Adjusting SMR bandwidth for kids

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am training a 9-year-old whose peak alpha is between

9.5 and 10. When I train him at C4, setting SMR at

11.5-14.5, there is no calming whatsoever; the leg is

tapping away, and he's talking a mile a minute. In our

third session, I lowered the bandwidth and got to 8-11

before he stopped tapping away. I felt like I could go

lower, too, but stopped there during the session.

Besides his assessment, I also put electrodes at P3 &

p4 (2 channel) and had him close and open his eyes

every 45 seconds to figure out what his peak alpha is.

I feel I should go with results and train at 8-11. But

I feel uncertain about it. My question is, do I train

11.5-14.5 or 8-11?

Thanks,

Jane
