HEG Training: First Iteration
Thresholds ON Carmen: .3 to 1 degree F manual thresholds
controlling DVD reward Toomim: 10 minute focused effort, 10% over
baseline controlling DVD reward

pIR
ADHD IVAs Group Setting (2-5 participants, some on
EEG) 18 months, 24 kids and some adults Name a Movie, Any Movie Comparable IVA increases and subjective
benefits
![Page 7: HEG Without (Vulgar) Behaviorism Greg Alter, Ph.D. September 7, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081821/56649e865503460f94b88ac1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
nIR
ADHD, Autism, Encephalopathy, Anxiety, OCD
Individual Sessions IVA, Microcog 1 year, mixed child and adult population Comparable IVA increases and subjective
benefits—one “failure,” one “sensitive”

Learning, Exercise, Communication Reinforcement Schedules in HEG are less
important than total time in practice Exercise=power + duration Rhythmicity of Practice More Important than
“Exercise” program—the Brain is actually not a “muscle.”

Well Exercised Brain
Efficiency More difficult to get increased blood flow or
temp than early in practice Novelty and prefrontal Just train harder?
![Page 10: HEG Without (Vulgar) Behaviorism Greg Alter, Ph.D. September 7, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081821/56649e865503460f94b88ac1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Sensitive Person
Labile emotions = labile blood flow/temp Reduced emotional lability corresponds to
better modulated temperature Effective practice leads to emotional
resilience in everyday life

Movies Don’t Work As Feedback Don’t fit idealized model of instrumental
reinforcement Activate prefrontal emissions passively Don’t require enough time making focused
efforts AND OUTCOMES ARE JUST AS GOOD!!! Is
this Behaviorism?!

With Both pIR and nIR HEG We Train Differently for Habituated Tasks vs Novel Tasks Motivation = task * person Task Valence Task Fractionation Sympathetic Activation Parasympathetic Activation

Turbulence Reduction
2nd order variability measures create the HEG Attention Index
Turbulence takes into account variations in rhythmicity from multiple sources
HEG practice modulates turbulence Modulation Practice fosters both
parasympathetic tone and executive function HRV and Dynamical EEG Correlates
Favoring Modulation vs Amplitude Increases
![Page 14: HEG Without (Vulgar) Behaviorism Greg Alter, Ph.D. September 7, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081821/56649e865503460f94b88ac1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Attention Index
History in HEG training: primary motive has been increase in HEG Ratio
Attention Index diminishes emphasis on HEG amplitude
Attention Index fosters focus on modulation and variability reduction: decreased turbulence
Net effect will be increased perfusion of hypoperfused areas and decreased hyperfusion
![Page 15: HEG Without (Vulgar) Behaviorism Greg Alter, Ph.D. September 7, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081821/56649e865503460f94b88ac1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Practice Implications
Threshold unnecessary but has its place Interpersonal effects on parasympathetic
tone Alternate cognitive with affective focus Alternate concentration with open focus Alternate habituated with novel tasks Alternate boring with affectively stimulating
tasks Movies work just fine!
