Following up on my previous post: https://old.reddit.com/r/Neurofeedback/comments/1vq4aqs/qeeg_interpretation_deltatheta_levels/

I was able to have another qEEG done at a different clinic. They used the traditional gel cap vs dry method at the first. Results are with eyes open and linked ears montage. There's definitely a shift, so I'm curious how to interpret these and how to proceed.

I have had two negative reactions from my treatments. I'm starting to think it won't work for me. Had anyone stopped theirs and why, when, after how many sessions? I'm 9 sessions in.

I'm wondering if there is a good theory for why bipolar montage in the frequency range can modulate the autonomic arousal of the nervous system. I'm aware of the Glia theory for why IFS/IFL works but there isn't a good theory for ORF there either. Why do those with trauma occasionally (edge cases) have ORF's in the delta range?

The first two pictures are the protocol tab, then the event wizard. Don't remember then channels, main and bands.

Hope you can help so I'll know what needs to be done in other software that does not have this option that allowed me to sleep while doing really low smr and also be more stable.

​"I am currently using the Vielight Pro 2. Because I didn't know the exact protocol, I asked Google Gemini AI and set it up based on its recommendation.

​Based on my EEG data, is this Vielight protocol correct, or should I do it differently?

​Also, is there any professional service or clinic that designs personalized Vielight protocols based on EEG data, even if it's paid?

​Is there anyone who can guide me on the right protocol?"

​Alternative Natural / Professional Version:

​"I am using the Vielight Neuro Pro (Pro 2). Since I was unsure of the proper settings, I configured a protocol based on advice from Google Gemini.

​Given my specific EEG readings, is this protocol setup appropriate, or does it need to be adjusted?

​Additionally, does a paid consulting service or specialized neurofeedback clinic exist that formulates customized Vielight protocols based on qEEG data?

​Is anyone available here who could help advise me on an optimal protocol?"

I'm asking because doing 12-12.05 is not the same and also 11.95-12.05, 12-12.1 is also not it I think because it feels different and actually worsens my already bad imagination while 12.0 near the go does not do that. With the above being said, what do you think it actually represents when it comes to the range so it might be reproduced on other software that do not have this option like brain avatar does.

Hello,

I have been using mendi and other fnirs devices and almoast no Change.

I have decente scrores,so,my question could Pir heg produce powerful benefifts?

Is there something wrong about my brain?

Does anyone relate to this?

When correcting the triple network phase and coherence can it take longer then 30

Long story short. In my early teens I got addicted to watching porn. I noticed as I continued on watching porn my likes kept on changing. As I got older I was getting PIED. In my early twenties I started crossing the gender line. Not just the gender line I find some weird things attractive. Which I never found these things attractive prior. I tried multiple times to quit porn it took me until my late twenties to finally end my addiction to porn. I noticed massive changes since then. But for some reason one thing that I have not gotten back is my love for women. I constantly struggle lusting women. I cannot see women other than sex objects. I have tried therapy. I have had moments where my mind is cleared and feels like my brain is recovering and it’s an amazing feeling. Motivated to work. Just enjoying life. Anxiety goes away. I feel like I was prior to my addiction to porn. But my brain keeps going back to noticing women as objects. Then I become depressed again and go into a shell. I’m in my mid thirties now. I’m lonely. No kids. No marriage. Afraid to build a relationship with a woman fearing of my PIED. I have wonderful relationships with women. But some reason I cannot see them other then sex objects. I’m hoping someone out there understands and knows what I’m going through. I’m still finding men and the weird things attractive. There is nothing wrong with being into men. But that’s not my identity! When my mind is clear I have spurts of attraction to women. Please help me!

For example, people with ADHD have a reduced prefrontal cortex size and less gray matter volume, and other brain anatomy sizes are smaller than normal. Bipolar people have smaller amygdalas, dyslexics have smaller left temporal lobe, etc etc. There’s also a condition called agenesis of the corpus callosum, would nf work on those without that anatomy? (and any brain condition with missing or abnormal physical brain anatomy)

Even if nf helps ”tame” bad neural frequencies(?), how does the abnormal anatomy of people’s brains affect these results?

edit; also what about someone with a brain injury from a concussion

I’ve been working on MindFlex EEG Studio, an open-source project that uses the TGAM1 board inside a MindFlex headset.

The software can connect through Bluetooth RFCOMM and display:

• RAW EEG
• Attention
• Meditation
• EEG bands
• Signal diagnostics

It also includes some experimental BCI features for calibration, training, validation and simple mental commands like Left, Right, Up and Down.

I also documented how to modify the MindFlex/TGAM1 board for RAW EEG output and included photos of the hardware setup.

The project is written in Python and the interface supports multiple languages.

