The story of a boy’s personal triumph over adversity lives on through his parents’ dedication to changing the world.

Brian’s Legacy chronicles the emotional journey of a dedicated father and his troubled son, by paring Brian’s journal entries with his father’s recollections. As a child, Brian Othmer faced many challenges. As a young adult, he recorded his journey in a diary, which reveals a young man determined to understand himself and his brain, and to answer the question that drives him: Where do I fit in this world?

This is the perfect read for anyone who has been touched in some way by the difficulties of raising a troubled child. It is also a universal story for those looking for inspiration to improve their day-to-day lives.

Bonus 1. The Emerging Frontier of Neurofeedback

In this research we explore how something quite remarkable happens when we allow the brain to witness its own EEG. It is effectively looking at itself in a mirror. Watching that activity, it does not take long for the brain to recognize its connection to the signal on the screen.

It is witnessing its own neuronal dance, and that provides a basis for the brain improving on its dance. Neurofeedback, then, is nothing more than a guided way for the brain to improve its own function based on the information it is getting on its own activity.

Bonus 2. The Early History of Neurofeedback

The book Brian’s Legacy tells the story of how my wife Susan Othmer and I originally came to be involved in neurofeedback. In this article, we provide some background about what led us to this novel therapy, along with the history of the field itself.

Bonus 3. Neurofeedback in Education

This research shows that with neurofeedback it is easy to explore, and then to exploit, the potential of training the brain to higher functioning. This is not a project of creating baby Einsteins or scary-smart computer geeks.

Rather, it is a way of allowing every person to train his or her own brain to its native potential, whatever that may be. It is our observation that what holds people back is often not intellectual dysfunction at all, but rather problems in the emotional realm.

Bonus 4. The Future Role of Neurofeedback in Education and Health Care

At the EEG Institute in Los Angeles we get to see this future in microcosm with our own employees, because all have free access to neurofeedback. All the employees have taken advantage of the offer of neurofeedback. Very few of them are chasing symptoms. Most are doing this in an optimum performance frame.

They know that a neurofeedback session now and then just helps them do a better job and have a happier life. It’s a countervailing force against the stresses of life that eventually wear people down. It’s training in resilience, that reservoir of function when we are up against the stops.

So this research shows we have evidence already that if the barrier is not too high then folks will take the trouble to do neurofeedback brain training on a maintenance basis and brighten their futures.
