Theoretical Models Underlying Neurofeedback (SKU: AG-W2-081)
Futurehealth Workshop by Sigfried Othmer
One of the most striking aspects of neurofeedback is that it addresses such a broad variety of clinical conditions with a very simple set of techniques. What can explain such generality of effects? It is helpful to adopt a network model in which neurofeedback addresses the ?hub? of a regulatory network that is hierarchical in nature, and to which yet other regulatory networks are intimately coupled. A second key aspect is that it addresses the problems of regulation where the most stringent constraints apply. |

Thought Control/Modification Through Meditation (SKU: AG-P-179)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Robert Schram
"Thought Control/Modification Through Meditation" presents methods and techniques to deal with the issues of: stress, conflict, worry, anxiety, pain, suffering, and overload. Some people are attached to these issues and incorporate them into their daily thoughts allowing them to become counterproductive and sometimes destructive. In many cases detachment to these thoughts can lead to personal liberation and freedom. |

Trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation (TCDC): a old new tool for modifying brain function (SKU: AH-P-351)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute plenary presentation by Jay Gunkelman.
TCDC is a technique that has been known for many decades, but has only recently begun to have clinical application interest. The ability to excite or suppress function locally is easily accomplished, though there are technical details that are critically important. |

Trauma and Recovery: The Integration of Neurofeedback and Psychotherapy (SKU: AH-W4-290)
Futurehealth Workshop by Sebern Fisher
Post-traumatic stress disorder is, at its foundation, a disorder of the brain, particularly of the brain's ability to regulate fear. The brain oscillates between high sympathetic arousal as manifest in nightmares and startle responses and parasympathic under arousal, manifest at its worst in dissociation. PTSD is a brain in the grip of fear. The regulation of fear is the single most important contribution neurofeedback makes in the remediation of PTSD.
This workshop will focus on the integration of neurofeedback and psychotherapy in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, both acute and chronic. |

Trauma Resolution: A Multi-Modality Approach (SKU: AG-W2-57)
Futurehealth Workshop by Nancy White
Although emotional trauma is increasingly seen as a single condition that expresses itself in many ways, there currently exists no overall diagnosis for it. The DSM IV simply lists specific symptoms (Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, etc.) without addressing the possibility of a larger dynamic. As a result, emotional trauma may not be treated for what it is; a syndrome of which the individual symptoms are just component expressions. Once the practioner can see and identify the underlying dynamic of emotional trauma, he or she can achieve better outcomes.
Chronic Trauma Syndrome is best resolved, from this presenters experience, with a multi-modality approach that addresses at least three levels:
Neurochemical balance
Perceptual renormalization
Healing the unconscious
In this workshop, we describe Chronic Trauma Syndrome, introduce a number of modalities and how they may work in appropriate combination for various patients, and offer case histories demonstrating the potential of a multi-modality approach. |

Treatment of emotional trauma (SKU: AG-P-139)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Paul Swingle
Emotional trauma is often revealed in the intake QEEG. The pattern is a blunted or absent alpha response. Behavioral consequences of the blunted alpha include poor memory, anxiety conditions and sleep qualitiy problems. Methods for treating trauma with neurotherapy and emotion al release techniques are presented |

Understanding Phenotypes and Clinical Subtypes to Use qEEG More Effectively in Planning Neurofeedback (SKU: AH-P-350)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute plenary presentation by Jay Gunkelman.
Abstract: The clinical use of EEG / qEEG is rapidly expanding since the acceptance of the clinical application of qEEG in 1994. This talk will provide a survey of various approaches to diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as having a depth discussion of the phenotype approach for predicting interventions based on EEG/qEEG data. |

Waking Up The Automatic Self (SKU: AH-W2-301)
Futurehealth Workshop by Richard Soutar
Our neurophysiological organization is such that we routinize our responses to all situations and once the routines are established to act reflexively or automatically to the fast majority of future situations unless they are novel. As a consequence we tend to become prisoners of our own habitual patterns. If those patterns are not well matched to our environment we may misinterpret what we perceive and respond inaccurately. The result can be unproductive conflict or neglect resulting in lack of access to social resources. This workshop focuses on methods of identifying key domains of routinization that pertain to social interaction that are counterproductive. Methods of transforming these patterns utilizing neurofeedback, self-awareness training, visualization and insight will be explored. |

Water---the Matrix of Life, and What to Drink to Stay Healthy (SKU: AG-P-154)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Beverly Rubik
Water is more than just a carrier for the biomolecules in life. The greatest change in aging is not in your biomolecules, but in loss of water from your cells. Water?s ultrastructure and its special ability to store information, is the very basis of the living state. Water can be programmed with various frequencies that convey information useful for healing. The ?best? water that you can drink to maintain hydration, remove toxins, stay alkaline, keep your cell membranes energized, and maintain the biofield, will be described. New developments in ?designer water? will also be discussed. |

What Makes Humans Humane (SKU: AH-W2-337)
Futurehealth Workshop by Karl H. Pribram
As one takes a comprehensive look at the literature on the relationship between emotions, motivations and the "limbic systems" of the brain, one finds confusion of terminology, confusion of what is to be considered within the limbic systems, confusion as to what parts of the brain -- including what parts of the limbic brain -- are to be
considered related to emotions and motivations. The workshop will
trace the origins of the confusions and a rather surprising set of
data that afford a resolution of the confusion. |

Why 'Just Say No' Just Hasn't Worked: Teens and Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness (B) (SKU: AG-W2-058)

Most adults misunderstand the archetypal drive for teens to experience altered states of consciousness. Raised in a culture permeated with legal and illegal drugs, teens gravitate to unhealthy risks due to the lack of healthy, ceremonial means to alter consciousness. |
