How to Make HEG Work
What is HEG ?
HEG is the study of Neurofeedback
controlled blood flow
Hemoencephalography (HEG)
1) HEG & fMRI live on blood oxygenation.
2) Oxygenated blood is red.
3) Deoxygenated blood is purple.
4) HEG looks at the brain to see its color.
5) Active brains are red.
6) Inactive brains are purple.
HEG light path through skull
It’s not dark in there.
–In the sunlight, if you were in there, you could read a newspaper by that light.
HEG Spectrophotometer
Where does HEG Work
HEG = Blood Flow =Angiogenesis
SPECT
Blood Flow Map
Yellow = Normal Flow
Blue = Very Low Flow
HEG or EEG
Learned ConditonsMaladaptive, Addictive, Dissociative,
Anxiety, PTSD, Brain States
Developmental Disorders,Injury
ADD/HD, Autism, Aspberger’s, Depression, TBI, Learning Disabled,
Dyslexia, Schizophrenia, Stroke
EEG
&
HEG
Angiogenesis
&Synaptogenesis.
What Matters?
Electrode placement ?
Protocols ?
Instruments ?
Frequencies ?
Therapist skill ?
What Matters ?
• Where we train• What we train• How much we train
Strangely !• Not much else.
Repetition of demands develops the Brain!
Repetition:
Learning = Synaptogenesis
Exercise = Angiogenesis
Do you like to read? T4-Fp1
• Do you recognize written words ?
• Is reading hard work ?• Do you reread sentences or
paragraphs ?
Broca’s Area T3
• Do your words sound right ?
• Is it the intended word ?
• Do you stumble over words ?

Impairment
Neurofeedback is a Brain Exercise
Exercise Repetition makes the difference
in
Angiogenesis and
Blood flow
Patient Gains vs HEG Sessions
Memory & DyslexiaAt 17 Heidi couldn’t read.
A word repeated many timeswas always a new word.
Her frequent reversals said no instead of on. When math changed from visual to conceptual, she was
lost. T5, F7, Fp1, Fpz, Fp2, F8, T5
Crutches F7-T3
• Do you use memory aids?
• Do make lists?
• Lists of lists?
• Do you forget why you entered a room
Where Train ?
The accessible brain
module contributing most to dysfunction
functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
• Oxygenated blood cells are not magnetic • Deoxygenated blood cells are magnetic• Intense radio magnetic field spins molecules• Molecules continue to spin after field is off• Radio receiver amplifies spinning signal • Computer makes picture slices from signal
That’s HEG neurofeedback working
