Handbook of Clinical QEEG and Neurotherapy

Thomas Collura, PhD, QEEG-D, BCN, NCC, LPCC, is Clinical Director, the Brain Enrichment Center, and President, BrainMaster Technologies, Inc., in Bedford, Ohio. He is a Past President of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) and is President of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB). Jon Frederick, PhD, BCN, serves on the editorial board of Neuroregulation and the board of directors for the Foundation for Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation Research. His current research focuses on mechanisms of learning and the role of explicit processing and attention in physiological self-regulation.

“The Handbook of QEEG and Neurotherapy is an outstanding introduction to a very diverse field by many authors who are well known and have contributed immeasurably to the development of neurofeedback. The chapters range from basic introduction to neurofeedback to neurofeedback applications for all age groups and in particular for disorders such as dyslexia, addiction, and other clinical entities. The newest areas such as LORETA Z score based training is included in this volume as well as traditional protocols that date back to the 1970s. This Handbook will be very useful for newcomers to the field as well as seasoned practitioners.”—Joel F. Lubar PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Tennessee; Director, Southeastern, Neurofeedback Institute Inc.; BCIA Senior Fellow-EEG, BCN—Board Certified Neurofeedback; QEEG Diplomate“Clinical rather than scientific in tone, practical with useful anecdotal information that will appeal to practitioners….authors [are] well respected and recognized in their clinical work.”—David Trudeau, MD, Editor Emeritus, Journal of Neurotherapy; President, ISNR Research Foundation; former director, Neurofeedback Lab, Department of Psychiatry, Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center
