Neurofeedback as Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder-MOK wahedi
ABSTRACT
Background
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder and symptoms are considered to be due to brain deregulation and dysfunction in multiple regions of the brain. There is no cure for autism and the management guidelines are defined to reduce the symptoms and reinstitute normal functioning in life. Neurofeedback is one of these methods in treating children with Autism. Several studies have shown that individuals with autism are able to alter their brain activity in specific frequency bands through the use of neurofeedback which induces prolong changes in autism symptoms, cognitive functioning and long-term changes in EEG. Neurofeedback is a way of training the brain to use more productive patterns of brainwaves which teaches the brain to self-regulate, strengthening neural pathways while increasing mental endurance and flexibility
Objective
To observe the effect of Neurofeedback Treatment in Children with ASD in areas of speech, language, communication, sociability, sensory ,cognitive awareness, health, physical and behaviors
Methods and Materials
It is a descriptive longitudinal study with purposive sampling done from January 2018 to March 2020 among children diagnosed with ASD who underwent Neurofeedback training for at least 80 sessions. 70% were boys 30% were girls. Assessment was done by Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21
Result
The study showed Improvements in all ATEC Evaluation Categories in Speech, Language, and communication39.1%, Sociability53.7%, Sensory and Cognitive awareness56.8%, and in Health, Physical, and Behaviors58%
Conclusion
The study shows marked improvement in all 4 specific Areas of evaluation of ATEC after Neurofeedback training of children with Autism. Since Autism has no specific cure and neurofeedback has its efficacy without any untoward effects may be used as a treatment option for Autism

Neurofeedback (NF) is a technique of self-regulation, the current parameters of EEG recorded from a subject’s head are presented to the subject through visual, auditory, or tactile modality, where the subject is supposed to voluntary or involuntarily alter these parameters to reach a more efficient mode of brain functioning.
In the late 1960s and 1970s, researchers discovered that it was possible to recondition, retrain or learn different brainwave patterns.
Some of this work began with training to increase alpha brainwave activity to increase relaxation, while other work originating at UCLA focused on uncontrolled epilepsy.
This brainwave training is called
Neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback

EEG stands for “electroencephalography” which is an electrophysiological process to record the electrical activity of the brain.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of brain activity.
EEG measures changes in the electrical activity produced by the brain.
Voltage changes come from ionic current within and between brain cells called neurons.
The electrodes of an EEG device capture electrical activity expressed in various EEG frequencies using an algorithm called a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), these raw EEG signals can be identified as distinct waves with different frequencies.
Frequency, which refers to the speed of the electrical oscillations, is measured in cycles per second — one Hertz (Hz) is equal to one cycle per second.
Brainwaves are categorized by frequency into four main types: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta.
Quantitative
igital processing of EEG signals consists of different components: signal acquisition unit, feature extraction unit, and a decision algorithm.
The input to the system is an EEG signal acquired from the scalp, brain surface, or brain interior. The signal acquisition unit is represented by electrodes whether they are invasive or non-invasive.
The feature extraction unit is a signal processing unit aiming to extract discriminative features from channel(s).
The decision unit, in brain computer interface (BCI) for example, is a hybrid unit with the purpose of classification, decision-making, and passing the decisions to external devices outputting the intention of the subject.
Electroencephalography (qEEG) is a procedure that processes the recorded EEG activity from a multi-electrode recording using a computer.
This multi-channel EEG data is processed with various algorithms, such as the “Fourier” classically, or in more modern applications “Wavelet” analysis.
The digital data is statistically analyzed, sometimes comparing values with “normative” database reference values.
The processed EEG is commonly converted into color maps of brain functioning called “Brain maps”.
Quantitative EEG (qEEG) is the analysis of the digitized EEG, and in lay terms this sometimes is also called “Brain Mapping”.
In Neurofeedback (NF) the current parameters of EEG recorded from a subject’s head is presented to the subject through visual, auditory, or tactile modality, where the subject alters these parameters to reach a more efficient mode of brain functioning.
Over the last 40 years, neurofeedback has been used to treat various neurological and psychiatric conditions, and to improve cognitive function in various contexts.
Neurofeedback therapy consists of one session in a week with an average of 20 sessions. Some people may need fewer sessions while some might need more, depending upon the problem.
The human brain is the most important organ of the human body, that regulates the proper functioning, reflexes, and total brainwave activity. Most people have a normal functioning brain, even those people have several imbalances or chronic emotions that can hit on their daily day to day life. This is where neurofeedback therapy can help.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