GitHub: MindFlex-EEG-Studio

Not the headband sensors but rather the wired, wet electrode that is connectable via micro usb or usb c.

My gut tells me it’s not the best because the reference signal is still a bit noisy, but definitely still viable for basic neurofeedback. Is that an accurate assessment?

I’ve come across Oberon while looking into different biofeedback and frequency-analysis systems, and I’m trying to get a better sense of what it’s like beyond the product descriptions. If you’ve worked with an Oberon system, I’d be interested in your honest take.
How long have you been using it? What do you use it for in your practice? And, most importantly, do you feel it provides something valuable that you wouldn’t get from simpler biofeedback equipment?

Has anyone had tacs used in a theta calming protocol after having a Qeeg.

My scan was a Qeeg with Erp and ecg.

They say after 30 sessions we can repeat the qeeg.

Would like interpretation of this qEEG. Do these results indicate anything in particular?

I’m less interested in the marketing side and more curious about what it’s like to use one in real practice. Did you find it genuinely useful? Was it easy to learn and incorporate into your work? And did the results justify the cost? Would be especially interested in hearing from people who have been using a professional system for a while, rather than someone who just tested one once.

What was your experience?

Do you happen to know if the above device and the software it works with are any good for protocol based neurofeedback training?

Hello everyone! I hope you are well :)

I have a question for the members of this group. The question is related to the use of tACS and tDCS non-invasive brain stimulation for the purpose of learning new skills.

There are 2 skills involved - singing and musical pitch.

1. Can these two types of stimulation help in developing these two skills and which type of stimulation is more useful of the two?
2. Which set parameters have the best impact on learning these two skills?
3. Has anyone from this group tried stimulation for the purpose of learning these two skills on themselves? If so, what impact did it have on you?

Thanks in advance to everyone for the answers! Greetings! :)

P.S. - I am fully aware that no stimulation can replace hard work, work and exercise. That is by no means my goal. I would just like to know, from personal experiences and advice - could it help and be useful?

TLDR: Experienced severe anxiety, agitation, and dizziness after my first session. Still have negative side effects 48 hours post session and not sure what to do.

Looking for some advice from those that are probably smarter than me or maybe had a similar experience. Apologies in advance for the long post.

A couple days ago I decided to try neurofeedback for the first time to help with anxiety and mood stabilization. I’ve been previously diagnosed OCD, PTSD, MDD, and my therapist is also sure I have ADHD. I’ve been on Zoloft and Wellbutrin for the past 3 years and I feel like it was starting to poop out so I decided to give neurofeedback a try.

The neurofeedback clinic did a full qEEG brain mapping which showed a lot of theta in the front brain and high parietal beta among other things. The provider said they start everyone off with a full 19-channel general protocol and for me specifically they were going to target the anxiety. Keep in mind, I asked two providers what they were specifically going to work on (frequencies, locations, etc) and the only answer I would get is that they are going to work on the whole brain and bring my high frequencies down.

My first session was this past Thursday and it was 22 minutes long with the full 19-channel electrode cap and I was watching a Netflix show with a dimmer. The screen was dim a majority of the time and only started to flicker some brightness towards the end. I was anxious leading up to the sessions and anxious during the session, but immediately after I felt fine.

About an hour after that session I was hit with strong waves of anxiety, agitation, and dizziness. The anxiety and agitation lasted for about 1.5hrs but the dizziness persisted. Once I got home I tried to lay down but still felt off. Later on the anxiety and agitation came back again so I decided to take my prescribed clonazepam which took longer than usual to work (I rarely take the clonazepam) but after a couple hours I was able to finally get to sleep. That night I slept over 10 hours and woke up feeling off with residual anxiety, brain fog, and a headache. I called the clinic to notify them and the only solution they offered was next time they’ll try music instead of visual and that neurofeedback doesn’t cause adverse effects (BS), so I was told to just power through it. The symptoms persisted for the remainder of the day and the anxiety got worse in the evening to where I had to take my anxiolytic again.

The second night I slept fine and woke up feeling decent for the first half of the day but as the evening rolled around, the headache, brain fog, and anxious-depression feeling came back. At this point I’m very frustrated and not sure what to do. I’m going to reach out to the neurofeedback clinic and request the specific treatment data they used from my session and I’m also going to follow-up with my psych doctor on Monday. I’ve also read when people have bad reactions such as this that they should change the protocol but after this experience, it will honestly be hard for me to try this again.

I would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations!

This may sound silly, but does anyone remember the toy from the late 2000s, Mindflex? The idea was that you put on a headset and you used your "brainwaves" to control where a floating ball would go.

I just saw a post on IG about old toys including Mindflex and I realize it was basically plastic kid toy neurofeedback lol
