A Symphony in the Brain, by Jim Robbins

Imagine a procedure versatile enough to treat epilepsy, autism, attention deficit disorder, addictions, and depression with no drugs or side effects; to bring patients out of vegetative states; and to improve everything from golf scores to opera singers' voices. These are only some of the claims made for neurofeedback, a controversial but effective treatment that is revolutionizing the way an incredibly diverse range of medical and psychological conditions are treated.

In A Symphony in the Brain, Jim Robbins traces the fascinating, untold story of the development of neurofeedback, from its discovery by a small corps of research psychologists, to its growing application across the country and around the world, to present battles for acceptance in the conservative medical world. Offering a wealth of powerful case studies, accessible scientific explanations, and dramatic personal accounts, Robbins journeys through a remarkable field, which he brings to the public eye for the first time.

 

 
The High-Performance Mind

This is a great book for anyone who wants to master his/her brain power in any situation of everyday life. It is so clear about how our brain works, explaining about beta states, alpha, theta and delta. It becomes so clear. Anna Wise gives you exercises to master your brainwaves, to boost your creativity, to heal, to concentrate, to get the best out of yourself and it is easy if you follow what she says and if you give some daily time to them. I practice meditation, visualisation since some time and this book is really simple and clear to apply. It is not about spirituality only it is a scientific point of view from someone who applicates what she explains. She gives tips I had never read in any book before. She gives you the key to be what you've always been without knowing it, to become an awakened mind as anybody should be.

Carolyn Robertson is a certified Neurotherapist. She is not a licensed physician. EEG-Neurofeedback services are not licensed by the State of California and are considered alternative or complementary to healing arts services that are licensed by the State of California. EEG-Neurofeedback services involve learning to change your own behavior utilizing feedback to modify your brain wave patterns. That feedback is provided by equipment that monitors and shows brain wave activity. The theory of treatment of EEG-Neurofeedback services is based on 40 years of research conducted in university settings across the country and outside the United States. EEG-Neurofeedback is a combination of operant conditioning and biofeedback. Further explanation can be found on this website.
