This is the first chapter of the 3rd edition of “INTRODUCTION TO QUANTITATIVE EEG AND NEUROFEEDBACK”. The authors were asked to document a new application of EEG by describing how gamma wave asymmetry in the prefrontal cortex can be used to help individuals expose and address implicit memories, biases, addictions, emotional states and even better understand approach-avoidance in our decisions. These new protocols provide real time brain visualization of decision making, thus opening the door to greater self-awareness and ultimately improved self-regulation. This PDF includes the complete table of content. As a result, the first chapter may be found starting on the 21st page.

In the paper ‘Response Process Validation Protocol Using Neurophenomenological Gamma Asymmetry’, the research team explains the process TTI SI uses to observe the brain’s reaction to reading and answering questions during an assessment.

In this report, we integrate the principles described in Part 1 and describe an operational model for emotional decision-making that incorporates brain activation data along with subjective experience correlates. This model takes the form of a state machine that carries out transitions between a finite set of 16 possible states of emotional and decision-making response. By considering a 4×4 grid of possible states based upon left and right activation, in primary (sensation) and secondary (perception/comprehension) response, the range of responses is completely specified. The transition probabilities within this repertoire of possible response states can be used to characterize an individual (or any system) in terms of its likelihood to respond in a particular fashion. The possible value of this model in psychiatry, psychology, and counseling is introduced and discussed.

In Part 1 of this paper, we describe an approach and methodology that bridges two worlds: the internal, subjective experience of emotions and thoughts, and the external world of brain electrical activity. Using a novel event-related brain activation imaging method, we demonstrate that within single trials, short-term mental processes, on the order of 100 msec, can be clearly related to observed brain activation in controlled experiments. We use an ipsative assessment validation process that combines self-report with real-time EEG recordings to provide a combined picture of both the mental and the brain activity, during short-term reactions, emotions, and decisions regarding controlled information. Part 2 provides a detailed description of the emerging emotional decision-making model.
