life in super-zero climates
Every time I step outside at night to take out the garbage, lock the door behind a departing roommate, etc., I'm always surprised (or at least reminded) of how not freezing the weather is. I mean sure, it's often cold in the morning, and sometimes I'm even reminded of the fact that I still need to go buy mittens, but I still appreciate that you can't even really see your breath even on a bad day here unless you really try.

Today was the first day of my neurofeedback sessions. The guy I'm seeing for it is really intelligent and laid back, and he's located not too far from my house. I'm really excited to be doing this on a regular basis now. And I'm still toying with the idea of acquiring the equipment and software to do it at home, but for now it's good to be working with someone who knows what they're doing.

IT IS TOTALLY GREAT. Everyone should do it, whether it's alpha training or theta, or incorporating (non-neuro) biofeedback... I'm really excited.

What exactly would a neurofeedback class consist of? are you learning to control your cardiopulmonary system? anything else?

It's not a class. It's technically a type of therapy. You learn to control your brainwaves, and some neurofeedback doctors have you learn to control your heart rate too (although that's just biofeedback, not neurofeedback), or your skin temperature, or other physiological stuff like basal skin response (which somehow tells you how nervous you are).
