Text Box: “connections”, which is the purpose of this newsletter. That being said, let the connections begin! Text Box: Text Box: The purpose of this newsletter is twofold. First, we are interested in making a connection with you, the reader. You may be a clinician or other practitioner, a trainee, an educator, a parent or family member, or simply interested in this exciting new field. We hope to connect you with information and ideas that will help you to understand neurofeedback, its history, its uses and benefits, and its future. Secondly, we are interested in helping you to make connections. There are important connections to be made in terms of understanding our environment, our society, our medicolegal system, our educational choices, and many other areas of life. When connections are made, understanding can follow. We seek to educate and enlighten Text Box: as many people as possible, so that they can appreciate the importance of the brain and mind, and how our inner world affects, indeed creates, our outer world. It is by consensus that we operate and it is by consensus that we learn. Only when we can agree on simple things like the value of a recording parameter, or whether someone’s behavior has changed in an objective way, that we can make progress in understanding and working together. Neurofeedback provides a tremendous breakthrough, in that we can understand, measure, and work with our inner worlds, as objectively as with our outer worlds. This opens the door to new ways of thinking, working, and communicating. And gives new meaning to the word Text Box: Making the Connection Text Box: Please Connect with Us Text Box: If you have any experience, interest, or information that you would like to share with the neurofeedback community, please consider contacting us to submit an article, review, or other item. We will be publishing and seeking book reviews, site reviews, workshop reviews, commentary, opinions, and information from all of our Text Box: readers, as well as any other interested parties. One of our purposes is to foster connections between the members of the community, and to foster cooperation and education whenever possible. We will be covering as many books, workshops, courses, meetings, and other opportunities that we can. Text Box: Please consider this an opportunity for you to share that idea, method, approach, or experience that you have found valuable over the years. Let us know what you would like to submit, and see what connects! Text Box: Winter 2005 Text Box: Volume 1, Issue 1
