SOME ARTICLES ON HEG

HEG TALK 1: A Conceptual Introduction to HEG
By Hershel Toomim, Sci.D.
 
Intentional Increase of Cerebral Blood Oxygenation Using Hemoencephalography (HEG): An Efficient Brain Exercise Therapy
By Hershel Toomim et al.
  • Studied effects of 10 sessions of HEG on TOVA impulsivity scores for 28 subjects with various diagnoses.
  • Subjects gained an average of 12.7% on the TOVA impulsivity sub-test.
  • Low-scorers gained more (26.8% vs 2.5%).
  • TOVA gains were correlated with corresponding HEG gains (r = 0.746, p < .001).
Hemoencephalography: An additional treatment for autism
By Penkhae Limsila M.D., M.Sc. et al. (Scanned images; 2.9MB)
  • Largest HEG study done to date: studied 180 autistic children in Thailand.
  • After 40 sessions, the cohort's mean HEG readings increased 53%.
  • Of the 81 subjects who were studying in public school, 86% increased their GPA by more than 0.5 (mean = 0.94) points on a 4-point scale.
  • Only 4% decreased their GPA by more than 0.5 points (mean = 0.57).
  • Contains one sample subject's report and two sample parent's reports.
Near infrared Hemoencephalography for Right Frontal Dysfunction (Powerpoint presentation converted to HTML)
By Robert Coben, Ph.D., BCIA EEG, D-QEEG
  • 20 sessions of HEG on 18 subjects with various disorders.
  • Significant trends (d > .5 and p < .1) on 11 different measures.
  • NBAP depression index decreased by 2.2 standard deviations (p <  .001).
  • 89% of subjects clinically improved.
  • Infrared thermography of results.
Neurofeedback using Hemoencephalography: An Additional Treatment for Autism and A.D.D. (Powerpoint presentation converted to HTML)
By Penkhae Limsila M.D., M.Sc.
  • About 65% Thai, 35% English.
  • Good background information and illustrations of brain systems implicated in autism and ADD.
  • Pretty pictures of cute kids.
Anxiety, Anger, Depression, TBI, and HEG
By Hershel Toomim and Robert Joneson
  • Discussion of four case studies involving anxiety and one case study involving traumatic brain injury.
  • Discussion of neural pathways of emotional regulation.
