New brain trainer

[Guest guest]

Hi folks, I thought I'd give an account of my experiences so far and also ask a

few questions.

I have been brain training for the last 3 months or so with Pete, and I have to

say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was quite challenging to

get started, but with a bit of research and perseverance I am now getting very

good results.

My first introduction to neurofeedback was using the zengar system. I had a

great results but I refused to pay $10K for a system. Also it was a 2 hour drive

to the only practitioner near me. I contacted Pete and did some further

research and was able to get started.

My main area of interest was with peak performance as I have a fairly stressful

challenging work schedule.

I highly recommend reading the book " Getting started with neurofeedback " by

Demos. I wouldn't recommend doing self training to anyone who is not confident

with fairly technical equipment. My job involves handling $80M equipment and I

think I may have frustrated Pete with a few of my questions at times ;-) We got

there in the end though.

My training protocol involves lowering multichannel coherence, alpha beta

synchrony and alpha theta training. One or more of these protocols is really

having a positive effect on my outlook. (life seems brighter and I'm very

upbeat and positive).

Is there any written material on what the typical symptoms of each protocol are

after training? ie what to expect to feel like after training?

I haven't managed to lower my Beta coherence significantly. Is this something

that takes a fair bit of time? Or should it happen within the first 5 sessions?

I have also come across 40hz gamma training and read some material on this. Can

the Gamma training protocols be experimented with without having a TLC

assessment? After hearing about the results some people have reported, I'd love

to try them.

I am based in Melbourne Australia and travel interstate regularly, if there are

any other trainers in Australia who would like to get in touch feel free to send

me an email.

Thanks again Pete for all your help. It was well worth the effort.
