Echoes of Brave New World. BBRRRRRrrrrrr.

This sounds too good to be true, and as the saying goes, that means it probably is. More techy than waving a finger in front of the patient(EMDR,) one can only hope there is a valid response here. PTSD is a plague on the veteran population as well as many others.

The worrying thing is that if this is touted as a solution for all kinds of psychopathology then that likely means it is a placebo effect. Nothing cures everything.

Why do some insist on arguing with success. Dr. Jerry Wesch, the officer in charge of the PTSD recovery program at Fort Hood — where Roberts underwent treatment — was so astounded by neurofeedback’s results that he personally spent several thousand dollars to order neurofeedback equipment for the base.

Whatever helps our military helps America. Thank you Dr. Wesch.

Practitioners of neurofeedback theorize that the brain, in seeing its own activity, will be spurred to repair its own defects and operate more optimally.

That is very similar to the effect of tantric meditation except that the mind is what is observed not the brain. The mind is not considered the same thing as the brain or a product of the brain. The brain is simply considered the controller of the body.

By consistent non-judgmental observation of the mind you begin to see the root of habitual behaviors and their consequences. Seeing that dropping negative behaviors becomes almost automatic. No effort or intent to change is required.
