and
The Attention Learning Centerwere featured - 11/10/08- talking about about
teenage drug use; and 10/8/08 - demonstrating first
hand new cutting edge techniques in the
diagnosis and treatment of ADD/ADHD &
ASD.
Chris Kamen, the center of the
L.A. Clippers was recently interviewed on ESPN about his
experiences using Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback). Chris reports
that he thinks he was incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD, since his
EEG brainwave pattern was not the common ADHD pattern of High
Theta (daydream) and Low Beta (alertness) brainwaves.
Many individuals begin with a QEEG Map test to determine the
exact brain imbalance location and to select the most successful
protocols for Neurofeedback. A QEEG Map test, if used, could
have helped Chris discover which of the 4 subtypes of ADHD he
actually has, which probably includes a high Beta type (busy
brain).
Chris chose Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback) as a treatment to
lower his high Beta and improve his attention and focus to
achieve more consistency in his on-the-court performances.
Neurofeedback has been used for more than 30 years with
individuals with ADHD to improve attention/focus, hyperactivity
and impulsivity; and decrease overfocus and anxiety. More
recently, numerous athletes, professional and Olympic teams have
been using Neurofeedback to eliminate obstacles to achieving
peak performance states and gain more frequent control of and
access to the “zone”.
Mission Psychological Consultants (MPC) and The Attention
Performance Center offer Neurofeedback both for ADHD/related conditions
and for athletes. MPC Drs.

have worked with Ben a number of times. His biofeedback
technique has helped me learn how to relax on the golf
course. It is very important to learn how to control your
emotions when you are in a tournament. Ben has taught me how
proper breathing can improve your performance. I have been a
