The human mind is a learning machine. We are constantly taking in new information, processing that information, and making decisions based on what we learn. Biofeedback is a process that teaches the mind so that it can learn to control the body. This book is a comprehensive look into this holistic type of learning; it explores how moods, muscles, nerves, and brain waves can be controlled by the mind through biofeedback treatment. "Biofeedback" also examines the discussions surrounding this topic. Though a lot of research has gone into exploring the mechanisms of biofeedback, science cannot explain exactly how the mind learns, so it cannot explain exactly how biofeedback works, either. And for this reason, biofeedback has long been questioned by traditional medicine.

Neurofeedback is a cutting-edge, drug-free therapeutic technique used by over a thousand licensed therapists in North America to treat a range of conditions from attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders to epilepsy, stroke, anxiety, migraine, and depression. First popularized in the 1970s, this naturalistic method is based on the idea that we can control our brain activity and that, through training, the brain can learn to modify its own electrical patterns for more efficient processing or to overcome various states of dysfunction.



In Biofeedback for the Brain, Dr. Paul G. Swingle describes in clear and coherent language how these procedures work. With numerous actual case examples, readers follow the progress of clients from the initial "brain map" that shows the location and severity of the neurological abnormalities to the various stages of treatment. Conditions often considered untreatable by conventional health practitioners respond positively to neurotherapeutic treatment and Swingle describes many of these remarkable recoveries. Other chapters describe the use of neurotherapy for a variety of surprising purposes, including performance training for elite athletes, of which the most famous example is the Italian soccer team who considered the technique to be their "secret weapon" in attaining a World Cup victory.



Despite wide-ranging success stories and the endorsement of the American Psychological Association, many health care practitioners remain skeptical of neurofeedback and the procedures are still not well-known by the public or conventional health care providers. This book provides a thorough, definitive, and highly readable presentation of this remarkable health care alternative that offers millions of individuals a chance for healing.

This is the first new book in many years to provide a comprehensive review of the latest theory, research, and treatment of chronic headaches from a biopsychological perspective. It is designed to make the tools of assessment and therapy widely accessible, while placing them in the context of how the disorders arise. The physiology and psychology of pain, and each disorder, are reviewed in an accessible manner. Clinical experience, laboratory data, and illustrative vignettes aid in treatment selection.
Part I introduces the major types of headaches and provides a comprehensive review of pain. Part II details the major forms of headaches—migraine, tension-type, cluster, secondary, and headaches in children. A clinical presentation introduces each type of headache, followed by the physiological and psychological underpinnings and their implications for assessing and treating patients. Part III serves as a clinical guide for practitioners. The book closes with an analysis of how well the treatments work, the mechanisms behind the efficacy, and guidelines for treatment matching.

A range of practical tools is incorporated. Clinical evaluation is reviewed in depth, including the interview, psychometrics, and psychophysiological assessment. Key sections of the 2004 International Headache Society diagnostic criteria serve as a “mini” diagnostic manual. Tables allow rapid look-up of the various disorders and their distinguishing characteristics; trigger point referral patterns; and the comparative merits of migraine medications. Blank headache diaries, appropriate for various stages of treatment, serve as models. A relaxation exercise is provided, as are muscle tension and hand temperature norms. Key terms are defined in the extensive glossary to help psychologists and medical professionals share vocabulary. Medical, herbal, and behavioral therapies are discussed in terms of the underlying science. 

Chronic Headaches is intended for healthcare providers, pain specialists, psychologists, researchers, and clinicians who study headaches in a variety of disciplines. This accessible, student-tested text is ideal for graduate courses on the psychology of pain and/or chronic headaches. Readers will gain expertise in headaches and a clear sense of how to translate this knowledge into clinical practice.

The Proteus is the most effective and advanced Light and Sound Stimulation System available. A Proteus experience results from the machine gently guiding you into different mental states by stimulating your senses using special patterns of synchronized light and sound. Extraordinary kaleidoscopic patterns of color are seen behind your closed eyelids that dance with thick washes and pulses of sound. The special combination of flickering color and sound pulses creating these incredibly beautiful visuals are also making changes to your mental state. Your stress from the day is lost as your thoughts change while immersing yourself in this sensory experience. You feel different and very relaxed because your brain is producing more theta waves and alpha waves (found during meditation and deep relaxation), and less beta waves (what we have during "busy thinking" throughout the day). There is also more symmetry between the hemispheres in the brain when we are closer to the alpha state of dreaming, and this gives us a sense of inner balance. The Proteus has a wide range of uses because it has a wide range of beneficial effects, like years of meditation practices. Most people who purchase the Proteus use it for its profound relaxation effects and for entertainment use because of the fantastic visual display. It is also used for self-improvement purposes (Self-Help Tapes & CDs can be fed into a session with included cable), consciousness exploration, getting to sleep, lucid dreaming, controlling habitual behavior, and accelerated learning. Also Includes: Ruby/ Emerald MultiColor LiteFrames that shift smoothly between 4,096 colors. Dual Binaural Beats. AudioStrobe Decoder for use with a wide selection of special Music CDs that control the Proteus. A free AudioStrobe Music CD is included. Audio Cable for external audio feeds. Manual. Carrying Case.

More than 1/3 of a million GSR2 in use today! The small, hand-held and self contained GSR 2 is a Galvanic Skin Response monitoring device for home biofeedback. The term biofeedback defines a method for teaching a person how to change a certain behavior or pattern, like breathing or tension in muscles, by providing some type of feedback on progress. For example, one way to learn to relax is to focus on your breathing. Repeated longer, slower breathing, will eventually lead to relaxed muscles. But how do you know you're relaxed, or getting better at getting relaxed? That's where the GSR 2 comes in. As your body goes through changes from tension to relaxation, many measurable biological things happen. Some examples are noticeable changes in muscle tension, heart, pulse rate and skin temperature. The GSR2 precisely monitors your stress levels by translating tiny tension-related changes in skin pores into a rising or falling tone. By resting two fingers on the sensing plates you learn to lower the pitch and your stress level. You basically get "biological" feedback through the GSR2 as you learn to relax and as you get better at doing it, you'll find yourself relaxing faster with or without the GSR2. Most people use the GSR2 to relax, but it actually can be used as an assistive tool in other way's as well. I use to help with meditation and visualization practice. I find it easier to get into a deep meditative state. Once I'm there I visualize my goals and plans and can better act on them. The Basic GSR2 includes biofeedback unit, earphone, instructional CD (side 1: "How to get the most from your GSR2", side 2: "fully-narrated relaxation exercise"), 9V battery and operator's manual.

Temperature biofeedback is based on the fact that when we relax, our hands and feet get warmer. The actual blood vessels relax and allow more warmth to flow from the core of the body to the extremities. Research has shown that we can learn to voluntarily warm our hands from within and this produces deep states of relaxation.
