Gwen,

There really isn't a recognized pattern for bipolar on the TLC--or in the QEEG

to the best of my knowledge. There is some indication that it may be, like other

affective issues, a Tone problem. When the Autonomic Nervous System is stuck in

Sympathetic mode, the client in manic; due to adrenal exhaustion after a period,

the client collapses into the depressive phase.

ADHD is, of course, such a broad category that there is no one pattern that

relates to it. As you may recall from the Level 2 training, in the TLC we think

of it as a continuum between Processing problems (primary language-processing

issues and a tendency to fall back into one's own thoughts) and Filterning

problems (distractible, impulsive, emotionally labile). Processing is

characterized by excessive slow-wave activity, theta/beta ratios that are high

(above 2.0), often low alpha/theta ratios. It is often clear in the

sensorimotor cortex and especially in the parietal and posterior temporal areas

(e.g. T5 and T6 optional sites) when there are learning problems or sensory

integration issues. Filterning is more likely to show up with lower than normal

theta/beta ratios (below 1.2) and low levels of SMR (less than 10% of total EEG

at C4 with eyes open) in the assessment.

Anxiety shows a variety of patterns: excessive beta on the right frontally,

more beta in the parietal or occipital regions (relative values) than in the

frontals, low levels of alpha in the parietals, or high levels of alpha in the

frontals (especially with slow peak frequency in alpha).

Dear All

A few of us are thinking of meeting to look at the TLC assessment following Sebern Fisher's workshop in Sydney on the 26th of June. Owing to a computer crash I have lost contact details for those previously interested. If you are interested or know of anyone who is interested please forward this to them. We are not sure of a venue as yet so we are open to suggestions or offers.

Regards

Mark Baddeley

Jo,If you have a spike at 50 Hz, that's almost certainly electromagnetic interference.  If you have activity in the high 40's and into the 50's, etc.then it is likely EMG from muscle tension.Pete

I sometimes cannot reduce 50Hz level whatever I do.

If someone have very high hi-beta.

That would affect 50Hz level, wouldn't it?

So high level of 50Hz may not be a noise but brainwave?

Pete,

Thank you. I will monitor the muscle tension more closely.

Please answer about very low frequency reward.

When I try to find the smr frequency for young one, I lower the reward

frequency to find the client movement stop or his shoulder drop. I go

as low as 0-3Hz with inhibit frequencies 1-14Hz and 15-38Hz.

I am not comfortable to reward that low but I get good result doing so.

Last time an autistic boy of ten became calm with the reward of

1.5-4.5Hz at T4 and P4.

You said that if it work, keep doing it.

But I need reconfirmation that it is OK to do so from you.

Jo,I'm afraid I'm not the person to help you with the very low frequency stuff. I don't use it. I would agree that if it calmed the client, then at least the temporary effect is good. My only concern is whether the effect ever stabilizes.

You've gotten some answers from people who do use the system and they sound pretty reasonable.Pete

Hi Jo,I don't use the low frequencies reward, but I understand that the people who started that training always used on bipolar montages, so you are not rewarding the low frequency on a specific location, you are increasing the difference between those two active sites, e.g. between T4 and P4. Now, my concern is that in that range of frequency, I personally believe, is better to decrease the difference, looking for a closer coherence between those two sites.

,

My electrode placements are T4 active, A2 reference, A1 ground.

Do you know about Betty's protocol which reward 6-9Hz at T4 for

autistic clients.

I was getting good results using it. And I got better results when I

lowered the reward to say somewhere like 5.5-8.5.

And I also lower reward frequency at C4 to find client's shoulder drop.

I got good results rewarding 1.5-4.5Hz at T4 and P4 last time.

But I am not comfortable doing so, if the chances of triggering

seizure increase.

Pete,

When I reward 1.5-4.5Hz and inhibit 2-14 and 15-38Hz at T4, I set the

threshold of the reward to 98% or so.

Do you think there is a big difference between setting reward

threshold at 98% and having no reward only inhibition of 2-14Hz and

15-38Hz.
