The evidence base.
Curated bibliographies on the modalities we use — quantitative EEG, neurofeedback, HRV biofeedback, functional neurological exercises, and the integrated picture. Peer-reviewed sources, updated annually.
Bibliographies
Curated by topic.
Each bibliography is reviewed annually by Dr Ash. We include landmark papers, recent meta-analyses, and the limitations of the current evidence base — not just the supportive findings.
Neurofeedback
Operant-conditioning EEG training — RCTs and meta-analyses across ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, post-concussion. Including the limitations.
HRV biofeedback
Heart-rate variability biofeedback at resonant frequency — strong RCT support across anxiety, burnout, performance.
Functional neurological exercises
Vestibular-ocular rehabilitation, dual-task and cerebellar work — particularly in concussion recovery.
Neuroplasticity & cognitive training
What the brain can change, how fast, and under what conditions — the experimental and clinical evidence.
Sleep, autonomic & gut–brain
The non-cortical inputs that shape brain function — sleep architecture, vagal tone, gut–brain signalling.
