ABSTRACT
A modified version of the alpha-theta protocol has been developed for the purpose of demonstrating the therapeutic power of neurofeedback. Neurofeedback demonstration has a different goal from that of therapy in that here the objective is educating the client at a personal level rather than modifying the client. A portable neurofeedback workstation using only audio feedback used in conjunction with this alpha-theta protocol enables an unfamiliar client to experience a single session of neurofeedback and understand what is to them a completely new approach for growth and healing.
Neuronal regulation is poorly understood in the general population and because of this it is difficult to educate people about of the benefits of neurofeedback. One of the most effective forms of education combines explanation and demonstration. This chapter describes the tools and methods I use to introduce neurofeedback to interested strangers who come to a free clinic that is hosted in an open community space. This program engages both healthcare professionals and the lay public.
