Critical Thinking Education — Is It More Effective than Censorship?
Every generation faces its own unique challenges. In the digital age of smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI), today’s students have to up their critical thinking game.
ADHD and How It’s Related to Sensory Processing Disorder
ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a widely — and often inaccurately — discussed topic. But how much do many folks know about sensory processing disorder (SPD)?
Common Symptoms of Anxiety in Teens
The most common mental health conditions in the world are anxiety disorders. This includes adolescents and teens. At first glance, you might think this has led to a dramatic increase in focus and awareness.
Helpful Ways to Manage ADHD without Medication
As awareness and testing increase, so do diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). At the same time, there has been an exponential rise in the number of people taking medications for this common condition.

What is Neurofeedback and Why Neural Networks ?
We are no strangers to the fact that naming a treatment option something like “qEEG-based swLoreta neurofeedback” might seem a little bit… intimidating. (Not to mention the electrode-laden skullcaps and the soft needle syringe full of goo.)
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and q EEG based swLORETA Neurofeedback Training
It likely comes as no surprise that what medicine calls “mild traumatic brain injury” (or mTBI, colloquially known as a concussion) are quite common. In fact, some of the people reading this are likely to have experienced at least one mTBI that they were never even aware of, given how common it is for such injuries to go unreported

Sensory Processing and Emotional Regulation
Many of us think that perception and behavior are two separate things and that processing stimuli and their parameters, such as intensity, speed, etc. has to do with cognition alone. But whether we are aware of it or not, what we perceive can have a considerable impact on our emotions, leading to an array of responses which in turn affect our behavior.
