Obsessive Compulsive and Neurofeedback

From:  Biofeedback for the Brain by Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D.     

“The ratio of particular importance at the frontal midline is the HF/beta ratio.  The normal range has been found to be between 0.45 and 0.55.  Values much above this range indicate obsessive, compulsive, inflexible, and highly repetitive behaviors.  Values below this range are associated  with excessively passive and indifferent behaviors.  The HF/beta ratio, as well as the summated value described in the next paragraph, appears to reflect the activity of the anterior cingulate gyrus.  This subcortical structure, discussed earlier, is associated with emotional functions and is implicated in OCD.” pg. 80.   With the information from the client’s brain map (qEEG), the condition can be helped with neurofeedback.
