If We're So Great, How Come Nobody's Heard of Us? (SKU: AH-P-264)
Futurehealth Panel/Paper
Neurofeedback has been around since the 1960?s. An ever-growing number of studies have demonstrated its efficacy. In an editorial in the January, 2000 issue of the journal Clinical Encephalography, Frank Duffy, director of the Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory and Developmental Neurophysiology Laboratory at Children?s Hospital in Boston, wrote: ?In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would be universally accepted and widely used.?
Yet in spite of all this, we remain relatively unknown. Why isn?t neurotherapy universally recognized after more than 40 years? What are we doing that?s wrong? What aren?t we doing that we should be doing? This panel will attempt to take a look at what needs to be done to move neurofeedback towards wider acceptance.

Measuring Transformation (SKU: AG-P-117)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Richard Soutar
The Interactive Self Inventory relates dimensions of social behavior to dimensions of EEG distribution. Consequently general patterns of EEG distribution can be predicted based on dimensions of social behavior and vice-versa. In addition these dimensions can be used to identify key areas for transformation toward optimal performance as well as pre and post changes in behavior due to neurofeedback training and optimal performance training. This provides a unique instrument for assessment for neurofeedback providers based on the social domain that is educational in nature and does not require psychological expertise or certification for implimentation.
Mindfulness and Neurofeedback: Integral Treatment of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression (SKU: AG-W2-108)
Futurehealth Workshop by Al Collins
Mindfulness and neurofeedback complement one another and form the basis for a multimodal approach to psychopathology. Neurofeedback trains focal attention and a relaxed attitude; mindfulness makes the learning from neurofeedback available during daily life. In addition, mindfulness deepens and refines the attitude required for optimal learning during neurofeedback.
Mysteries of NF Success: What's Happening When "Nothing's Happening"? (SKU: AG-W2-014)
Futurehealth Workshop by Thomas Brod and William Scott
In this two-hour workshop, T. Brod and Wm Scott will review non-linear dynamic theory and its successful application in NeuroCare Pro and the new BrainPaint application of Bill Scott. We will consider the relationship of neurofeedback to subjectivity in cases of patient recovery. Is the process de-humanized when the computer is the Analyst and the patient's "brain? is being trained? Emphasis in the workshop will be on enhancing therapist effectiveness when it appears on the surface that "nothing is happening."
Neuroband (SKU: AG-P-182)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Diane Stoler
Demonstration of unique headband for the following applications: Neurofeedback, TLC, Mini Q and QEEG.Unlike other types of headbands that do not allow for the precise placement of the electrode, Neuroband is precise.
Neurofeedback as a Catalyst for Maturation in Rehabilitation (SKU: AG-P-226)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Len Ochs
We are used to thinking of neurofeedback from an interventionist point of view, in which we shape the EEG. Another viewpoint is that once a person is impaired, the individual is unable to proceed by him or herself through the maturation process to regain function. Neurofeedback acts as a releaser mechanism to permit normal maturation of function by blocking the neurochemical defenses that were erected to protect the brain. Instead, however, these neurochemical defenses interfere with normal functioning. It is the brain?s seeking of normalcy that is catalyzed by neurofeedback, for which we are the midwives.
Neurofeedback For Autism: Empirical Validation and Theoretical Framework (SKU: AG-P-042)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute presentation by Robert Coben.
This presentation will focus on empirical data and a theoretical framework from which to
understand Neurofeedback interventions for Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Our research
evaluated the efficacy of assessment (QEEG) -guided neurofeedback for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Findings included a 92% success rate with a 41.57% reduction in Autistic symptoms, which was significantly different than a wait-list control group. Neurophysiological changes included increased metabolic flow to frontal cortices and movement towards normalized QEEG connectivity. A theoretical approach for treatment of ASD focusing on aspects of EEG connectivity will be presented.
