Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) is designed to help the brainrebalance 

and reorganize itself. The process involves applying small sensors to the head

and neck that detect and monitor brainwaves and then send the resulting

electronic signals to a computer and a specialized EEG processor.The IASIS

computer returns a tiny impulse that is virtually a mirror image of the brain’s

own waves. This change allows the brain to reorganize itself through a gentle,

effortless release of fixed, frozen patterns.

 

 

 

                                                           The MCN signal directly correlates with the dominant brainwave                                                                                frequency and thus requires no conscious effort and can’t be the                                                                              wrong signal. The signal is very tiny, very brief, and is imperceptible to the                                                              client yet produces a measurable change in the brainwaves during                                                                          the feedback session. The changed brainwave state has much greater                                                                     ability for the brain and nervous system to regulate itself including the                                                                    sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Brain chemistry is also                                                            affected in ways that still not fully understood.

MCN enables the brain to release fixed patterns by promoting (allowing)

the brain to reorganize itself and shift from its formerly fixed patterns,

MCN is like rebooting a computer, your brain. The body responds by

developing new neural pathways, increasing neuroplasticity. It literally

allows the brain and nervous system’s chemical imbalances to self-regulate.

The nervous system recalibrates and stabilizes, giving the individual the

ability to be more resilient, responsive, and grounded. After successful treatment,

prescription drugs may often be reduced or discontinued with professional guidance.

All the conditions mentioned above have a common denominator: the brain is “frozen” or “stuck” in a dysfunctional pattern. This is why medications often are unable to satisfactorily address the above conditions - increasing a chemical through supplements or medications, blocking a reaction or receptor, etc. does not help the brain achieve its natural state of flexibility, self-regulation, and focus. When the IASIS processor sends a very brief very tiny impulse to the brain at a programmed rate, a temporary fluctuation in the brainwaves occurs and prompts the brain to adjust itself. This temporary change allows the brain to reorganize itself, re-orient itself, and become more flexible as it is intended. It gets “unstuck” from its mal-adaptive state. The brain rapidly and seemingly automatically gets accustomed to a better level of function - its natural ideal state that is free of unwarranted anxiety, pain, confusion, etc.

 

Thus IASIS does not train the brain like traditional neurofeedback, but instead “dis-entrains” the brain by allowing it to reorganize itself and release itself from frozen, stuck patterns. As said above, this is analogous to re-booting a frozen or malfunctioning computer.

 

 

 

 

Practitioners have used earlier and similar versions of MCN Micro Current Neurofeedback for over 15 years. Over 85% of clients who respond to treatment are by their own assessment very meaningfully helped. For example, > 85% of those with mild/moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) respond positively and notice a reduction in head pain, brain fog, impulsivity and better sleep during the first few sessions. The same is true for anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The normalizing changes associated with IASIS MPN have been shown in preliminary studies to be clearly evident on sophisticated brain mapping techniques (MEG). Even more impressive is that the benefits generally are long lasting.

 

Most individuals report feeling a mood or condition shift during or within 24 hours of the initial session. Family and friends may also notice the shift in one to three sessions. Initial changes are often temporary, but due to the cumulative nature of MCN, the improvements last longer with each session. By the end of a series of IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback sessions, improvements are substantial and long-lasting. While some individuals require “tune-ups,” for the most part the benefits endure. It seems that the brain regains a healthier homeostasis, balancing its neuro-chemicals, and its lifelong ability to adapt and learn (neuro-plasticity).

 

The results of a series of treatments thus creates a natural resistance to returning to a dysfunctional state. The number of sessions to achieve sustained optimal brain function depend on the individual, their condition and acuity. There is data on patients for over 10 years after neurofeedback treatment showing that their improved condition is “holding.”

 

 

 

 

                                                         IASIS MCN is practically 100% Safe… IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback                                                                  employ an FDA registered EEG amplifier and is extremely safe. The amplifier                                                          is small, lightweight and portable and puts out a signal that is about 3                                                                      picowatts (0.000000000003 watts), which is 1/300th the strength of a cell

                                                         phone signal and lasts only 1/100th of a second. To put it another way, IASIS                                                          emits a signal that is only 5 billionth of the average of output of a AA battery                                                          held to prepped skin for only 120 nanosecond (which is 1/10th of a                                                                          microsecond). The intensity is far below anything a human can feel, sense,                                                            or detect, Your brain and body is exposed to far stronger electromagnetic                                                              impulses from the typical environment many, many times a day.

 

There is really no medical condition, age, medication, allergy, etc. that would be a contraindication for using IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback. Even a pregnant women or young child would not be restricted from IASIS! 

 

​

Does Micro Current Neurofeedback Affect Only Negative Patterns?

 

Will it change my positive qualities? Only frozen, stuck patterns are affected. Healthy,

functional brainwave patterns are flexible and resilient. When there is a tiny fluctuation

they automatically spring back to their healthy patterns.

 

With the over 100,000 clients using the system, there have been no reports of injury or

undesirable outcomes. Because IASIS is a registered medical device, neurofeedback is

not intended for home use and is only to be administered to patients by trained doctors

and clinicians. The decision to use IASIS on any one is solely up to the doctor.

 

What Are Some of the Possible Responses to the MicroPulse Session?

 

The most commonly reported responses are mental clarity, a sense of calmness, clearer vision and senses, and more restorative sleep. The return of energy during the day, restful sleep at night, a sense of humor, motivation to get things done, ease in completing tasks, memory and recall, ability to read and listen with little or no distraction, and the absence of depression, irritability, impatience, and explosiveness have been observed repeatedly. Those with head injuries and/or psychological traumas have reported their ability to function in their work and personal life has been regained.

 

In the first few MPN MicroPulse Neurofeedback sessions, about 1 in 20-25 (~5%) individuals experience temporary fatigue, “light headedness” or a feeling of being “revved up.” Transient mild headaches, nausea, insomnia, or light/noise sensitivity have also been mentioned. These symptoms are always temporary and typically last only a few minutes to a few hours. Taking ¼-½ teaspoonful of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in 4-6 ounces of water may help shorten the reaction. These temporary reactions are expected to be even less common with the new protocols in our updated IASIS device.

 

Between Sessions: While many people feel energy, ease, clarity, and happiness after an Iasis MicroPulse Neurofeedback www.drkaslow.com ©Jeremy E. Kaslow, MD Inc session, these positive feelings may precede feelings of fatigue, depression, and anxiety between sessions. Those “rebounding” from good feelings often feel discouraged and doubtful about their ability to finish treatment. The rebound appears to be the brain’s way of struggling to remain in the old, familiar, and dysfunctional state. With continued neurofeedback, both the intensity of the good feelings and the unpleasant rebound periods tend to become shorter and less intense until the exaggerated feelings no longer occur.

 

Relief from life-long problems can be uneven. The symptoms can feel at times sharper than they were before; then pass, and then tend to rise less in subsequent cycles of rising and fallings. It is not unexpected that during each cycle, you may become anxious and filled with doubt about the wisdom of this strategy. It is important to know that since MicroPulse neurofeedback was introduced, no one has remained worse, 3% remained the same, and the rest have improved. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee of improvement or that you will remain free from these problem cycles.
