We want to congratulate author Dr. Rex Cannon for his patient and devoted work with this text. We hope that those interested in LORETA will find the nearly 2 years that it took to complete this book worth the wait. There is little doubt that Dr. Cannon created a novel and much needed LORETA resource for the fields of electroencephalography (EEG / QEEG), neuroscience, and neurofeedback – in fact, this is the only known LORETA book available today.

Those new to LORETA software will find this to be an especially valuable book as Dr. Cannon provides a step-by-step navigation tutorial of the LORETA interface. Experienced LORETA practitioners will also enjoy the advanced topics and discussions that follow the introductory chapters. Readers will also appreciate the large size print (7″ x 10″) and full color images that facilitate easy readability and interpretation of the numerous LORETA brain map images and figures.

BreatheHeart, a state-of-the-art peripheral biofeedback device, allows you to monitor and train breathing and heart rate with the goal of synchrony and coherence of respiration, heart rate, and blood flow. This can facilitate improved autonomic balance (i.e., relaxation, mental clarity, etc.) and a meditative state of mind. In short, BreatheHeart takes you beyond traditional heart rate (HRV) biofeedback with its advanced, new metric: the valsalva wave.

Special Offer!
With your purchase of BreatheHeart, you receive free shipping, a free copy of the book, The New Science of Breath by Stephen Elliott, and a free 1-hour telephone tutorial session with the manufacturer!

What was your inspiration for writing this book?

I have always been interested in theory-driven QEEG, in contrast with data-driven QEEG where one only looks at mathematical correlations without theoretical models to guide interpretation. The Berlin psychiatry school of the EEG vigilance model especially has fascinated me since for more than 20 years. Similar dynamic ideas of global EEG spectrum changes have also been described in one study by Sterman in 1980, but have never been taken over in the neurofeedback field, which generally is still too data-driven. The goal of my book was to reawaken these early profound insights and to offer a broader perspective to the neurofeedback field which in my opinion is still lacking.

How did you come about with the discovery that children with ADHD have EEG patterns similar to healthy people who are sleep deprived?

It was already known before the DSM-III (1980) that sleep problems are often part of ADHD. In later decades, this has been ignored, and recently attracted renewed research interest. Besides that, sleep deprivation is known to create a “frontal like syndrome” similar to ADHD, and sleep deprivation was a model for decreased vigilance in the Berlin psychiatric school EEG vigilance model. This Berlin school model is not well known in the United States and has its roots in European neuropsychiatry (French – Henri Ey; British – John Hughlings Jackson and Henry Head).

What is the main message you hoped that readers would take from the book?

Neurofeedback should not be considered as a simplistic magic box where targeting specific frequencies in the EEG is a goal in itself. Understanding that it affects the global EEG spectrum and that this is related to “vigilance” in the stricter meaning of the organizational and integrational level of the CNS (necessary for optimal “state regulation”) will improve the general approach of the clinician who is using such tool as part of a global approach where neurofeedback is not just a magic tool, but is integrated in the wider view of ADHD as a vigilance and state regulation deficit disorder.

What is the future of neurofeedback for ADHD?

If the field goes on the way it is, it will get more and more marginal, and it will stay as an alternative, non-scientific therapy. But one should have the courage to make the choice to be accepted as a scientific therapy if one wants a real healthy future for the field.

What will take for neurofeedback to gain more mainstream acceptance?

[Those in the field of neurofeedback] should stop to make claims about a whole range of clinical conditions as indications for neurofeedback [treatment]. There are no serious studies about these various disorders, and, even more important in my opinion, one should first understand how in certain conditions EEG is a window into the pathophysiology of condition. In many disorders, we have to accept that EEG at best can show some interesting correlations in some clinical conditions, but when these are not reflecting basic pathophysiological elements of a condition, one cannot expect that training them will result in clinical improvements. And secondly, the field should be ready to understand not only QEEG data [i.e., data-driven approaches], but also [QEEG theoretical] models, such as the EEG vigilance model, to gain acceptance in the mainstream clinical EEG field.

This concludes this interview. I want to thank Dr. Van den Bergh for taking time to discuss his new book and remarkable insights into ADHD and neurofeedback. We hope that you have enjoyed this discussion.
