Intentional Increase of Cerebral Blood Oxygenation Using Hemoencephalography (HEG): An Efficient Brain Exercise Therapy

Hemoencephalography–A New Therapy for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Case Report

“…Toomim et al (2004) found that clients as a group improved TOVA™ impulsivity scores 12% following 10 sessions of HEG therapy. I am pleased to report similar gains in this paper, demonstrated for the attention domain measured by the IVA in a single client serving as his own control.…”

“…Most subjects are able to produce regu-lar brief increases in the signal with a minimum of training. Toomim et al (2004) in a study of 28 clients reported routine session gains of about 10% in a given 10-minute segment (based on the initial segment definition of gain), indicating general success in consistently improving the HEG signal strength during a therapy session. The performance of a client during training sessions typically waxes and wanes, but most sustain a positive change for the majority of time in a session.…”

Inshigts in EEG Versus HEG and RT-FMRI Neuro Feedback Training for Cognition Enhancement

“…For instance, slow corticalpotential neurofeedback (SCP-NF) improves the direction of slow cortical potentials to treat ADHD, epilepsy, and migraines [8]. Additionally, low energy neurofeedback system (LENS)supplies a weak electromagnetic signal to alter the patient's brain waves while they aremotionless with their eyes closed.…”

“…HEG neurofeedback training method includes NIR (near infrared) and PIR (passive infrared) techniques. Specifically, near-infrared HEG is designed to measure changes in oxygen levels within the blood and passive infrared HEG incorporates with the measurement of cortical heat and blood oxygen levels [8].…”

“…Specifically, after only ten 30-minute sessions of HEG brain exercise training, participants facing several neurological disorders showed increases in attention and decreases in impulsivity to within normal levels [8].…”
