Abstract:
1. A method for low energy neurofeedback treatment, the method consisting essentially of the steps of: a) providing an EEG amplifier in signal communication with a patient, b) providing a general purpose computer in signal communication with the EEG amplifier to receive, analyze, and display EEG signals from the patient and to calculate a prospective treatment regimen, c) acquiring one or more analog EEG signals from the patient in the EEG amplifier, d) converting the one or more analog EEG signals to a digital format, e) determining the dominant frequency of the one or more analog EEG signals in the general purpose computer, f) calculating the prospective treatment regimen in the general purpose computer, said step of calculating further comprising: i) providing a frequency offset value, ii) calculating a first prospective treatment frequency by summing the dominant frequency and the frequency offset value, g) redetermining the dominant frequency each 1/16 of a second from the last 16 measurements and further recalculating the prospective treatment regimen for each redetermined dominant frequency.