2/17/2014 For Release: February 17, 2014
Neurofeedback, a type of training using a computer
program for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), can contribute to lasting improvements for
these children, according to a study in the March 2014 issue of
Pediatrics, “In-School NeurofeedbackTraining for ADHD:
Sustained Improvement From a Randomized Control Trial,”
published online Feb. 17.
4. CONCLUSIONS: Neurofeedback participants made more
prompt and greater improvements in ADHD symptoms,
which were sustained at the 6-month follow-up, than did
CT participants or those in the control group. This finding
suggests that neurofeedback is a promising attention
training treatment for children with ADHD.

5. Neurofeedback (also called
Neurotherapy or EEG biofeedback) is a
way of training the brain to use more
productive patterns of brainwaves.
Neurofeedback is direct training of
brain function by which the brain learns
to function more efficiently.
What is Neurofeedback ?
6. It is the voluntary regulation of brain activity e.g.
arousal sleep/wake cycle, cognitive process, sensory
information, motor responses , mood and emotions,
memory etc.
It is a non-invasive treatment, which teaches the
brain to self-regulate, strengthening neural pathways
increasing mental endurance and flexibility.
What is Neurofeedback ?
7. When we become aware of our own brain
activity – we can also change it .
When we are aware of Breathing,
Heart rate, Muscle tension
- we can change it.
8. Changing brain activity is a type
of brain exercise
Neurofeedback is the computer
based Brain exercise to improve
its own regulation

17. Within every human brain can be found different types of
brainwave patterns.
Several types of brainwaves are present at any given time, but
each brain area has a predominant pattern reflective of the
current mental state.
These patterns can be measured and recorded by an
electroencephalogram (EEG), which can then be used to make
a ‘map’ of an individual’s mental function.
Basis of Neurofeedback
18. Beta waves: These are fast waves which occur when an individual is
attentive and focused.
SMR waves: These are a subcategory of beta waves and are found in the
sensorimotor cortex when a person is quietly focused to prepare for a
physical challenge.
Alpha waves: These are slower brainwaves which are commonly found
during relaxation. Alpha waves indicate the brain is ‘idling’
Theta waves: These waves are slower than alpha and occur when an
individual is daydreaming or almost at the point of falling asleep.
Delta waves: These are the slowest brain waves which occur during deep
sleep.
The five types of brain wave patterns
20. Excesses or deficits of certain brainwaves in
different brain areas usually indicate a problem in
mental functioning.
Distinctive patterns are found in individuals with
problems such as ADHD, ASD, Learning
disorder ,Depression and Anxiety etc.

