This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not a manual on neurofeedback. Such a manual would require a thousand-page text written by an expert therapist. Rather, it tells the story of a fathers experience with neurofeedback as he witnesses this new science being applied day by day to pull his son back inch by inch from the world of autism. It is the story of a father who refused to accept all those grim prognoses from pediatricians, child psychologists, and child psychiatrists that autism was a genetic affliction with no cure. And lastly, it is a book of hope for those parents who are not yet prepared to surrender their children to the scourge of autism without a fight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to neurofeedback for better physical and mental health as well as greater emotional balance, cognitive agility, and creativity • Provides easy-to-understand explanations of different neurofeedback methods--from the LENS technique to Z-score training • Explains the benefits of this therapy for anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, brain injuries, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and many other ailments • Explores how to combine neurofeedback with breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and attention-control exercises such as Open Focus What is neurofeedback? How does it work? And how can it help me or my family? In this guide to neurofeedback, psychologist and neurofeedback clinician Stephen Larsen examines the countless benefits of neurofeedback for diagnosing and treating many of the most debilitating and now pervasive psychological and neurological ailments, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stroke, brain injury, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Surveying the work of neurofeedback pioneers, Larsen explains the techniques and advantages of different neurofeedback methods--from the LENS technique and HEG to Z-score training and Slow Cortical Potentials. He reveals evidence of neuroplasticity--the brain’s ability to grow new neurons—and shows how neurofeedback can nourish the aging brain and help treat degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and strokes. Examining the different types of brain waves, he shows how to recognize our own dominant brainwave range and thus learn to exercise control over our mental states. He explains how to combine neurofeedback with breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and attention-control exercises such as Open Focus. Sharing successful and almost miraculous case studies of neurofeedback patients from a broad range of backgrounds, including veterans and neglected children, this book shows how we can nurture our intimate relationship with the brain, improving emotional, cognitive, and creative flexibility as well as mental health.

Download or read book Up from Autism the Cause and the Cure written by Mary Alyce Carlisle and published by Mary Carlisle. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the freedom and the sunshine that now permeates my very being I am the mother of a communicating actualized autistic boy child who has consumed my every thought for almost thirteen years. I diagnosed him myself silently. I have a degree in special education that equipped me with the familiarity to diagnose my son from birth although I did not ever actively work in the field. I recognized the symptoms and I knew immediately that I was in for the run for my son's and my life. I understood that the help out there in nineteen ninety four was very bleak. I did not want to discuss his condition with anyone because I did not want to hear their diagnosis nor prognosis. Things were being offered like early intervention which was and is most important. At the time there was not much promise and experience behind it. I could not tolerate the uncertain future, so I decided to free my son myself. I am now so thankful and grateful that I took this approach myself because I now know the cause of his condition for certain. I don't know the real prevention in most cases, but I do know why he could not speak and develop intellectually in a normal and regular manner. I observed him as if he were on a respirator for his life. He is a combination of my husband and myself and I could and did diagnose him properly & correctly. I am sure of this because my own brain has recording issues. A person not having this might find it impossible to discover this. I have not met anyone who has exactly described their brain as I describe mine. My son's brain earlier in life did not record in a lot of important areas. His brain stem however seemed to be functioning well. Please forgive me. I want to try to discuss a bit of science with you. Bear with me I'm trying to simplify this hard, heart felt subject. I lived and observed my son as my heart was screaming for understanding. The big! big question is why are there so many differences between autistic children. It appears that most all brains in human beings are basically structurally alike. When things appear differently, we compare it to what we call a normal functioning brain pattern. That is how we conclude that there is damage. My observation is that the brain of my child is made up of the basic DNA-pool of my husband and my family's DNA. Your child's brain is made up of the basic DNA of your two parents' families too. I'll say DNA has traits and talents that are particular and peculiar to those two families for the most part for analytical purposes. Yet, we say and see that the basic components of all brains are theoretically and basically the same. The basic structure via DNA makes up the explanation of why each autistic child performs at different levels at different times and demonstrates different abilities. Many parents proclaim their child does this and others proclaim their child does that. They proclaim that they are so different, yet they have so many similarities. This suggests to me, as a parent who has observed my child as if he was on a resipirator for life support, the damage is not done to the DNA structure that is germane for familiar traits. The damage is done to the part of the brain that is located in the cerebrum. The cerebrum performs these important services or functions: (1) the five senses, (2) thinking, (3) memory and (4) speech. The central area here to autism is memory. The memory has severe damage. All of the surrounding components cannot work because the memory is not recording anything of significance permanently. The memory is the component that has to be rehabilitated and brought up to a level that can record, so that the five senses can be normal. (1) The hearing can be so loud to the child's ears that it literally hurts from the noise. (2) The softest touch can startle the child because each time it is a new experience. This makes the child hate and reject touch. (3) Eating and the pleasure of food come from a sense of smell. The memo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are—these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, giftedness, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as hard—struggling to find the right school, the right therapist, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what’s normal, what’s not, and how to handle it all. But now there’s hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a bestselling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger’s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and the best kind of been-there, done-that companion. On the one hand it’s a book of saying NO, and how it’s time to say no to trying to fit your round-peg kid into society’s square holes, no to educational and social systems that don’t respect your child, no to the anxiety and fear that keep parents stuck. And then it’s a book of YES. By offering 18 paradigm shifts—what she calls “tilts”— Reber shows how to change everything. How to “Get Out of Isolation and Connect.” “Stop Fighting Who Your Child Is and Lean In.” “Let Go of What Others Think.” “Create a World Where Your Child Can Feel Secure.” “Find Your People (and Ditch the Rest).” “Help Your Kids Embrace Self-Discovery.” And through these alternative ways of being, discover how to stay open, pay attention, and become an exceptional parent to your exceptional child.

