Pattern Based

TLC’s Brain Training approach is based on the fact that common patterns of activation in the brain tend to be linked to specific sets of strengths and weaknesses. We are constantly tracking the work of researchers who identify such EEG patterns and adding them to our system. Our assessment tools link subjective (strengths and weaknesses) and objective (brain patterns) information to suggest training strategies. Our Assessment Service provides expert assistance in determing likely training strategies for your brain or your clients' brains.

Avoids Labels

Drawing on years of experience with thousands of clients, we do not find it is necessary or even useful to diagnose people according to a “pathology” model. Diagnoses are often just descriptions of symptoms. They rarely guide the brain trainer toward the best strategy.

We believe there is no “perfect” brain, and that most of us aren’t just seeking to be “normal.” We focus on defining the client’s desired changes and seeing how the client’s brain patterns stand in the way. That information defines how the brain needs to change in order to grow. We know people all over the world who are using EEG biofeedback to successfully deal with the issues underlying such labels as ADD, ADHD, bipolar, depression, anxiety, learning disability, and brain injury.

Practical and Hands-On

Much of what is published and taught about brain training is theoretical. TLC Brain Training focuses on teaching the 7 Skills of the Brain Trainer—practical skills required to DO training.

TLC Online Workshops and videos combine theory with practice, letting you learn at your home or office, reviewing the material as often as you wish. Workshops are limited to 6-10 participants so everyone gets personal attention.

Cost Effective and Independent

TLC’s goal is to offer you low-cost neurofeedback equipment and software options that are highly effective, whether you are a professional or a home trainer. You can spend as much as $10,000 or as little as $1,000 for essentially similar biofeedback equipment and software.

Because TLC has distribution agreements with various manufacturers, we are aware of new options and technology before the market is. We even have an option that offers you HEG (brain blood oxygenation) as well as EEG training. We can offer discounted prices and up-to-date advice from a broad point of view. Even if you choose not to buy from us, check out the options.

Because we work for no manufacturer, and we sponsor our own workshops, we are free to offer objective analysis of the pros and cons of each option we recommend, based on our hands-on use of the equipment.

Peter Van Deusen began training his own brain in 1991 and studied the theories, philosophies and techniques of many leaders in the field of brain training. With no clinical background, but impressed by the changes that occurred in his own life, he began working with clients and built his practice to 4 sites in metro Atlanta. In 2001 he moved to Miami, FL and began training other professionals, as well as home users. He presents throughout the US, Europe and South America. The assessment tools he has developed are used by hundreds of brain trainers around the world.
