Abstract
The dominant brain wave frequencies of a patient are measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG) with a plurality of leads over the head and scalp. In a process for low energy neuro-feedback, the therapeutically beneficial low power RF field is sequentially applied via the same at a different frequency, which is generally offset from the dominant frequency by 5 to 20 Hz. The order of applying these low power stimuli to the different leads is optimized based on the activity observed at each lead and its variation over time. Leads positions having a greater Coefficient of Variation are treated first.
