Research – Part 1: Improving the Brain with Brain Mapping


Analyzing Brain Injury

As Relating to Memory Loss

Dr. Corydon Hammond, Professor, Psychologist, and Clinical Psychophysiologist in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Utah School of Medicine, states that,

“In recent years, the consequences of brain injuries have been recognized.

Usually, persons with a head injury have CAT scans or MRI’s which often don’t reveal organic damage since

they look at the structure of the brain and NOT at how the brain functions.


As a result, accident victims were often not taken seriously and accused of fabricating their symptoms. However, more recently, tests of brain functionincluding Quantitative EEG Brain Mappingreveal changes in cortical activation and abnormal EEG activity traceable to brain injury, stroke, and mental decline.

Symptoms which accompany brain injuries like this can include impairment in short-term memory, difficulty concentrating, loss of energy, irritability,” including temper outbursts, mood swings and other problems associated with the elderly such as anxiety and depression associated with those who have memory problems. Therefore, it is important to take a look at brain function as defined by an EEG brain map to determine the possibilities of having brain injury problems, and/or strokes, in the brain cortical areas.”

In order to make improvements to the problems associated with and caused by brain injury, the work of Neurofeedback enables the brain to improve.

Dr. Hammond states that Neurofeedback re-training of the brain wave patterns to be very effective in relieving many of the symptoms of brain injury even years post-injury.

The Neurofeedback should be viewed as an effective modality for relieving symptoms including those of memory deficits.
