RE: First installment new package of TLC designs for BE

[Guest guest]

Dear Pete,

Thanks for the

complete reply. It helped to know that your intent is just to weed out

training screens which you may have grown beyond, eliminate redundancy, and

organize things better. It makes me realize that I may not be as behind

(and I use the word advisedly) as I thought. I just don’t want to

fall too far behind so that I don’t know how to catch up.

I’ve been

following the BFE/Dupont discussion and can feel the frustration that many

people have. I’m sure that they will eventually catch up.

Meanwhile, the Infiniti Channel Editor and Screen Editors have really helped me

in the past to make changes necessary to accomplish what I wanted with training

screens. Thank you so much for continuing to pioneer in this field and

evolve better strategies based upon new advances.

installment new package of TLC designs for BE

Jill,

The TLC system is two parts, as you know. There's the assessment, which

can be done with BE or with Infiniti. That can be used independent of the

training approach. The TLC training approach is implemented primarily in

the BE designs package, but Francois Dupont ported many of the designs over to

Infiniti. I believe everyone who has bought the Infiniti TLC package from

Biofeedback Europe (BFE) has both the assessment files and at least a batch of

the training files. Francois began the process with BFE of expanding the

training files into a Suite for Infiniti, adding, I believe, some of the newer

protocols, etc., but none of us seems to be able to get an answer as to exactly

when that upgrade will be available to those of you who bought the package

first. I've been in contact with BFE and with Francois on several

occasions each, and they are " committed " to getting it out, but it

never quite seems to make it. I'm as helpless as you are in that regard.

The BE package has grown over the last 5 years into a substantial pile (and I

use the word advisedly) of training options, some of them quite a bit alike,

some variations of the same protocol for eyes closed or eyes open, some that I

never use any more, etc. One of my goals for this year was to trim the

package down and organize it, so users could easily find the protocol they

wanted among a smaller number of protocols. There would be Squashes,

Squishes, Windowed Squashes, amplitude down protocols, amplitude down and up

protocols, peak frequency protocols, coherence/synchrony protocols,

percent/ratio protocols, balance/symmetry protocols and some specialty designs

like Alpha Theta. Most, if not all, of those already exist in the

Infiniti package (though not necessarily called the same thing).

So the process I began today does not add a whole bunch of new stuff so much as

rationalize and make better use of BE's programming options in implementing the

same approaches as if they were being done by me for the first time today with

what I know today.

I hope this helps. I wish I could help get something out of Francois,

since my guess is that it's 98% done and he just doesn't want to release it

until he puts the last finishing touches on it, because I know he feels the

disappointment and frustration you all experience and I can't imagine that BFE

doesn't recognize the shoddiness of the way they are treating the people who

supported them early in this project. But I don't know what to do any

more.

Pete

Dear Pete,

I admit -

I'm more than a little confused by this latest stage of evolution in the

TLC. Since I use the Infiniti, I've been waiting I think for the previous

stage to be made available through BFE. Am I understanding correctly that

there is now a newer stage that is available, probably for Bioexplorer

only? And, what does the latest stage offer that the old TLC does not,

other than organization?
