The Five Phase Model:
Overview
• Simple, Comprehensive Model of CNS
Functional Transformation
• Effective Across the Range of Disorders
• Implementation Not Equipment Specific
The Five Phase Model:
Clinical View
1. Suppress 3 & 5 and Augment SMR
2. Suppress 3 & 5 and Augment Beta
3. Suppress 3 & 5 and Augment Alpha
4. Sustain Alpha and Invite 7 Hz Crossovers
5. Pursue Global Synchrony
The Five Phase Model:
Review
• Five Phase Model Integrates SMR/Beta,
Alpha-Theta and Global Synchrony Training
• Single Site Training at Cz Demonstrates
Centrally Mediated Control Mechanisms
• Remaining Question: How to Make it Even
Simpler and More Efficient?
The Five Phase Model:
Clinical Findings
• Cz Referential Placement Effective
• Other Sites and Placements Can
Accelerate or Derail Clinical Change
• Frequency Targets Different From the
Traditional BandWidths
• Change in Amplitude Not Predictive of
Clinical Change
“Theta” Suppress of 4-7 Hz:
Too Large and Too Small...
• 3 Hz Needs to be Suppressed
• 5 Hz Needs to be Suppressed
• 7 Hz Needs to be Invited
Alpha is Not All “Alpha-Like”
• 8-12 Hz is Heterogeneous
• “It’s Not Just for Relaxation Anymore”
• Distinct From SMR -- SMR is 14 Hz
• 10 Hz Energizes Some Clients
“Beta” and “Alpha” May Need
to be Suppressed
• Alpha Subtype in ADD, Depression and
Other Conditions
• “High Beta” of 23-38 Hz Needs to be
Suppressed -- Dwelling and Mulling
• Beta of 15-18 Hz Disregulated in Substance
Abuse and Depression
New Augment Targets Not
Linked to Specific Conditions
or Deficits
• 20-22 Hz is a Deconstructive Augment that
Supercharges Alpha-Theta
• 38-42 Hz is an Integrative Augment that
Supercharges SMR/Beta
• Interleaved Appropriately, These Augments
Intitiate and Crystallize Global Synchrony
From Five Phases to
Non-Linear Dynamics: Period 3
• Five Phase Model Emerged From Careful
Review of Clinical Data
• Neither Movement Through The Five Phases
Nor Clinical Progress Was Linear
• Specific Non-Linear Phenomena Emerged
From the Clinical Data
Chaos Revealed:
Discontinuities in EEG
• EEG and Presenting Symptomatology
• EEG and Clinical Change
• Adjusting Thresholds
• Fixed Cycles: Rhythmic Generators
• Basins of Attraction: Epileptiform Activity
Criteria of Non-Linear
Dynamical Systems
• Sensitive Dependance on Initial Conditions
• Bounded: Clear Range of Values
• Aperiodic: Non-Repeatable
• Self-Similar: Fractal Dimension
• Deterministic: Chaos is Not Random
Non-Linear Mathematics
Captures EEG Phenomenolgy
• Linear Models Have Been Useful But
Misleading Because They Are Inaccurate
• Non-Linear Models of EEG Are Robust and
Powerful but Not Widely Understood
• We Need an Accurate and Accessible
Paradigm Based on Non-Linear Mathematics
Control Procedures in NonLinear Dynamical Systems
• External Forcing
• Entrainment and Migration Control
• Chaotic Perturbation
• Synchronization by Chaos
EEG Related Control
Procedures in Clinical Practice
• Medications and Environmental Constraints
• AVS Entrainment: EEG-Linked or Not
• Immersive Alpha-Theta Or Synchrony
• Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a NonLinear Dynamical Control
Process
• C3 Beta Augmentation Invokes
Concurrent C4 SMR Augmentation
• C4 SMR Augmentation Invokes
Concurrent C3 Beta Augmentation
