About this ebook

Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback, Third Edition offers a window into brain physiology and function via computer and statistical analyses, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety, mood and behavior. Resources for understanding what QEEG and neurofeedback are, how they are used, and to what disorders and patients they can be applied are scarce, hence this volume serves as an ideal tool for clinical researchers and practicing clinicians. Sections cover advancements (including Microcurrent Electrical Stimulation, photobiomodulation), new applications (e.g. Asperger's, music therapy, LORETA, etc.), and combinations of prior approaches. New chapters on smart-phone technologies and mindfulness highlight their clinical relevance. Written by top scholars in the field, this book offers both the breadth needed for an introductory scholar and the depth desired by a clinical professional. - Covers neurofeedback use in depression, ADHD, addiction, pain, PTSD, and more - Discusses the use of adjunct modalities in neurotherapy - Features topics relevant to the knowledge blueprints for both the International QEEG Certification Board and International Board of Quantitative Electrophysiology - Includes new chapters on photobiomodulation, smart-phone applications and mindfulness
