Re: Coherence of brainwaves through music.

[Guest guest]

Hi Vickie,

I'm not a professional therapist, however I will recommend a company that does use music as therapy.

The company is Advanced Brain Technologies - http://advancedbrain.com/the-listening-program/the-listening-program.html

They have case studies listed however nothing on PTSD yet. I recommend you call the company and ask for Snee. She is working with veterans suffering

from PTSD. Just tell her Jeff recommended you to her. I am working with her on same type of project being a veteran myself.

I will keep in touch with you as things develop.

Best wishes - Jeff

I would love to know more about this. I have terrible PTSD and have started using neurofeedback to help. Music has always helped it and am wondering what the combination of the two would do.

thanks

Vicki

I'm doing a study of various types of music and sound and its effect on the coherence of brainwaves. Using a two channel amps which sites do you think be best for this type of measurement? I'm thinking either F3/F4 or perhaps P3/P4.I really appreciate your opinions.Jeff

Dear Vicki and Jeff,

I've known Doman since 1998 and followed his career closely. He is a deeply

committed person and his technology is excellent. I recommend both the Brain

Builder and The Listening Program.

As with most interventions I also recommend it be done under the supervision of

a professional who knows what he or she is doing. If you are a professional, you

might consider using this technology with your EEG or HEG training.

During the 1990s we had excellent results with PTSD using two channel EEG

devices to train coherence. Select the sites and frequency bands with the

highest coherence. Train down for five minutes, up for five minutes, down for

five minutes, up for five minutes and down for five minutes. The sequence is

Down, Up, Down, Up, Down for five minutes each.

What this does is break up the locked-in high coherence and make the brain

return to a natural state of being flexible.

In the case of closed head injury it is also common to find a lack of

communication between different parts of the brain. This shows up as low

coherence that can be corrected by changing the sequence to Up, Down, Up, Down,

Up for five minute intervals.

It's common for abused people suffering from PTSD to have both low and high

coherence problems. The good news is it rarely takes more than five to seven

sessions to bring the brain brain back into a state of flexibility.

The problem is not that the brain has high or low coherence during a training

session, but that the coherence is locked-in and doesn't want to change. A

normal brain switches into high and low coherence all the time.

Locked-in high coherence can also be indicative or anger or anxiety issues.

Locked-in low coherence and also indicate depression. These issues may need to

be addressed as well.

Locked-in coherence is also common with people suffering from drug or alcohol

abuse and/or addictions. This includes food addictions.

Peace,
