International Trends In Neurofeedback (Vol. 1)

International Trends In Neurofeedback (Volume 1) provides an overview of the development and status of neurofeedback in different parts of the world. Although how it was initially introduced, the pace and shape of its growth and the overall social and health-related context, are highly heterogeneous, a significant interest for neurofeedback has translated into an increased awareness of its therapeutic value and expanded clinical applications. In addition, in several chapters, clinical research is outlined, providing an essential resource for potential collaborative efforts. This first volume offers valuable insights from 13 different countries, and more will come in the next volume of this international series.

Neurofeedback: The Non-invasive Alternative 2nd Edition

Helena Bester, one of Africa’s few Board Certified Neurotherapists, is regarded as one of the leading experts on ADHD and on neurofeedback in South Africa. She takes the reader on a journey through the origin, the development, the process, and the application of neurofeedback. The intention of the book is to bring hope to desperate and despondent people that do not experience lasting relief from debilitating emotional burdens or disorders after years of therapy because their brains are not susceptible to therapy due to dysregulation. The world of interventions is changing and neurofeedback or biofeedback is a modality of applied neuroscience that can no longer be ignored. Through neurofeedback, the regulation of the brain can improve which changes the potential outcome of any therapy drastically. This book has the further intention of enlightening all medical and other healthcare practitioners on the validity and the principles of neurofeedback. It is a condensed source of relevant information to all who wish to consider to add neurofeedback to their practice, to those practitioners who want to stay responsibly abreast of therapies in the modern arena and to all neurofeedback practitioners.

The book is an invaluable resource for neurofeedback practitioners, whether you are new to the practice or have been, like me, practicing for decades as well as to those who are considering neurofeedback for themselves as patients, as therapists, or as researchers.” – SEBERN F. FISHER, MA, BCN, trauma specialist and author of Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma. Calming the Fear-driven Brain.

In this beautifully and eloquently written book, Helena Bester explains how the practice of neurofeedback and neurotherapy presents us with the opportunity for transformation and reducing suffering through a creative process of engaging the brain. She elucidates how assessing and locating neural dysregulation facilitates opportunities for attaining greater balance through various neurotherapeutic interventions.” – DANIEL SIDLER, MD (Switzerland) Professor of Applied Ethics, University of Stellenbosch MPhil, FCS (General Surgery/ Paediatric Surgery)

​Autism Spectrum Disorder: Neuromodulation, Neurofeedback, and Sensory Integration Approaches to Research and Treatment

​This book describes some of the standard methods for diagnosing and treating autism from the perspectives of pediatric clinical psychology and developmental-behavioral specialists. Furthermore, the book reviews the theoretical basis for research focusing on neuromodulation techniques, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), neurofeedback, and sensory integration training methods being used for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The result is a collective monograph of 16 chapters contributed by autism specialists.This is a softcover book, with 34 figures and 10 tables whose cover illustration features a painting by a famous autistic artist. The book is intended for students, researchers, and healthcare practitioners who are interested in the best ways to introduce neuromodulation, neurofeedback, and sensory integration techniques as interventions in their treatment armamentarium of autism spectrum disorder.

Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback in the 21st Century: A Handbook for Clinicians and Researchers (Expanded 2nd Ed.)

Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback in the 21st Century is a new handbook on neurofeedback treatment of emotional trauma and substance abuse, now in its expanded second edition featuring three new chapters, including an introduction to neurofeedback, brainwaves, and neurofeedback training for psychotherapists and other newcomers interested the field. Peniston and Kulkosky’s evidence that training specific brain frequencies could lead to the reprocessing and subsequent remission of traumatic symptoms in alcoholic war veterans with PTSD was revolutionary for its time. They were the first to use technology to tap into the brain’s ability to unlock traumatic memories, showing that unresolved emotional issues could be retrieved and revised in memory in an objective and systematic way. Thirty years after Eugene Peniston’s publications, Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback in the 21st Century is the first comprehensive clinical guide to the treatment of emotional trauma for neurotherapists and psychotherapists.

The Art of Artifacting

Due to its high temporal resolution, quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) is fast becoming the premier neuroimaging tool to assess and aid in the treatment of many psychological and medical brain-based disorders. However, poorly artifacted records will lead to poor results. The Art of Artifacting is the quintessential raw electroencephalography (EEG) artifacting tutorial. With 75 records, each containing 6 epochs, to test yourself on, you will gain the experience necessary to identify eye blinks and saccades, muscle artifact, transient events, drowsiness, electrode pop, and many others. It is a highly recommended book for anyone who is beginning to include QEEG in his practice regimen.Authors: D. Corydon Hammond, PhD & Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD
