II. A Way of “Picturing” the Program “Picture” the Infiniti program as a row of town houses. The program governs everything you can do in all of these dwellings, its like the electrical, heating and water system. Each house, however, is unique. (Each dwelling has its own family residing there.) Drawn by: Boyana Knezivic. Think of the town house basement as a channel set. It has a selection of EEG band widths and biofeedback measurements plus statistics for these variables. These band Copyright ADD Centres Ltd. Prepublication – 1 st draft. Please do not copy.

widths were chosen by a senior clinician and coach in consultation with other professionals. They are sufficient in variety for you to get started. Then you can change them according to the individual needs of your client. (See some pictures under “Your first day” immediately following this.) Imagine that the first floor of the townhouse contains the program for changing all the screens (called the screen / script editor) that use the particular channel set in that house’s basement. Imagine that the second floor contains all the screens that work with this particular channel set and that you use to do your assessments and give training feedback. The first townhouse basement contains the channel set you will use most often called: PI MT 1EEG Physio-HRV FB.chs This contains the most frequently used band widths such as theta (4-8 Hz), SMR (13-15 Hz), beta (15-18 Hz) and so on. It also contains commonly used ratios such as that used by Lubar and Monastra (4- 8Hz) 2 x6.3/(13-21Hz) 2 x6.3 (The constant of 6.3 is cancelled out when doing a ratio) which is the theta/beta power ratio found in the literature for large studies of subjects who have ADHD. This appears to correspond to a division of ‘mean’ µv values squared but our A620 instruments give slightly higher values for theta and beta and for the ratios when compared with the Infiniti possibly due to different ‘windowing’. This is not truly ‘power’ but it is termed this if you are using the Stoelting Autogenics A620 assessment output. These “power” ratios correspond reasonably well (but not precisely) to the mean band width µv values squared in the ratio we put on the assessment screen for the MT channel sets but as noted above the Infiniti ratios may be a little HIGHER than the ones you read in Monastra et al. They use a ‘cut off’ of 1.5 SD. If your ratio is within the age values given for 2 SD (2 standard deviations) in their report then you are well within their ranges for a diagnosis of ADHD. (Note: As a general statement, it would appear that if an older assessment and feedback program did not do either “rectification” or “windowing” (see discussion p. 147-150) that it would give higher values for bandwidths and for ratios (such as power of theta 4-8 Hz/ power of 13-21 Hz. A newer program with “rectification” and “windowing” would give lower ratio values (particularly for children where the theta magnitude is relatively much higher) than the ratios published in the literature.)
