ANECDOTE

Neurofeedback's Origin

  • Dr. Andrew Hill recounts Dr. Barry Sterman's accidental discovery of neurofeedback.
  • Cats exposed to rocket fuel, some having prior brainwave training, showed seizure resistance, leading to human applications.
INSIGHT

SMR and ADHD

  • The brainwave SMR, associated with focus, is trained in neurofeedback for ADHD and seizure control.
  • A calm, focused state (high SMR) is the opposite of an ADHD state (high theta, low SMR).
ADVICE

Personalized Neurofeedback

  • Dr. Hill recommends tailored neurofeedback with a brain map (qEEG) for personalized training.
  • He advises against one-size-fits-all approaches, which can worsen existing conditions.
