EEG:
Kirtley Thornton, PhD will be offering the activation seminar on March 28, 2010 (Sunday-starting at 10 AM, EST), which will consist of a 6 hour lecture covering the results of 5 years of research on activation procedures (18 cognitive tasks) with the QEEG. The results are presented in over 200 powerpoint slides. The cognitive tasks involved attention (visual and auditory), memory (auditory for paragraphs, word lists; visual for reading material and Korean figures; auditory-visual for names of faces), pronunciation of nonsense words, problem solving (Raven’s matrices), spelling, mathematics (multiplication and internal spatial addition), memory for a “todo” list and where objects were placed, and the emotions of love, happiness and sadness. You can visit our website chp-neurotherapy.com for examples and a fuller explanation of the method.
The memory tasks all involve the input, immediate and delayed recall periods. The data was collected with the Lexicor unit with the frequency range extended up to 64 Hertz. The results for the groups are divided between children (ages 7-14) and adults (greater than age 14). The normative sample size is about 90. The effects of brain injury (N=90) (within and as opposed to normals) on auditory memory, eyes closed and attention tasks will also be presented.
Employing the activation database to guide the treatment interventions, I have been able to obtain an auditory memory improvement average of 3 standard deviations improvement in 20 learning disabled subjects, 2.61 standard deviation improvement in 19 brain injured subjects, 130% improvement in 3 normal subjects, 6 grade levels in math in one learning disabled 9 year old female, etc.
The fee is $200. Registration is required as space is limited.
