FW: Ideal TLC assessment

[Guest guest]

Luke

Several things come to mind as I read your posts. 1) Over time as the

TLC assessment evolved there was " more or less " a natural order of

training, doing the " TONE " issues first. My assumption has always been

(Pete correct me if I get some things wrong), that the midbrain has such

an effect on everything else, while the strictly cortical processes (if

there really is such a thing) do not, of sense to start there. Then the

trainer might move on to Filtering and Processing issues (some of these

may disguise themselves as parts of the other).

2) The assessment has two parts, and the subjective part is based on the

client's own experience of the world. Definitely important in the

selection tree for training sites, and protocols.

3) Much of the assessment is based on the interrelationship of each of

the brain areas, also very important because when you " shift " one part

of the brain it certainly impacts the others.

4) The client's experience while training must also be considered. For

example, some folks get hyper from standard beta training, even though

the objective and possibly subjective might indicate beta training, some

folks just don't tolerate it well.

QEEG is a normed data base and based on data review of thousands of

brains. However since the brain is quite plastic, and the Q represents

only one point in time, to use it as an absolute, may or may not be

helpful (unless of course you're Jay Gunkleman). However, many of my

colleagues who I hold in very high regard swear by them.

All that being said, if you look on the " analyze " page of TLC for

instance (also as pointed out, the blues and reds) you will find

some norms. For instance beta coherence higher than 40 should be worked

with... so you might infer that if it was 41, it might be less important

than if it was 75. I'm not sure I would buy into that. The short of

this, to me, is that the brain is very fluid, and many aspects other

than norms must be considered. It's rather like (uh oh here comes the

cliché) a quantum or holistic assessment must be done.

Best of everything
