Q

Who is responsible for developing the 10/20 international system and when was it developed?

A

Herbert H. Jasper in 1958

32
Q

Who carried out a series of dramatic animal experiments in the 1960’s which demonstrated the possibility of operant conditioning with a variety of internal autonomically regulated physiologic processes, including: blood pressure, cardiac function, and intestinal activity?

A

Neal Miller & Leo DeCara

33
Q

Whose research first demonstrated that individuals could learn to consciously identify when they were producing alpha and gain conscious control over their brainwaves which was previously thought to be an involuntary process?

A

Joe Kamiya

34
Q

Who was Joe Hart?

A

Student of Joe Kamiya who presented first paper on Kamiya’s research.

35
Q

Who was Thomas Budzynski?

A

In the early 1970s, he developed the Twilight Learner in collaboration with John Picchiottino, one of the first neurotherapy systems. He became the first person to use alpha training for systematic desensitization. (He used a modest 60% increase in alpha to obtain results.) He was also one of the early researchers looking into the effect of audio-visual entrainment on the brain.

36
Q

Who co-developed z-score training?

A

Tom Collura and Robert Thatcher

37
Q

Who developed the LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System), which utilizes photic glasses?

A

Len Ochs

38
Q

What three persons are most associated with the neuropsychological arousal model?

A

Barry Sterman, Joel Lubar, and Margaret Ayers

39
Q

Kamiya’s work showed that increases in alpha wave production resulted in a decrease of what particular symptoms?

A

State and Trait Anxiety

40
Q

Who developed the first qEEG-based topographic maps based on normative databases?

A

Frank Duffy

41
Q

Who was the first to develop a usable normative database?
