Stats    modalities, applications, names, companies

It was a rainy afternoon, and Google called.

I did a search on Google. After a few names I realized that for some of them, the names were shared by others. For example—Lynda Thompson also has a counterpart who is an artist and realtor.

 

So I went to Google advanced search and put the name on the exact phrase line "with at least one of the words" and added the words, biofeedback neurofeedback After digging up names, I checked out applications of biofeedback, then modalities.

I searched over 30 names, the top pullers on google were:

(John) Perry 3150 not surprising considering that incontinence is the top Biofeedback  application

(Jim) Robbins  2270

(Ed) Blanchard 1380

(Paul) Lehrer     1220

(Joel) Lubar       1140

(Rob) Kall      793

 

 

I also took a look at which modalities and applications have the most coverage. I required that Neurofeedback or biofeedback be present and then used the following words:

 

Not surprisingly, Muscle came in highest, which includes incontinence, stress, relaxation, stroke and neuromuscular rehab, pain management, spinal cord rehab and headache. Then I looked at different applications. Stress and anxiety came in highest.

Also, if I just search on a last name, like Lubar, Sterman, Othmer or Green, the numbers come up much higher. I attribute that to other people with the same last name to a smaller extent and listing in bibliographies as the main cause. I did not list more common last names since there are so many other names that are found in the search. If the first name is in parentheses, then it was NOT used in the search.

 

Any suggestions for others who come in with search totals over 400?

It’s an interesting study.

 

Of course non-biofeedback people like Thom Hartmann 6000+ and Karl Pribram 2900+ come up with higher numbers.

 

Any other suggestions on how to figure out this question?
