The Filtering category focuses on the impulsive, distractible, emotionally labile person who has difficulty falling asleep. It is very common to see people who, as children, perhaps were given the “hyper” label grow up without the signs of hyperactivity. If we just train the cognitive issues without dealing with the emotional drive that underlies it, it is likely that our results will be transitory at best. The reason why I stress the process of looking at the EEG in the order I do is that we can easily imagine a situation where a client with emotional drive issues might have a difficult time paying attention, processing cognitively, etc. The process involves going through the activation patterns starting from Tone issues (seen on the Heads page) and ENDING with the cognitive issues. So the training plan developed using the TQ always focuses on more basic, subcortical issues first and moves up to the cognitive ones, because if you train cognitive issues first, the results don’t “stick”. Would you not expect a very anxious person to have difficulty focusing? There is too much competing mental chatter going on. The brain-trainer system is based on the belief that subcortical drive issues (like anxiety) trump cognitive issues. They often seem to co-exist, and training the patterns will often result in changes in the desired direction.

I don’t guess anyone knows whether the problem causes the pattern, or vice-versa, or neither.

The TQ7 is meant to be a practical way of identifying trainable issues in the electrical pattern of the brain.

Diagnoses don’t provide much guidance in figuring out how to train the brain to change desired behaviors, and it’s useless to start an assessment with a diagnosis already in mind. Please remember, TQ7 is neither a diagnostic nor a research tool, though it could be used for either.
