Re: Dopamine Theta & Balancing Act Questions

[Anonymous]

You said that there is no clear evidence that brain waves, specifically theta waves are the basis of ADHD. So I am asking can a person concentrate for any length of time without the ability to generate and sustain their brain waves in the high alpha, beta range? It seems to me that these brain waves are a necessary part of concentration. Tibetan monks are good at this.

I am not saying neurofeedback works either. Neurofeedback as I understand it involves the use of a EEG device with wires attached to the subjects head. The recipient on his own has to learn how to harness the correct brain waves through the use of an on screen monitor. Each person has to develop their own strategy by trial and error. Yah and what if you can’t do it? Then the next step is to blame the patient.

Why use an expensive EEG device if you can do the same thing by juggling or balancing a pole on the end of your finger for free. You don’t even need to know how harness the correct brain waves. It is done automatically. I don’t think the sellers of these devices would like the public to know this.

Don’t misunderstand me I am not saying that one should go out and practice juggling to cure their ADD. I am just bringing this up as a subject up for discussion and exploration.
