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.

Brain wave pattern refocusing (biofeedback) is fairly old hat. The older apparatus for this would simply emit a pleasant beep when the recommended state was achieved. Patients who used it reported feeling better. Are these new enhancements helpful? Let clinical tests ferret out the facts.

Nothing cures everything.

I know how you mean that but do you realize there is another correct interpretation? I assume you mean "There is nothing that cures everything." Then there is "Nothing (the absence of all things) cures everything (the presence of all things.)." The absence of "all things" cures the presence of "all things".

Oh, well. It's late.
