Othmer, Ph.D. is the Chief Scientist at the EEG Institute of the
Brian Othmer Foundation
in Woodland Hills (Los Angeles). This foundation is dedicated to
research, education, and clinical services in the field of neurofeedback.
Dr. Othmer is also the Founder of EEG Spectrum (1988), which rapidly
became the largest neurofeedback service delivery organization in
the world. He is a physicist who has spent most of his career in
aerospace research. However, two of his children with neurological
impairments, and a third with ADHD, moved his attention forcefully
to this emerging technique of neurofeedback. Dr. Othmer and his
wife, Susan Othmer, have introduced several thousand professionals
into the field of neurofeedback. The story of these developments
is told in the book A Symphony in the Brain by New York Times Science
writer, Jim Robbins.

ADD: The 20-Hour Solution
Attention Deficit Disorder
and the Healing Effects of EEG Neurofeedback
This new book by Mark Steinberg, Ph.D. and Siegfried Othmer, Ph.D. describes
a powerful remedy for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in straightforward
language that every reader will understand. The authors specialize in
the use of EEG biofeedback techniques (also called neurofeedback) for
the attention, behavior, mood, and learning problems of children and adults.
ADD: The 20-Hour Solution explains everything that parents of children
or adults with ADD or ADHD need to know about how neurofeedback techniques
work. Read how they address the underlying problem and characteristics
of ADD/ADHD, which must be corrected in order for symptoms to resolve.
(ADHD is the formal designation reflecting that hyperactivity is an additional
feature in this variant of the condition.)
Drs. Steinberg and Othmer take readers through this method, which can improve the brain’s ability to pay attention and regulate behavior. They outline a step-by-step process of finding and selecting a professional who offers the appropriate EEG neurofeedback services, and describe the process of resolving ADD safely and sensibly in only 20 hours, utilizing this innovative treatment method. They discuss how to monitor progress, and give specific criteria and methods for evaluating treatment success. This book will guide parents in how to talk to doctors, therapists, teachers, and others about ADD. It discusses other treatment interventions, and how they might complement neurofeedback. The book details what parents can do to support treatment, create effective environments, minimize stress and conflict, and get their child on-track to healthy adjustment and development. The authors also give specific procedures and examples of effective behavior modification suitable for children, particularly children with ADD.
ADD: The 20-Hour Solution explains the self-healing capacities of the human brain and how it can learn or re-learn the self-regulatory mechanisms that are basic to its normal design and function. The authors define mental fitness and explain the role of EEG neurofeedback in bringing about tangible improvement for those struggling with ADD.
