This book is an excellent one indeed! I am not a clinician, doctor or therapist in any way shape or form, but I am interested in the application of music being used in the context of healing. This book has helped me understand Nero Feedback in great detail and even help me put it into practice on myself as a point of empirical learning. i do feel that he section on brainwave entrainment or(BWE)would have been better if the audio aspect of it explained in more detail.
The writer makes learning an enjoyable experience with his use of words, it seems academic, but a pleasure to take in.

The content of this book is fine, though I haven't read all of it yet but its looking good so far. However, the Kindle version I bought for my ipad shows absolutely no images whatsoever, stating 'images can't be shown for permissive reasons' whenever an image should appear. I'm asking for my money back as its important for these images to be seen.

Limited usefulness
12 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had bought this book with high hopes based on the reviews and description. Make no mistake, this is a user's manual for several types of specific equipment (EEG-type) with very little background on how to interpret the readings or, more generally, on the various aspects of the neurofeedback field, or other methods of neurofeedback. This is a book by a pratitioner for a starting practitioner (dealing with how to set-up electrodes, how to read charts, a summary of a couple dated EEG systems, and how to choose an office space).
It does NOT cover in any detail theory or discuss latest research. Even as a reference for equipment/setup a quick internet search revealed several much more advanced systems available that were not even mentioned by the book. The book references DOS-based systems and alludes to Windows based systems.
If you are starting a business in this area and already have a firm grasp on the fundamnetals of this field then perhaps this book MIGHT be helpful, but anyone looking for an in-depth treatement of the wide range of neurofeedback techniques and/or comprehensive treatment of brain physiology/activity under different conditions should steer clear of this book - you will be disappointed. I am just glad Amamzon refunded my money.

The Definitive Text On "How To" In Neurofeedback
21 Feb 2005
Format:Hardcover
In the field of neurofeedback there are very few books that actually explain how to do neurofeedback. Most of the existing books are about theory and not method. John Demos has put together a book that is based on a sophisticated understanding of the method of neurofeedback and at the same time very readable. Within these pages are the simple and straightforward explanations of what needs to be done, why it needs to be done and how to do it. His explanations are clear and lucid. The careful organization of this text provides the reader with a progressive exposure to concepts that culminates in a comprehensive picture of the practice of neurofeedback. The theory and method he presents is well grounded in the existing literature and reflects a thorough exploration of the topic as well as considerable first hand clinical experience. This is the book that clinicians entering the field will be searching for as they travel from workshop to workshop in search of a comprehensive approach. As an author, clinician, and teacher in the field of neurofeedback I am acutely aware of the extensive effort and care it required to produce such a text and I highly recommend it to everyone in the field.

This book is AWESOME
9 April 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been working at a neurofeedback tech for nearly a year now and I have been researching and learning about NF for two years. This is the most comprehensive source I have found. While he discussed in-depth the complexities of NF, it's very understandable. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a practioner but it might get a bit too involved to recommend to clients.
