Invitation to join new Z-score Training Group

[Guest guest]

To list members:

The purpose of this note is to update an invitation made yesterday to

join our new group that is concerned with using real time Z-score

information (to inform the conventional feedback process in real time

or, perhaps, using Z-score information itself as a training

parameter. Since yesterday, I have learned how to add a link here to

greatly simplify the process of joining. See the link at the end of

this note.

While it is much too early to tell, Z-score training may represent

one of the waves of the future of neurofeedback training. Only future

clinical experience and research will determine the magnitude of the

wave, but such training and future iterations of the approaches MAY

may help us increase neurofeedback efficacy and efficiency, perhaps

making what we do both more effective and cost-effective. It may also

be that such approaches will decrease the probability of brief,

unintended, negative side-effects. But thus far such thoughts remain

only speculation.

While the list was only started yesterday, a few clinicians who are

already using this approach have already been generous enough to post

on the list about their experiences to date. If you know of people

using Z-score approaches who may not be on this list, please share

this note with them and ask them to consider joining. And for people

like myself who have not yet started using this approach, my hope is

that the list will provide information that will enable all of us to

learn more, to collectively assist with critical thinking about it,

and to brainstorm (yes, I know) about ways in which these approaches

may help us all do better what we do.

So, please consider joining us. The link below should make it easy.