21. Distributions of Brain Wave in Disorders
LD often appears as posterior
elevated delta
ADHD often appears as elevated
frontal theta
Depression often appears as
elevated central or frontal alpha
Anxiety often appears as
elevated frontal beta often in
conjunction with diminished
alpha
Depression often also appears as
more slowing on the left, while
anxiety appears as increased
activity on the right
22. Basis of Neurofeedback
Changing the EEG, brain waves
improves the brain regulation
When the brain works better, the
individual functions better
23. ADHD often appears as elevated frontal
theta and the theta beta ratio is higher.
Neurofeedback targets to reduce
frontal theta and the theta beta ratio.
Neurofeedback protocol: ADHD
24. In a typical Neurofeedback session a client sits in front of a
computer screen.
an electrode placed on the trainee’s head, with one or more
sensors positioned depending on the training protocol
enabling the computer to read the trainee’s brainwave
activity.
The protocol means which frequency to be rewarded and which to
be inhibited, area of the brain to be trained.
The frequencies targeted , and the specific locations on the
scalp listened in on the brain, are specific to the conditions
trying to address, and specific to the individual.
How Neurofeedback work?
25.
26. The trainee is instructed to watch on a computer screen and
make a game work.
The video display on the computer will work while the
correct patterns of brainwaves are detected, and will stop or
fade if the unproductive patterns are being used.
In this way, trainee’s brainwave activity, of which they are
usually unaware, becomes ‘visible’ to them.
Gradually, learning of new brainwave patterns takes place –
one which is closer to that normally observed in individuals
without the problem.
How does Neurofeedback work?
28. With repeated practice sessions, trainees become
more readily able to produce "healthier" brainwaves,
alleviating their symptoms.
Once learned and solidified in training, the ability to
access these productive patterns of brain activity
generalises to everyday life, with changes in most
cases being permanent.
How does Neurofeedback work?
29. The good news is that almost any
brain, regardless of its level of
function, can be trained to function
better.
Neurofeedback
30. Studies of Neurofeedback
and ADHD
Several uncontrolled studies showed that
neurofeedback:
Improved attentiveness and impulse control
Decreased hyperactivity
Raised intelligence scores
Improved academic performance
(Grein-Yatsenko et al., 2001; Lubar, Swartwood,
Swartwood & O’Donnell, 1995; Thompson &
Thompson, 1998)
31. Controlled studies comparing
neurofeedback to other treatments for
ADHD
Alhambra, Fowler and Alhambra (1995):
After 30 sessions of neurofeedback, 16 of 24 patients
taking medications were able to lower their dose or
discontinue medications totally
Monastra, Monastra and George (2002)
studied 100 children with ADHD receiving Ritalin,
parent counseling and academic support. 50 children
also received neurofeedback.
While all children improved on the TOVA and an
ADD evaluation scale while taking Ritalin, only those
who had EEG biofeedback sustained those
improvements after discontinuing Ritalin.
32. Studies of Neurofeedback and
ADHD (continued)
The most study, in China (Xiong, Shi and Xu, 2005):
60 ADHD children studied
40 sessions of neurofeedback
Over 90% significantly improved their scores on the
IVA-CPT (Integrated Visual and Auditory
Continuous Performance Test)
33. Studies of Neurofeedback for Autistic
Spectrum Disorders
12 children receiving an average of 36
sessions of neurofeedback based on
functional deficits reduced autistic symptoms
by 26% (Jarusiewicz, 2002)
37 children receiving 20 sessions of QEEG-
guided neurofeedback showed a 40%
decrease in autistic symptoms compared to a
control group (Coben and Padolsky, 2007)
34. A Meta-Analysis of 19 Studies of EEG
Biofeedback for Epilepsy
(Sterman MB, 2000)
82% of studies demonstrated significant seizure
reduction
Average reduction exceeded 50%
Studies reported reduction in seizure severity
About 5% of patients had complete control at one
year follow-up
35. QEEG-guided Neurofeedback
for Seizure Disorders
Johnathan Walker, MD “trains away” QEEG-
identified abnormalities of power (amplitude) and
coherence and reports a 100% success rate in
patients with partial complex seizures
All patients became seizure free and many were able
to stop their anticonvulsant treatment (Walker and
Kozlowski, 2005)
36. Studies of Neurofeedback for
Traumatic Brain Injury
Neurofeedback appears to improve memory in
persons with brain injury (Thornton, 2000).
Neurofeedback improves attention and response
accuracy of a performance task and decreases errors
in a problem solving task (Tinius & Tinius, 2000).
Another study showed significant improvement in
attention deficits in those receiving neurofeedback
compared to a matched control group (Keller, 2001).
37. Clinical Reports - Depression
Cory Hammond, Ph.D., Professor of Physical
Medicine & Rehabilitation,
University of Utah School of Medicine:
Treated 25 patients with moderate to severe
depressive disorder
Reduced left frontal alpha and increased 12-
20hz. Also utilized photic stimulation
Sustained remission of the depression in all
25 patients in 20- 25 sessions
All reduced or discontinued medication
38. Remember
The function of your brain
determines your level of
consciousness and your
experience of the world.
YOU are not your brain, not a
product of its collective
function nor its learned and
habitually expressed patterns
of behavior—these will
change over time.
You should be running your
brain, not the other way
round!
