PROTOCOLS
The Peniston protocol is adapted as one of our research-based protocols. It uses PHASE 1: Hand Warming before feedback.
Peniston, E.G.; Kulkosky, P.J. Alpha Theta brainwave training and beta-endorphin levels in alcoholics. Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research 1989, 13(2), 271-279.
The Scott-Kaiser--Othmer-Sideroff protocol This article by Scott-Kaiser--Othmer-Sideroff outlines a different efficacy-based clinical- research protocol also adapted as on of our protocols.
It emphasizes the requirement for pre- and post-testing, and the use of PHASE 1: EEG training for innatentive and impulsive types.

ClassicAlpha - Theta Neurofeedback:
Crossover Training
Uses one single EEG site.
Uses time-tested protocols based on classic neurofeedback research.
Add or modify protocols.

J&Js Alpha Theta Trainer is very flexible.
It of course follows the classic Peniston protocol.
In addition it comes preprogrammed with other research-based protocols.
It also allows you to adjust and save minor variations in protocol as needed.
As a J&J bonus, because our instrument does more that EEG, it detects peripheral arousal: Respiration, Temperature and Skin Conductance.
This allows you to directly train Penniston's hand warming and/ordetect arousal during EEG training.

EVIDENCE-BASED NEUROTHERAPY:
ALPHA/THETA CROSSOVER -GUIDED DESENSITIZATION
J&Js 'Alpha-Theta' program provides clinicians with computer-aided protocols to generate brain wave changes that facilitate deep relaxation and desensitization.
NOTE: Alpha Theta Training is done in stages. It requires prior scripting of addiction- and/or traumatic stimuli, and close supervision during desensitization.
It also requires prior training in calming. Calming is trained either with hand-warming/breathing and/or SMR or Beta training.

HISTORICAL NOTE: WHY TEMP AND SC IN NEUROFEEDBACK?
J&Js Alpha theta Protocols include detection of hand temperature and SC. Peniston of course used hand warming preceding neurotherapy. Long before Peniston's protocol neurofeedback pioneer D.A. Quirk integrated both. Here is his story:
"In 1974 the pioneer Canadian psychologist (holding Registration #1 as a registered psychologist D.A. Quirk heard a presentation by Sterman and discussed with him the method. Quirk immediately conferred with his colleague, G.von Hilsheimer, Director of the Green Valley Psychiatric Hospital in Orange City Florida. Quirk and von Hilsheimer began applying EEG biofeedback, training the amplitude of 4-7 Hz (theta)down, whilst training the amplitude of 13-14 Hz (sensori-motor) up over the Fissure of Roland (Ten-20 locations C-3 and C-4). From 1974 until his retirement in 1995 Quirk trained 2700 felons incarcerated at the Ontario Correctional Institute near Toronto using temperature at the left ring finger, skin conductance (palm to palm), and EEG detected at Ten-20 sites C-3 and C-4.[The three year recidivism rate for these felons was 15%, which compares well to the range of 40-70% widely reported in the correction literature.
