Re: HEG self training - machine works great but I can't get the pointer to move

[Guest guest]

Bruce,

Unlike most of my clients, it took me at least 6 sessions to see any increase

over 1% or 2% with nIR HEG. What I did was change the scale on the threshold so

I could see the subtle changes. That helped reduce the frustration.

Pete's recent advice to me was not to give up on HEG too quickly.

I hope this helps,

Bill

I wanted to start out using the unit by training HEG on Fp1.

Bruce,The A1 is the original version of the Pocket Neurobics--it used infrared communication between the amplifier and the computer (which never worked very well). It sounds like you are using it as a standalone device, without BioExplorer or a computer.  That should still be useful.

You seem to be saying that when you start a session, no signal appears on the screen.  If the batteries are okay and the red light in the nIR headband is on, there should be a signal.. Unfortunately it's been 6 years or more since I used the A1, and the menu system has been upgraded several times since then.  I would suggest that you contact Minder Labs, makers of the Pocket Neurobics devices and verify with them that you are using the correct menu settings.

There is nothing wrong with the machine. It works fine. The problem is I have no control over my cerebral blood flow and I have no idea how to make it increase.

The A-1's hooked up correctly, the batteries are fresh, I can access all the protocols and screens, change the screen contrast, etc.

My problem is, When I am hooked up to the machine, I cannot increase my

regional cerebral blood flow, rCBF. Proof of that is the screen display never moves.

How can I get started moving the display in the right direction?

thanks in advance for any advice
