Description

Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) is a cutting edge, freely available brain imaging software that provides 3-dimensional brain images based on EEG recordings. Dr. Rex Cannon, a highly regarded LORETA specialist and researcher, provides EEG practitioners with this essential and much needed “missing manual” for LORETA. The book starts with an excellent introduction to LORETA and then guides readers through the basic operations of the LORETA and sLORETA software interface and analysis functions. The following chapters then explore clinical applications of LORETA for specific disorders, such as depression and ADHD, LORETA neurofeedback, Brodmann areas, ethical considerations, and more. Presented in a beautiful color, large format, this is the first known published book for the increasingly popular LORETA software and will no doubt become the essential LORETA reference text.

1 review for Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA): Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications

  1. Alan Fisher, PhD

    Dr. Rex Cannon and BMED Press teamed up and “hit a homerun” with this first and only book on LORETA. He provides an excellent introduction to LORETA with specific step-by-step “how to” set up and utilize this brain imaging software. The chapters provide thorough documentation of the clinical applications of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), neurofeedback, and LORETA neurofeedback for various disorders as well as a review of Brodmann areas, functional neuroanatomy, and ethical considerations. I think that this book will become the go-to manual for LORETA, a reference book in the library of most neurofeedback clinicians, and a textbook for neurofeedback training programs. I highly recommend this book for clinicians who use QEEG, LORETA, and/or neurofeedback..
