Alpha blocking etc.

[Guest guest]

Good day all,

I have a 2 part question for which I'd appreciate some input. When a

client has poor alpha blocking, i.e. alpha going up eyes open and/or

at task, should the training down include high alpha range or just low

alpha - and - should it be trained only at the sites that show this

pattern?

Thanks for the help.

Corina,

This would be pretty unusual. It's not uncommon to see a client whose alpha doesn't drop with eyes open and at task, but when it goes up, and you are certain it really is doing so, that would definitely be something to train. If you look at the assessment Histograms and Maps pages) you'll be able to see if it is going up in both 8-10 and 10-12 Hz bands. If so, then train the whole band to inhibit with eyes open. If only one sub-band is misbehaving, then just train that.

I'd train it specifically at the sites where you see it strongest, especially if the are on the front or left.
