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 →
