How to Make HEG Work

How to Make HEG Work. What is HEG ?. HEG is the study of Neurofeedback controlled blood flow. Hemoencephalography (HEG). 1) HEG & fMRI live on blood oxygenation. 2) Oxygenated blood is red. 3) Deoxygenated blood is purple. 4) HEG looks at the brain to see its color.

  1. How to Make HEG Work

  2. What is HEG ? HEG is the study of Neurofeedback controlled blood flow

  3. Hemoencephalography (HEG) 1) HEG & fMRI live on blood oxygenation. 2) Oxygenated blood is red. 3) Deoxygenated blood is purple. 4) HEG looks at the brain to see its color. 5) Active brains are red. 6) Inactive brains are purple.

  4. HEG light path through skull

  5. It’s not dark in there. • In the sunlight, if you were in there, you could read a newspaper by that light.

  6. HEG Spectrophotometer

  7. Where does HEG Work

  8. HEG = Blood Flow =Angiogenesis SPECT Blood Flow Map Yellow = Normal Flow Blue = Very Low Flow

  9. HEG or EEG Learned Conditons Maladaptive, Addictive, Dissociative, Anxiety, PTSD, Brain States Developmental Disorders, Injury ADD/HD, Autism, Aspberger’s, Depression, TBI, Learning Disabled, Dyslexia, Schizophrenia, Stroke

  10. EEG & HEG Angiogenesis & Synaptogenesis.

  11. What Matters? Electrode placement ? Protocols ? Instruments ? Frequencies ? Therapist skill ?

  12. What Matters ? • Where we train • What we train • How much we train Strangely ! • Not much else.

  13. Repetition of demands develops the Brain! Repetition: Learning = Synaptogenesis Exercise = Angiogenesis

  14. Do you like to read? T4-Fp1 • Do you recognize written words ? • Is reading hard work ? • Do you reread sentences or paragraphs ?

  15. Broca’s Area T3 • Do your words sound right ? • Is it the intended word ? • Do you stumble over words ?

  16. BipolarPatient with Neurologic Impairment

  17. Neurofeedback is a Brain Exercise Exercise Repetition makes the difference in Angiogenesis and Blood flow

  18. Patient Gains vs HEGSessions

  19. Memory & DyslexiaAt 17 Heidi couldn’t read.A word repeated many timeswas always a new word.Her frequent reversals said no instead of on. When math changed from visual to conceptual, she was lost. T5, F7, Fp1, Fpz, Fp2, F8, T5

  20. Crutches F7-T3 • Do you use memory aids? • Do make lists? • Lists of lists? • Do you forget why you entered a room

  21. Where Train ? The accessible brain module contributing most to dysfunction

  22. functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) • Oxygenated blood cells are not magnetic • Deoxygenated blood cells are magnetic • Intense radio magnetic field spins molecules • Molecules continue to spin after field is off • Radio receiver amplifies spinning signal • Computer makes picture slices from signal

  23. That’s HEG neurofeedback working
