* Dr. Thornton, author of 25 scientific articles, three book chapters,
one book, four patents, and nominated for 5 awards and recipient
of one, will be interviewed on a PBS special on Neuroscience out of
Philadelphia this fall.
Covered by some insurance companies
has reported that EEG biofeedback can:
1) raise a child’s score on an IQ test, the single best
predictor of success in life, 15 points (4 studies).
2) significantly improve auditory (80%) and reading
memory scores (222%) in individuals with specific
learning disabilities and significantly improve auditory

(105%) and reading memory (143%) in subjects with
a history of traumatic brain injury and improve both groups to above normal levels when

3) reduce impulsivity, inattention & hyperactivity and improve cognitive abilities of the
autistic child.
A recent MTA study concluded that medication and counseling were not effective in
changing the symptoms of ADD/ADHD in an eight year follow up study. EEG biofeedback has
consistently demonstrated significant and powerful changes in clinical groups and is currently
recommended by six professional organizations for ADD/ADHD and other clinical conditions.
DO YOU WANT THESE RESULTS FOR YOUR CHILD?
I am currently conducting neuroscience research into children’s quantitative EEG
response to cognitive challenges. I am looking for approximately five- and eight-yearold children to be research subjects. The reimbursement is $25 for about 60-90 minutes
of your time. Please contact me if you are interested in participating. Call 980-229-4962
or email me at [email protected].
