Drs. Lynda and Michael Thompson are also co-authors of two software suites available through the Biofeedback Federation of Europe. Their suites - "Setting Up for Clinical Success" and "Specialized Application Scripts" - give a helping-hand to any therapist looking to advance client care with bio/neurofeedback. The software, compatible with the BioGraph Infiniti System, includes an in-depth collection of screens and scripts for a wide spectrum of client disorders and needs. The Thompsons' design and methods extend to ADD/ADHD, Aspergers, autism, anxiety, depression, optimal performance training, seizures, stress, traumatic brain injury (concussion) and more. Each display arranges different relevant physiology and EEG bandwidth statistics, such that every individual possible requirement for clinical treatment is covered within the whole suite. The "Setting Up For Clinical Success" suite provides all the display screens for independent training, while the "Specialized Application Scripts" suite provides pre-defined 20-to-30 minute long protocols for training ADD/ADHD, seizures, Aspergers, dyslexia, depression and optimal performance.
