Depression and Neurological Patterns
From Biofeedback for the Brain by Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D. “Neurological patterns associated with depression, are inequality of frontal-lobe activity, deficiency of slow-wave activity (theta) or excessive fast-wave activity (beta) in the occipital (back) region of the brain, and deficiency in the 13-15 Hz activity (SMR) over the sensory motor cortex. Whether these conditions.. read more →

Bipolar Depression and Neurofeedback
From: Biofeedback for the Brain by Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D. “FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION Q: I have bipolar depression. Can neurotherapy help? A: Typically with bipolar clients, I find problems in the frontal lobes and usually a slow-frequency deficiency in the back of the brain. With multiple problematical areas to be corrected,.. read more →
Oppositional Defiance Disorder and Neurofeedback
From: Biofeedback for the Brain by Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D. “When alpha waves are stronger on the right relative to the left frontal cortex, confrontational and defiant behavior often results. When the difference is greater than 20%, the child (or adult) usually has difficulties with inappropriate aggression, defiance, and negativity. . . … read more →
