I was asked a question by someone who was in a discussion about the internet and its influence on our brains. Specifically, they were talking about whether there is any truth to some recent work showing that the internet, and how we (you, your children) are using it, is making us dumber. So the question posed to me was.... Wondering if you have any thoughts/insights on the changing nature of the brain, with increased internet commnunications, and the prevalence of tools like Google to locate information? My answer was: Dr. Karen 2008-09-25T15:18:59-04:00 http://neurofeedback.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2006/12/14/2569255.html There you are....wearing a tiny infrared camera on your head, intently watching a screen with a readout of the temperature of your brain, trying to make it go up. You're hoping it will help your migraines melt, your panic attacks retreat, your attention focus, or your mood stabilize in a good place. But what does it actually Feel Like?

Even without a formal diagnosis of some kind, how many times have you felt you weren't paying adequate attention, weren't focused enough, didn't follow-through in ways you would like? The following article, from the Science Daily website, gives some current information about ADHD in adults and describes a bit about the use of neurofeedback as an alternative to medications.
