4-Channel Z Score Training with BrainAvatar

Neurofeedback is an interesting field, because it is not just one technique done a standard way across all clinicians and therapists. The field has changed over time, adding new understanding of how the brain works, and how it "should" work. In keeping with new scientific knowledge, new techniques and protocols have been added. In our office, we have the ability to train in many of these techniques, and we use some of the most up to date software and hardware in the indust

New Equipment: NeuroGuide with Brain Surfer

By Dr. Allen Novian on October 9, 2013 Upon attending the 2013 ISNR (International Society of Neuronal Regulation) Conference in Dallas, TX, we began looking for new methods for working with complex cases. We have been watching the development of a neurofeedback protocol type called LORETA neurofeedback, which combines the technology of a full quantitative EEG (19 sensors are used to collect a full picture of the electrical activity of the brain) with moment-by-moment feedba

The “Zone” or "Focus and Flow"

By Dr. Allen Novian Recently, I have had several clients, current and perspective, ask a lot of questions about the state of mind that athletes refer to as “the Zone” or “Focus and Flow.” This is the state that we are trying to achieve with neurofeedback, meditation, and practice, but it means more than that. To me, “flow” is a state in which your conscious mind, or superego, stops telling you why you can’t do something and lets the rest of your mind and body get it done.

Families and ADD

By Dr. Allen Novian When parents bring their kids in for ADD testing, they are often surprised to find that many of the problems their children have are actually reflected in their own lives as well. Did you know that ADD has a genetic component? It does, and it always amazes me to see how many parents can benefit from testing and therapy along with their kids. If you are beginning to find fault with your children because they are disorganized, unfocused, or fail to follow

What's Going on Between Your Ears

By Dr. Allen Novian What if you knew what was going on behind that perfect haircut? Sometimes, it seems as if there is nothing but air, other times, it feels like the gears are turning so fast that you can’t shut them off! Well, we can actually take a look and see what your brain is doing, without even opening up the skull. We look at the brain’s activity electrically… yes, I said electrically. Did you know that your brain works off of electricity, just like computers and

What Fires Together Wires Together

By Dr. Novian People often ask me how Neurofeedback works. It’s a simple concept that, what “fires” together “wires” together in our brain. In other words what experiences and reactions we have to daily life create connections in the brain. The neurons that fire at the same time connect (or wire) with each other. This is a powerful idea and one that can change your life when you begin to implement it daily. How does it happen? Well, the brain does not judge whether something