• Dynamical Threshholding Yields Distinct
Clinical Results
Four Types of Thresholding
1. Static Scalar
2. Sampled Average Yielding Static Scalar
3. “Sliding Window” Dynamic Average
4. Dynamical Thresholds
All Automatic Thresholds Are
Not the Same
• Types 2 & 3 are Both “Automatic”
•Type 2 is Set By Therapist at Discrete Times
•Type 3 is Set Continuously By the Program
• Type 3 is Dynamic But Type 2 is Static
Thresholds: Static, Dynamic
and Dynamical
• Traditional Static Thresholds Frustrate
Clinicians and Clients
• Dynamic Thresholds Involve the Client’s
Psychophysiology
• Dynamical Thresholding Invokes the
Client’s Psychophysiology to Restore
Intrinsic Patterns of Healthy Chaos
The Period 3 Approach:
Non-Linear Control of CNS
Functional Transformation
• Simple, Powerful and Comprehensive
• Mathematically Elegant
• Built Upon the Five Phase Model
• Non-Linear as “Period 3 Implies Chaos”
Distinctive Features of The
Period 3 Approach
• Dynamic and Dynamical Thresholding
• Simultaneous, Bilateral Training of
Differential or Equal Augments
• Multiple, Bilateral Inhibits
• Time Variable Multimedia Feedback
• Sequenced, Synchopated and
SimultaneousTraining
The Five Phases Become
The Period 3 Approach
Period 1: Simultaneous Pursuit of Phase
One and Two
Period 2: Simultaneous Pursuit of Phase
Three and Four
Period 3: Pursuit of Global Synchrony
The Period 3 Approach:
Clinical View
1. Suppress 3 & 5 and 23-38 Hz Bilaterally
Augment C4/T4 SMR and C3/T3 Beta
2. Suppress 3 & 5 and 23-38 Hz Bilaterally
Augment Alpha at C3/T3 and C4/T4
Invite 7 Hz Crossovers
3. Suppress 3 & 5 and 23-38 Hz Bilaterally
Augment 20-22 and 38-42 Hz as Above
Period 1: Symptom Reduction
and Circadian Stabilization
• C4 or T4 SMR
• C3 or C3 Beta
• Bilateral 3 & 5 Hz and 23-38 Hz Inhibits
• Fp1 or Mastoid Reference & C7 Ground
Period 2: Profound Relaxation
and Transpersonal Exploration
• C4 / T4 and C3 / C3 Alpha
• Bilateral 3 & 5 Hz and 23-38 Hz Inhibits
• Bilateral 7 Hz Crossovers
• Fp1 or Mastoid Reference & C7 Ground
Period 3: Global Synchrony
and Spiritual Transformation
• C4 / T4 and C3 / C3 Augments Involving
20-23 Hz and 38-42 Hz
• Bilateral 3 & 5 Hz and 23-38 Hz Inhibits
• Fp1 or Mastoid Reference & C7 Ground
The Period 3 Approach:
Clinical Implications
• Treatment Times are Greatly Reduced
• Dynamic and Dynamical Thresholding
Reduces Negative Clinical Responses
• Simple, Powerful Approach Simplifies
Clinical Decision Making
• Differences Between Conditions Do Not
Necessitate Differences In Training
Profound OCD, Sexualized Focus:
Training Begins
• Client Rejected By Other OCD Programs
• Highest Possible Score on YBOCS
• Overvalued Ideation
• 2 Hour Conversation for Directions and Still
Got Lost
• Highly Valued Secrecy and Anonymity
Profound OCD, Sexualized Focus:
Training Continues
• 2 Hours of Questions Become 20 Minutes
• At 30 Sessions: Only Mild on YBOCS
• Arguments Become Disagreements
• 40 Minute Alpha-Theta Sessions
• Discovers Then Processes Exposures and
Trauma Without Clinician Involvement
Profound OCD, Sexualized Focus:
Training Concludes
• Self Initiates and Maintains AVS Practice
• Laughs and Jokes During Sessions
• Disagreements Become Discussions
• Car Accident From A Transpersonal View
• Training Discontinued at 55 Sessions
