Missed training sessions in May — 4 of 16 days skipped due to 60-hour work weeks managing 30+ installations. The data reveals what happens when you stop.
"Conscious control of the PFC is a skill that seems very easy to 'forget' or lose a sense of."
The data is clear: inconsistent neurofeedback training correlates with decreased prefrontal cortex activation. Previous sessions showed near 100% consistent activation. Recent scores show notably lower activation and varied control following the training gap.
Tic Control Mechanics
Minor motor tics (fist clenching, wrist rolling) are harder to suppress than larger movements because they require less energy and happen too quickly to consciously prevent. It's like trying to catch a mosquito vs. swatting a fly — the smaller the movement, the faster it escapes your control.
Despite activation drops, resilience remains "considerably high." The foundation built over 20+ days hasn't disappeared — it's just harder to access without regular practice.
The lesson: consistency isn't just important. It's everything.
