2. EEG Neuronal Synchrony Connectivity
Local versus Distance communication
Brain Homeostasis
Wide range of training paradigms

3. DC/SCP Primarily Glial Activity Some neuronal IPSP, EPSP contribution
Overall Activation
Correlation with level of Consciousness
Trained for epilepsy, ADD, BCI

4. Peripheral Measures Temperature Heart Rate – HRV Respiratory Effort
Skin Conductance Response
EMG

5. Relevant Mechanisms Sympathetic / Parasympathetic
Concentration / Relaxation
Levels of Meditation
Levels of Deep States

6. Training Paradigms Use 2 to bridge mind and body
Cade, Wise: EEG monitoring + SCR
Use breathing as precursor to NF
Freeze Framer, Wild Divine
Use temp training as introduction to self-regulation

7. Example: EEG Alpha + HRV
(a) Reward bursts of alpha with sound / video
(b) Reward HRV resonance on exhalations with sound
Extra Reward when (a) and (b) coincide

8. EEG – Alpha Training

9. HRV – Resonant Breathing

10. Combined EEG / HRV Protocol

11. Inhalation

12. Exhalation

13. Example: DC/SCP Training
F3: Approach, engagement, interest
F4: Withdrawal, apprehension, disinterest
P3: Language processing, integration with self, logical reasoning and memory
P4: Image processing, integration with environment, spatial reasoning and memory

14. 4-channel DC/SCP Training

15. F3 F4 P3 P4 DC/SCP

16. F3 and F4 DC/SCP

17. F3 vs. P3 DC/SCP

18. DC and Theta Together
