Integration of EEG, DC/SCP, and Peripheral Measures in Biofeedback Thomas F. Collura, Ph.D. QEEG-D BrainMaster Technologies, Inc. The Brain Enrichment Center
EEG • Neuronal Synchrony • Connectivity • Local versus Distance communication • Brain Homeostasis • Wide range of training paradigms
DC/SCP • Primarily Glial Activity • Some neuronal IPSP, EPSP contribution • Overall Activation • Correlation with level of Consciousness • Trained for epilepsy, ADD, BCI
Peripheral Measures • Temperature • Heart Rate – HRV • Respiratory Effort • Skin Conductance Response • EMG
Relevant Mechanisms • Sympathetic / Parasympathetic • Concentration / Relaxation • Levels of Meditation • Levels of Deep States
Training Paradigms • Use 2 to bridge mind and body • Cade, Wise: EEG monitoring + SCR • Use breathing as precursor to NF • Freeze Framer, Wild Divine • Use temp training as introduction to self-regulation
Example: EEG Alpha + HRV • (a) Reward bursts of alpha with sound / video • (b) Reward HRV resonance on exhalations with sound • Extra Reward when (a) and (b) coincide
Example: DC/SCP Training • F3: Approach, engagement, interest • F4: Withdrawal, apprehension, disinterest • P3: Language processing, integration with self, logical reasoning and memory • P4: Image processing, integration with environment, spatial reasoning and memory
