 Standard Deviation Effect Sizes * Dr. Thornton, author of 25 scientific articles, three book chapters, one book, four patents, and nominated for 5 awards and recipient of one, will be interviewed on a PBS special on Neuroscience out of Philadelphia this fall. Covered by some insurance companies has reported that EEG biofeedback can: 1) raise a child’s score on an IQ test, the single best predictor of success in life, 15 points (4 studies). 2) significantly improve auditory (80%) and reading memory scores (222%) in individuals with specific learning disabilities and significantly improve auditory Kirtley Thornton, PhD NC Lic. #4294 (105%) and reading memory (143%) in subjects with a history of traumatic brain injury and improve both groups to above normal levels when employing Dr. Thornton’s brain functioning model. 3) reduce impulsivity, inattention & hyperactivity and improve cognitive abilities of the autistic child. A recent MTA study concluded that medication and counseling were not effective in changing the symptoms of ADD/ADHD in an eight year follow up study. EEG biofeedback has consistently demonstrated significant and powerful changes in clinical groups and is currently recommended by six professional organizations for ADD/ADHD and other clinical conditions. DO YOU WANT THESE RESULTS FOR YOUR CHILD? I am currently conducting neuroscience research into children’s quantitative EEG response to cognitive challenges. I am looking for 5- to 10-year-old children without ADD/ADHD/learning problems/history of head injuries to be research subjects. The reimbursement is $25 for about 60-90 minutes of your time.
