Val says... "...if you trust the intrinsic wisdom of your body, just like you learned to walk.... the wisdom is in there. You don't have to fix stuff, you simply have to interrupt the process in which they are created and the wisdom of the system will take care of things. "

chaos theory/non-linear dynamic theories

Conscious part of the brain is the slowest part.

There is an intrinsic, self organizing wisdom in the central nervous system.

The belief that we can figure out

Small change can lead to enormous change
Small things can lead to huge outcomes.
There's not a linear relationship.... so less is frequently more.
Linear is one plus one is two.

From a non-linear perspective, doing less will frequently get you more.

if you trust the intrinsic wisdom of your body, just like you learned to walk.... the wisdom is in there.

Suffering is optional. Pain is inevitable. BUt the suffering that comes from that is largely self-created.

You don't have to fix stuff, you simply have to interrupt the process in which they are created and the wisdom of the system will take care of things.

Golf-- the interesting thing about golf is less is definitely more.

use neuro-optimal for everything, regardless of what walks in the door, because the system is adaptive.

Problematic that people think they can take a qEEG at the start of training... and after sessions, if you're still working off of that static map, you're missing part of the feedback process.

Always struck me as  odd that people think they diagnose up front, get a static training plan and then go ten sessions.

The problem with Z scores is they are linear statistics and the brain is a non-linear system.

Z score training gives the appearance that the expert is in control of the process.

User survey got 33% response from users-- this comprehensive adaptive approach, with no Z-score, no qEEG and  is at least as good or better than other approaches.

common misconception is that Neurofeedback is operant conditioning.

If it is, then it's being done incorrectly-- should use variable reinforcement.

comprehensive adaptive, self-adjusting system-- comprehensive because of the large range of frequencies attended to.

Authors Bio:

One theme has run through my work for the past 40 plus years-- a desire to play a role in waking people up, raising their consciousness and empowering them.
I was the organizer founder of the Winter Brain, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology and StoryCon Meetings and president of Futurehealth, Inc., with interests in Positive Psychology as well as being involved in the field of biofeedback/neurofeedback since 1972.
see my more detailed bio, reflecting my work in biofeedback, here.

In 2003 I founded www.OpEdNews.com , where I've written over 1800 articles and have published over 100,000 other people's writings, with the goal of raising people's consciousness in political and activist ways.
