       Peak Neurotraining Solutions
   Provide non-invasive, non-drug neurofeedback training for
    adults with TBI, PTSD, Bipolar and Anxiety & Stress
    disorders.
   EEG Neurotraining (NT) is complementary to CBT, helps
    improve cognitive function and titrates medication usage.
   Apply scientific advancements (using qEND) to normalize
    brain activity and objectively measure improvements in
    mental function and presenting behaviors.
   Experience includes a Gov’t Sponsored wellness program to
    improve stress, sleep and on-the-job performance of 1st
    Responders.
   Currently running a research study to investigate the use of
    NT among high-functioning children with Learning Problems.

    QEEG Assessment – TBI, PTSD, OCD
    Use Normative Statistics to Identify Imbalanced Brain Patterns
    Compare Abnormal Brain Systems with Behavioral Evaluations
    Establish a Treatment Plan to Normalize Brain Activity

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    Used in combination with Neurofeedback Training to
     provide each person with strategies that help them
     identify cognitive and behavioral issues in their life and
     develop methods to positively deal with these problems;
    Individual and Group counseling sessions are used to
     support the process of learning to desensitize traumatic
     events through conversations with peers;
    As brain patterns are normalized, the process is learned
     to minimize the memories of traumatic events by
     changing the memories themselves.

          The Neurotraining Solution
Neurotraining (NT) offers a proven treatment for brain injury using operant and
classical conditioning. NT retrains each patient’s brainwaves to fit a more
normal pattern using positive and negative reinforcement. NT is done within a
cognitive-behavioral learning environment.

                    Brainwaves are monitored by a trained technician as
                    patients watch a movie. Over time NT helps to redirect
                    their brain patterns to more closely match patterns found
                    in an age-matched healthy population (e.g., using a
                    Normative Database).


 As in all operant conditioning training, no conscious effort
 is required, but learning does play a part in long-term
 retention. The planned NT intervention includes 50 – 60
 half-hour sessions spread out over one year.
