 Exploring the In-Between: QEEG/LORETA Findings of "Other Dimensional Awareness" (SKU: AH-P-266)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by John DeLuca
Anomalous experiences, such as spirit communication and perception of other dimensions, have been reported in individuals with complex partial seizures and temporal lobe epilepsy, closed head injury, or other traumatic emotional experiences. The QEEG and LORETA findings of a near 50-year old man with the above symptoms and a history of temporal lobe epilepsy are presented. The latter are compared to previous SPECT and MRI data as well relevant findings in the literature. |

Entering the Mandala: Living the Sacred Circle sm (SKU: AH-W2-269)
Futurehealth Workshop by John DeLuca
From early childhood, we construct a notion of ourselves and world. When our life experience is at odds with our view that arises from these fabrications, we suffer. In this experiential workshop, we explore the notion of the self as a mandala and more importantly, our immersion into the sacred space of the mandala environment in the spirit of Buddhist tantric practice. In this sense, the mandala is a metaphor for the deconstruction and reformation of the self and our notion of reality. Create a better life. Change your expectations and change your world. Re-vision yourself and live the light! |

 Neurofeedback Meets Wholistic Counseling (SKU: AG-P-082)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by John Demos
Neurofeedback is an effective tool for enhancing brain metabolism. However, many prospective clients present with physiological symptoms, family issues and poor life style habits. Effective screening at the intial intake explores life-style habits, family structure as well as physiological problems. |

Neurofeedback Meets Neurology (SKU: AG-W2-084)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 4 hour workshop by John Demos. The presentation will review functions associated with the temporal, parietal, occipital lobes as well as the cingulate gyrus, cerebellum and the sensorimotor cotex.
Symptoms can often be traced to specific regions of the brain. Neurotherapy protcols can be driven in part by an undertanding of neurology. This power point presentation will provide a rationale for therapy. |

Getting Started with MiniQ and full QEEG brain mapping (SKU: AH-W2-398)
Futurehealth Workshop by John Demos
A number of clinians are considering adding either MiniQ and QEEG topographical brain mapping to their practice. One demonstration and several examples will illustrate how protocols can be developed from normative data. This short presentation is suitable for those new to topographical brain mapping methodology. |

 The Human Operating System (SKU: AG-P-009)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by John Ewing
The Human Operating System can now be described in a flowchart fashion. Emotion, desire, and consciousness can be described as processes in this simple model of thought. Many spiritual systems can now be mapped into a common schema of desire energy. The utility of this approach is that we can now have a model of what it is we are adjusting with various forms of therapy and can see how or why they might work. |

 Development and ageing across the lifespan using common (SKU: AG-P-146)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Kamran Fallahpour
This study established standardized age, gender and years of education norms for
subjects spanning nine decades for a newly developed battery of neuropsychological tests,
IntegNeuro. The battery is standardized and fully automated, using a computerized
touchscreen. The twelve neuropsychological tests of the battery were administered to 1007
male and female volunteers across the age range 6 to 82. Sensitive indicators of change
during development and ageing were widely obtained on comprehensive measures of
attention and working memory, learning and memory retrieval, and language, visuospatial
function, sensori-motor and executive function. Improvement tended to occur through to
the third and fourth decade of life, followed by gradual decrement and/or relatively
stabilized performance thereafter. These results strongly underscore the need for most
neuropsychological tests to norm according to age. Gender differences were obtained on
measures of sustained attention, verbal learning and memory, visuospatial processing and
motor function. Years of education in the adult cohort was reflected in better performance
on a range of verbal measures. The IntegNeuro test battery presented as a sensitive
indicator of normative function and provides a reference for assessing the presence of
abnormal cognition, for evaluation of treatment effects and for longitudinal case
management. |

 SYNCHRONY: HOW THE BRAIN CODES INFORMATION (SKU: AG-P-049)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Les Fehmi
Early studies on information processing in the visual system have shown that visual information is transmitted as a spatial, not a temporal, code. Information travels toward the cortex as waves of synchronous action potentials. The role of synchrony in transmission of various kinds of information will be described. The role of synchrony in coding information at the level of the nerve, and at higher levels of neural organization, is crucial for controlling attention. Learning to increase and decrease brain wave synchrony with neurofeedback provides a skill set which is crucial to attentional flexibility and well being. |

 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.

 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. |

Modern Neuron Theory and Functional Restoration (SKU: AG-P-215)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Tom Gross
Great strides have been made in understanding neuronal function over recent years while functional interventions have been slow to make use of these findings. Three key elements regulating neuronal function are oxygen, glucose and activation. These three key elements are explored as rate limiting variables in Functional Neurological Rehabilitation. |

 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. |

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. |

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. |
