Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Pete - My wife had a QEEG done, (waiting on my Brainquiry device to arrive to do a TLC assessment), and it showed a very focused hot-spot in Beta/High Beta @ F8 (+3 SD's). Is this similar to what you are taking about in #2? The Clinician we were working with just suggested we train down Beta @ F8, but I have a feeling that the training her brain needs isn't that simple. Would you suggest the M2/Fp1 SMR training listed below to help w/ " emotional liability issues " , or is there another protocol we can use until I fumble my way through doing my first TLC assessment at home?
