ABSTRACT

The path from earlier standard protocols to the individualized Infra-Low-Frequency training (ILF) was and still is an empirical process, guided by clinical effectiveness based on individual within-session and inter-session feedback from the client. This chapter will focus on modern, individualized Neurofeedback training. The chapter explains ILF training with emphasis on clinical and practical aspects. Along with the development of the new training methods, there is an acknowledgement and explanation of how proven older methods can be effectively combined with ILF training. The chapter ends with descriptions of how 2 Channel Sum applications, like classical Alpha-Theta and Synchrony training, can be integrated into the overall treatment plan.

Chapter 2 has detailed how clinical Neurofeedback evolved over the last 30 years, and how we arrived at the modern, individualized Neurofeedback training methods that initially evolved out of the pioneering clinical work at the EEG Institute in Los Angeles, under the clinical guidance of Sue Othmer. This chapter focuses on the practical and tactical aspects of how the Infra-Low Frequency (ILF) Neurofeedback training below 0.1 Hz is used in a clinical setting. The chapter concludes with a look at how the ILF differential training may be combined with other 2 Channel Sum training modalities such as Alpha-Theta and Synchrony training for best clinical outcomes.
