Hi Pete,

Do you recommend doing occipital alpha training at O1 instead of OZ or O2?

I found some posts in the archives suggesting that alpha at O1 should be greater

than at O2, which of course differs from the usual recommendations for parietal,

central, frontal, etc. that right hemisphere alpha should be greater than left

hemisphere alpha.

Thanks,

O1 is the highest alpha site on the brain, but forward of the occipitals, as you note, the higher side is on the right, not the left.  I generally train alpha peak up at P4 (just because of the logistics of keeping the electrode on, but O1/A1 also works fine.  Probably just as well not to train on the midline.

Hi,

May I be a bit bold and suggest not to do anything on the 12-15 but instead

reduce anything above 19Hz.

The 12-15Hz is the activity which the brain has to go to in order to start

orient to stimulus. I use this frequency

( a lot) for depression and anxiety. When the 4-6Hz and the 19Hz upwards is

reduced and the 10Hz comes

afterwards and stays there. :-)

Bye for now,

I would also look at their presenting symptoms and train to that, I would imagine with an alpha as high as this that their anxiety is off the scale.
