Informative Book Reduces Fear and Educates Those Who Are to Receive a Brain Map (QEEG) or First Neurofeedback Session
Rob’s book, “A Consumer’s Guide to Understanding QEEG Brain Mapping and Neurofeedback Training” is written in an easy to understand and informative manner that will be a valuable asset to the client or patient. I appreciate the attention to detail and the accurate descriptions of the two processes discussed; brain mapping (QEEG) and neurofeedback. Many clients/patients have a level of trepidation when about to undergo a new procedure and this guide will go a long way to allay their concerns. In fact, I like the book so well, I am considering using it with each new patient who starts a neurofeedback program at Michigan Brain Health. Thank you again, Rob, for writing and publishing such an important and much-needed book for the consumer.

A great Introduction to Neurofeedback and Brain Mapping!!
Robert Longo has written an excellent “Get to Know Neurofeedback” book which explains in simple terms what this science is all about and answers many questions people unfamiliar with this training have. Every provider should have a copy or many of this book in their office. The book also supplies many useful resources for your office, especially if you are just getting into this field. A must have book for the beginner as well as the expert.