Download or read book The MIND Method written by Russ Schroder and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction- Today, as you are reading this, over one thousand more Americans are diagnosed with a condition involving abnormal function of the human brain. Each year, 13-20 percent of children living in the USA experience some form of mental disorder, and the prevalence is on the rise. (CDC- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Six County Inc.) ADHD/ADD was the most commonly reported with behavioral problems, anxiety, depression and autism following behind. ADHD and Autism are at all time highs with 1 in 10 children diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. While Autism is found in at least 1 in 88 children. (2013 stats say 1 in 50!) Clinical Depression and Anxiety in the U.S. is estimated at 1 in 5 people. Millions of adults and youths as young as 4 play contact sports such as football, hockey, soccer and lacrosse resulting in hundreds of concussions (or mTBI- "mild" Traumatic Brain Injury) each and every single day. Add to that the soldiers returning from at least 2 conflicts (more accurately: "Wars") who are saved by protective gear that prevents death but cannot prevent damage from the concussive forces inside the human skull, leaving their brains cooking in inflammation, shattering their lives, ruining their relationships. Over a million kids in school right now have difficulty reading due to transposing letters, seeing words "backwords" or letters upside down or backwards. (Dyslexia) Seizure disorders and epilepsy are also rising at an unprecedented rate with no end in sight. These patients' brains are so unstable that they can't even maintain the basic homeostatic baseline to function, over-firing when not squashed by inhibitory medications. In Muskingum County alone, Six County Inc. saw an increase in youth with mental problems from 323 in 2008 to 1,196 in 2012! That's a nearly 400% INCREASE in just the past 4 years. The 3 most common were ADHD, anxiety and depression. (Times Recorder 11/10/13) In Anatomy of An Epidemic, Robert Whitaker correctly points out that when the final analysis is done, pharmaceutical medications are being sought out as the treatment of choice in many cases due to their ease of use, despite the fact that overwhelming evidence points directly to the conclusion that the cure IS worse than the disease. We are now at the point in human history where the medications we take are causing even worse problems than the primary reason we started them in the first place. It is with the hope of helping an entire population from becoming "Generation Rx" that we present this book to you. - The Authors

Download or read book Clinical Electroencephalography written by Oriano Mecarelli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the developments and improvements in electroencephalography (EEG). In recent years, digital technology has replaced analog equipments, and it is now possible to easily record and store EEG tracings and to quickly recall previously acquired material for subsequent analysis. In addition, not only static figures, but also electronic supplementary materials can be included in books, enabling EEGs to be viewed in real-time. In clinical practice, EEG still represents the most important functional examination in the study CNS development and its anatomical and physiological integrity throughout life. In the pathological context, EEG provides indispensable diagnostic information for classification of epileptic syndromes, and it is also valuable in all the other CNS diseases (infectious, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, etc). Furthermore, monitoring EEG can be widely used in emergency settings, such as emergency departments or intensive care units. In comatose patients, EEG provides information regarding prognosis and evaluation of the sedative effect of anesthetic drugs. Written by a group of leading national and international experts, it offers a substantial, yet practical, EEG compendium, which serves as a reference resource for physicians and neurodiagnostic technologists as well as physicians-in-training, researchers, practicing electroencephalographers and students.
