If you are interested in the topic of neurofeedback, you will quickly realize that not all neurofeedback is the same. This article gives a brief insight into our whitepaper on the development of the Othmer Method. From its origins in classic SMR beta and frequency band training, to the systematic study of electrode placements, to today's ILF neurofeedback.
Gunilla Radu is founder of the Nordic Center of Neurofeedback, works internationally as a EEG Info Europe lecturer for Neurofeedback and works every day with people in her private practice. In the interview she talks about her Neurofeedback career and experience, why it is so important to make Neurofeedback accessible to more and more people, especially in the field of trauma therapy and the pioneer work in her region.
Thank you very much for your active participation in our book raffle. Many of you "not only" took part, but also sent us personal messages, telling us about treatment successes and enthusiastic patients, and that you would no longer want to do without neurofeedback in your practice.
Many countries are in a second lockdown right now. Even if most schools remain open and students may attend classes, experiences of the homeschooling phase are still present to many. We want to discuss the potential opportunities and risks of digital learning and teaching formats for children with AD(H)D.
What could be more pleasant than making yourself comfortable in the cold season and reading a good book? Especially when you have to stay at home anyway and can update your Neurofeedback knowledge at the same time? We make this thought even more beautiful by giving you just such a book as a present! Take part in our pre-Christmas book raffle!
Sieben Jahre nach Veröffentlichung der Erstausgabe ist in diesem Jahr die 2. Edition von Ute Strehls Buch „Neurofeedback“ im Kohlhammer-Verlag erschienen. Einige Kapitel aus der ersten Ausgabe wurden überarbeitet, andere wiederum kamen komplett neu hinzu.
The time has come: the second edition of Restoring The Brain, edited by Hanno Kirk, was published this year by Taylor & Francis. This update was eagerly awaited by many. For this volume, the editor has once again been able to attract book chapters from well-known users and researchers in the field of ILF Neurofeedback, including our chief therapist Meike Wiedemann.
In a growing number of occupational therapy practices, Neurofeedback is already established as a solid treatment method. However, many occupational therapists also doubt whether the “technical” neurofeedback fits into their everyday work. Being said, occupational therapists can even get some reimbursement from the health insurance and healthcare system for neurofeedback therapy in countries like Germany. In an interview, EEG Info lecturer Thomas Theis reports what inspires him about neurofeedback, how neurofeedback can be integrated into occupational therapy and why occupational therapists in particular bring the perfect conditions for neurofeedback.
In considering the flood of information about health services via the Internet, Apps and brochures, it is more important than ever to provide patients with specific and well-founded information. Patients' need for information is particularly high for Neurofeedback. After all, ‘What exactly happens if electrodes are attached to my or my child's head?’ is a more than justified question. However, reliable, comprehensible information is hard to find and serious medical offers are difficult to distinguish from those that are not. The patient flyers of BEE Medic offer a very good opportunity to explain Neurofeedback to your clients in a professional and understandable way.
Neurofeedback is a therapy method that - similar to biofeedback methods - is based on measuring physical body functions and reporting them back through appropriate signals in real time. Since neurofeedback is about the brain, EEG signals are used for feedback here. Neurofeedback is mainly used in therapy to improve the self-regulation ability.
