London, England (PRWEB) May 19, 2014 -- On Tuesday, May 27th, Dr. Paul G. Swingle will discuss the hot topic of "Internet Addiction" in a webinar hosted by the Biofeedback Federation of Europe.

There are parallels that can be drawn between internet addiction (and by extension tablets and smartphones) and other addictive behaviors.

Post this

Technology has changed the way we live - we literally have the world at our fingertips. Our devices give us access to an endless stream of diversions, but at what potential cost? And, at what point does internet use become problematic? According to Dr. Paul Swingle, "There are parallels that can be drawn between internet addiction (and by extension tablets and smartphones) and other addictive behaviors. For instance, if you try to take a device away from a child, they react the same way as when you try to take a needle from an addict. There are similarities in the brain's architecture with all types of addictions. The brain tells us everything."

Dr. Paul G. Swingle, has long held the belief that neurofeedback is a powerful tool with enormous potential. In his Vancouver clinic, he uses neurotherapy as a part of the treatment for a wide range of disorders as well as with clients who just want to perform better at work, on stage or at a sport. His ClinicalQ is an EEG assessment that measures brain activity at five critical locations. The results of the assessment are then compared to a clinical database that is remarkably accurate in terms of indicating why a person is seeking counselling. The software is available through the BFE

After the initial assessment, the BFE ClinicalQ and BrainDryvr software (available through the BFE), generates a report that interprets the (EEG) data and flags values that are outside of the norms based on Dr. Swingle's clinical database. The report also provides guidance on how to use Dr. Swingle's braindriving method to optimize EEG features based on the report. Stimuli used in the braindriving protocols include specific combinations of vetted tones, harmonics and images. According to Dr. Swingle, one of the best things about neurotherapy is, "It marries well with other kinds of therapy whether it's experiential, EMDR, cognitive behaviour and so forth. Once the brain is functioning more efficiently, then it just markedly enhances the efficacy of these other procedures."

This is the second webinar in a four-part series. The remaining topics are, "Is it Really ADHD?" and "Keeping Mentally Sharp While You Age".
