Symposium Title: EEG and NFT: COVID-19 Brain Assessment Tool (qEEG) and Neurofeedback Training as a Treatment Tool for ADHD & Trauma

Abstract

This symposium is divided into three parts. The first focuses on quantitative EEG (qEEG) as an assessment tool to identify brain activities and regions that were affected by COVID-19 and correlate them with neuroinflammatory effects. Preliminary cases studies with patients post COVID-19 exposure as well as non-exposed neurotypical cases experiencing the neuroinflammatory effects of the COVID vaccination will be presented and reviewed. The next two presentations focuses on the use of EEG as a treatment tool for Neurofeedback training (NFT). One presentation shows that the NFT “package” significantly reduced over time symptoms in children with ADHD in a large-scale double-blind sham-controlled study. The second shows that NFT significantly reduced PTSD symptoms as well as improving executive functioning condition on children and adults with developmental trauma. In addition, NFT improved behavioral symptoms of the children with developmental trauma.
