Dr. Paul Lehrer offered a masterclass in humility, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of understanding how the body heals itself.

Walking just 5,000 to 7,500 steps a day could delay Alzheimer's symptoms by six years.

John Anderson and John Davis discuss learning processes and mindfulness in neurofeedback.

Clients can perform SPC correctly with minimal instruction.

Neurofeedback combines precise signal measurement with human learning.

A null result does not always mean that the independent variable (the factor manipulated by the researcher) does not affect on the dependent variable (the outcome being measured).

Slow-paced contraction (SPC) is an indispensable HRV training exercise because it provides a direct, rhythmic means of engaging the autonomic nervous system through gentle, coordinated muscle activity.

If you record enough EEGs, you eventually meet the benzodiazepine (BZD) signature. The patient looks calm, the tracing looks faster than usual, and the familiar posterior alpha rhythm feels washed out. That impression is not a mirage.

A comprehensive meta-analysis of 138 studies found that facial feedback does have a statistically significant effect on emotional experience, but the effect is small and highly variable.

Carbon dioxide, the waste gas we exhale with every breath, plays an equally vital role in maintaining our health and wellbeing.

HiTOP aligns with evidence-based, transdiagnostic treatment models and bridges research with clinical practice.

A global drop in amplitude suggests either a disruption in metabolic support—such as mitochondrial failure—or widespread cortical inhibition.

The identification of the FOXP4 variant marked a turning point in the case formulation, shifting the clinical emphasis toward genomics, mitochondrial assessment, and integrative medicine.

We wish clinicians—particularly those interpreting pediatric EEGs—understood that alpha squeaks are normal, age-appropriate findings that reflect an active but immature visual-cortical network.

Alternating respiration patterns can significantly enhance functional communication between brain regions, promote emotional equilibrium, and optimize autonomic nervous system performance.
