 The Mything Side of the Mind: (The Perilous Rapture of Fundamentalistic Thinking) (SKU: AH-P-383)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute plenary presentation by Stephen Larsen
The thesis of this paper is based on Dr. Larsen?s forthcoming book entitled: Perilous Rapture: On the Dangers of Fundamentalistic Thinking. Larsen takes the position that some kinds of myths are extremely dangerous, and polarize our duality-prone nervous systems still further, into dysfunctional and even pathological patterns. The thesis dates from an idea of Joseph Campbell?s that our brains are the hardware, and culture the software, of human functioning. |

 The Neurophysiological Substrate of Archetype (SKU: AG-P-008)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute plenary presentation by Jay Gunkelman.
The functioning of the mind and brain imply memory function, and this short talk will focus on a mechanism for "memory"... from storage and retrieval, to short term and long term memory. The neurophysiological underpinnings of memory contain within the cognitive neuroscience some direct implications regarding a mechanism for archetypal memory. This talk will attempt to communicate some of the mystery and awe that are inherent to real neuroscience. |

 The Neurophysiology of Fear and State Specific EEG Changes (SKU: AH-P-367)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Bill Scott
Fear states were induced in subjects to determine how their EEG, heart rate, and mental processing would change when compared to a neutral condition. We found significant differences in cognition, EEG and heart rate.
Subject?s (15-30Hz) amplitudes and cognitive functioning significantly dropped in amplitude while experiencing fear. Half of them had significant reductions in alpha (8-11Hz) and theta (5-8Hz). Doesn?t reducing alpha, theta, and high beta improve cognition? Or do we just need a new measuring stick for wave analysis that goes beyond amplitude, frequency and variability? Perhaps I?ve found one. |

 The Original Biofeedback System (SKU: AH-P-271)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Pamela Jaye Smith
Ancient Biofeedback -- The Ajna Center
For thousands of years, advanced spiritual disciplines have taught their devotees a sophisticated system of biofeedback. The Ajna Center (often depicted as a small golden sun in front of the forehead) is the chakra that, unlike the others, must be consciously built. Through a progressive process of balancing and integrating the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, the aspirant learns to assess one?s reactions to situations and alter one?s internal mechanism.
This presentation will explore the history of the Ajna discipline, the physiology of the processes, and a sample focus and meditation. |

 The Primacy of Arousal Regulation In Psychotherapy (SKU: AG-P-172)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Stan Tatkin
The psychobiologically-focused clinician looks upon the primary adult attachment relationship in radically new ways. He or she views the adult couple as a psychobiological unit whose endurance depends upon the co-regulatory skills of its partners. This represents a shift from a conflict model to a deficit model of regulatory maturity. |

 The Self-Regulation Regime: Conceptual and Practical Reunification of Biofeedback and Neurofeedback (SKU: AG-P-193)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk
Abstract: As a discipline at the forefront of mind-body medicine, applied psychophysiology must address itself to the arbitrary split between feedback on peripheral physiology and on the EEG. It is most likely that changes adopted in the practitioner community to combine the strengths of both approaches will lead toward a theoretical reconceptualization of feedback by any modality as an aspect of a more unitary approach toward improved self-regulation. |

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. |
