback are often highly detailed and complex, leading the beginning- and even experienced practitioner, to feel less than adequate in treating the variety of disorders that walk through the clinical door.

Such complex treatment protocols stem from a viewpoint which places disorder at the hub of our interventions- a "sickness based" model which, much like western medicine, assumes disorders are discrete entities necessitating different and distinct treatment protocols. Under this model, the challenge is to discover the "right" treatment, which is also likely to be "wrong" for another disorder.

The powerful yet simple strategies to be offered in this "hands-on" presentation stem from a way of working that places self- regulation, not disorder, at its center. We call this paradigm the Period 3 Approach.

This new approach integrates non-linear, dynamical approaches to control of feedback systems with the clinical wisdom of the prior 5 Phase Model of CNS Functional Transform- ation developed by Dr. Valdeane W. Brown.

The Period 3 Approach trains multiple feedback parameters simultaneously using two discrete, real-time channels of EEG. Unique non-linear, dynamical approaches to threshold setting are utilized in very precise ways that reflect the chaotic structure of the EEG itself. Vital to the safety and success of this approach is the use of appropriate inhibits. These will be detailed as well as sequences of augments. The extraordinary non-linear results currently noted from the use of an original (21 Hz), and a less commonly used (40 Hz), frequency bands will particularly be addressed, as will working with patients concurrently receiving ECT. You will also discover how you train two very different attentional states on the left and right side of the brain simultaneously, increasing the power of your interventions.

Combining these factors appropriately challenges each hemisphere to disrupt its specific attractors of dysfunction while being chaotically synchronized to basins of functional stability. This directly perturbs the entire CNS to maximally reorganize its dynamical structure and reestablish a healthy degree of chaos – i.e., the adaptive and resilient chaos that is characteristic of vital physiological systems. The goal is to increase the self-regulatory ability of the CNS, not to decrease particular symptoms, so a single, comprehensive theory can be applied effectively to all clinical phenomena -- regardless of the presenting complaint or emergent symptomatology of the client.

Neurofeedback is unparalleled as a vehicle for providing the brain with what it works with best- information. Given appropriate information the brain begins to self-regulate more effectively and efficiently. When this happens, a myriad of apparently disparate symptoms drop away. It doesn’t matter if you are talking about anxiety, depression, immune system dysfunction or pain- it is, after all, all the same nervous system.

The Period 3 Approach is equally applicable to remediation of symptoms as well as training for personal growth, spiritual development and optimal (peak) performance. Its simple and straightforward methods will particularly resonate with:

__ providers interested in appealing to the "personal growth" market as a means of reducing dependency on managed care;

__ providers who want to ensure rapid and powerful results while effectively eliminating unwanted side effects;

__providers challenged by a particularly diverse range of client problems, and entry level Neurofeedback practitioners who are excited but confused about how best to proceed with development of their own clinical practice.

A8L4 Stephen Larsen Mythic Imagination

Into the Dragon’s Lair: Delta, Theta, and the Mythic Unconscious (didactic /Experiential. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal, pens and markers)

Myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation. Joseph Campbell

In a tripartite model of consciousness, the Mandukya Upanishad shows us that sleep and dreaming exist on a continuum with waking consciousness, rather than discrete states as proposed by Western Psychology. The "A" in AUM refers to waking consciousness, the "U" to what is called "self-luminous" would of dreams, and "M" to deep sleep. There is a fourth and soundless state that penetrates all of them, and an advanced yogi is said to be able to negotiate all of these states (the turiya) with continuity of consciousness.

This consciousness-based idea powerfully infused the thinking of Joseph Campbell, much of his later scholarship, and Campbell also discussed it with Carl Jung (we describe the encounter in A Fire in the Mind: the Life of Joseph Campbell, Doubleday 1991). Jung, actually an early biofeedback researcher, brought in the idea of "the self- liberating power of the introverted mind." In an exquisitely "soft" form of BF, called the "autosymbolic method," we introduce participants to a methodology based on our own mythic imagery. Experiential exercises include visiting early states of consciousness, inner vision quest, shamanic encounter, and outlining a personal mythology. The further "within," we travel, the more mythic, or "arche- typal" becomes the phenomenology of the imagery and experiences that are encount- ered. We find ourselves on a shamanic journey to the underworld. Usually in the encounter with darkness there are also hidden spirit helpers, and treasures and mysteries to be opened. One returns to the daylight world with gifts-- for the self and other, and a revitalized sense of meaning
