Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative therapy technique developed in the late 1980s to treat posttraumatic stress disorder in Viet Nam veterans.  It has come to be recognized as an effective treatment for many types of trauma, as well as disturbing symptoms caused by stressful life events,  by the American Psychiatric Association, the Department of Defense, and the International Society for Traumatic Stress.

A photonic stimulator is a device that emits infrared light.  Infrared light has been used for decades to treat and relieve some types of pain, to promote healing after mechanical and burn trauma, as well as to treat arthritic conditions. Although this particular device is not yet FDA registered, the FDA has registered similar devices as Class 2 medical devices, which are held to a performance standard, rather than to an efficacy standard.  In other words, it has to work as it’s advertised, that is, it must reliably generate infrared.

The NeuroField system is a variable DC stimulation device that is designed to reduce stress and energetically balance the human body.  NeuroField is designed to deliver small electrical pulses to the energy field that is generated by the human brain.  It is theorized that the energy field created by the brain can absorb energy and deliver it to damaged molecular systems in the body. When the molecular systems are repaired they allow the natural wisdom of the body to engage its regenerative systems so as to promote stress reduction and healing.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Transcranial direct current stimulation is a non-invasive method that shifts membrane potential towards hypo- or hyperpolarization and therefore leads to functional changes in a discrete area of the cerebral cortex.Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is the application of weak electrical currents (1-2 mA) to modulate the activity of neurons in the brain. Several generations of neurophysiological experiments have shown that neurons respond to static (DC) electrical fields by altering their firing rates. Firing increases when the positive pole or electrode (anode) is located near the cell body or dendrites and decrease when the field is reversed. However, when the electrodes are placed on the scalp, the current density produced in the brain is exceedingly small, changing membrane potentials only by a fraction of a millivolt.

The LENS, or Low Energy Neurofeedback System, is related to traditional neurofeedback but differs in the type and nature of the “feedback” component. Whereas traditional neurofeedback is based on operant conditioning of the EEG, LENS uses a very low power electromagnetic field, like the ones that surround digital watches and wires in the wall, to carry feedback to the person receiving it. The feedback travels down the same wires carrying the brain waves to the amplifier and computer. Although the feedback signal is weak, it produces a measurable change in the brainwaves without conscious effort from the individual receiving the feedback. The LENS software allows the EEG signals that are recorded at the scalp to control the feedback.

Quantitative Electroencephalographic (QEEG) and Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback, involves training individuals to change the way their brain functions by allowing them to control their electroencephalogram (EEG), or brain waves. Based on solid scientific research from the fields of neurophysiology, psychology, learning and medicine, this technique is changing the way many brain dysfunctions are treated.
