Brain Mapping

What is Brain Mapping?

Starting in the 1970s it became possible to store the EEG signals on computer media for later analysis. As computers and electronic amplifiers became smaller and faster, and as mathematical methods developed, it has become possible to store 19 or more channels of EEG data on a laptop computer using an amplifier the size of a hardback book. Often the sensors are attached to the inner surface of a cloth or mesh cap. The caps come in various sizes so that the sensors will be accurately placed on any size head. The computer is capable of recognizing many more and subtle patterns among the brain waves in various locations than the eye can possibly see. These patterns are then graphically displayed as colored brain maps, graphs, and charts. Despite the impressive ability to detect subtle significant patterns, the raw EEG must always be analyzed by a trained eye in order to avoid misinterpretation or ambiguity in the QEEG. A very special feature of modern QEEG is that all the data from a client’s recording can be compared to several databases of ‘normal’ individuals brainwaves. This makes it much easier to spot statistically significant deviations. These deviations may or not be clinically significant. It is important to consider them in light of any complaints or conditions the client might have in order to better appreciate their significance if any.

How and why is Brain Mapping used in Neurofeedback?

Much of the groundbreaking work in neurofeedback was done without the aid of QEEG. Many practitioners still use protocols that are generally safe and provide the ability for most brains to develop flexibility and increased control. There are, however, other types of neurofeedback protocols that aim to specifically increase or decrease certain frequencies at certain locations on the cortex (outer layer of the brain). In these cases, a QEEG can give valuable insight into which areas of the brain may need to be strengthened and which may need to be relaxed. The QEEG can also tell how well each of the 19 measured areas of the cortex communicates with each of the 18 remaining sites. These measures, which include such mathematical measures as ‘coherence’, ‘comodulation’, ‘phase’, etc., can also be compared to norms in a database. These ‘network’ operations of the brain may be trained as easily as amplitude abnormalities.

DITI’s role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer. When used with other procedures the best possible evaluation of breast health is made.

An extremely valuable test to help in the early detection of breast disease.

Infrared Imaging can also be used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as monitoring therapy progress, for other conditions and injuries, including:

Back Injuries
Breast Disease
Arthritis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Headache
Disc Disease
Nerve Damage
Inflammatory Pain
Unexplained Pain
Skin Cancer
Fibromyalgia
Referred Pain Syndrome
RSD (CRPS)
Sprain/Strain
Dental and TMJ
Stroke Screening
Arterial Inflammation
Whiplash
Vascular Disease
Digestive Disorder
Thyroid Conditions
Endometriosis
Lymphatic Drainage
Gynecological & Women’s health

What is NeuroIntegration Therapy?

NeuroIntegration Therapy is a simply, painless, drugless and non-invasive therapy. It trains the EEG or brainwaves using operant condition. Operant conditioning uses auditory and visual feedback to reward the brainwaves when they change in the desired direction to improve symptoms for many neurological conditions.

NIT is a powerful new method of biofeedback that swiftly and permanently trains the brain. By monitoring the electrical activity in the brain, NIT is able to enhance the ‘positive’ and inhibit ‘negative’ activity. This is achieved by a simple system of reward; all you have to do is relax and enjoy your favorite music or movie while your brain efficiently learns a better way to operate.

How Can NeuroIntegration Therapy Help?

Often, areas of our brains are operating sub-optimally (either too fast or too slow). These patterns can easily become ingrained, affecting our perception and locking us into automatic and habitual patterns of behavior. This prevents us from accessing a full range of mental experience and, thus, negatively impacts our quality of life.

Fortunately, regardless of age, your brain is always capable of learning. NIT will help your mind work in a relaxed and efficient manner.

NIT training does not impose anything artificial on you or on your brain. It is helpful to think of NIT as a class specially tailored for your brain, unlocking the skills and capacities that were always a part of you.
