E-mail Print PDF

Workshop 

Who should attend:

This  workshop is especially designed for clinicians, researchers and qEEG specialists who are or will be using qEEG for neurofeedback and related modalities to guide the treatment of neuobehavioral disorders. 

This particular workshop will be primarily suited for beginners and people new to the field.  The emphasis will be on EEG fundamentals, EEG analysis and protocol development for neurofeedback and case illustrations.  Attendees will have ample opportunity for direct training in qEEG and the use of Deymed systems for acquisition and neurofeedback.  There will be new features including DVD feedback, new game displays and updated software that includes Z-Score with Deymed games for Thatcher's Neuroguide program.

BCIA is now the BIOFEEDBACK CERTIFICATION INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE.

BCIA credits 
This workshop provides 24 hours of BCIA certification or recertification hours.

Level:
Beginner - Intermediate -(we will have special evening classes available in addition to the day workshop for hands-on use and training with the equipment)

Register here: Course registration

Workshop topics:
Presenters will cover the reading of raw EEG, remontaging, Laplacian, current source density, origin of EEG as well as recently introduced concepts such as comodulation, phase resetting, and synchrony. Discussion will include models of connectivity and concepts introduced by Nunez and Srinivasan in Electric Fields of the Brain and by Buzsaki in Rhythms of the Brain.

Participants will be able to experience actual EEG recording using the Deymed TruScan 32 and BrainFeedback 2 systems and see how neurofeedback protocols are set up and used. Presenters will demonstrate methods for obtaining quality recording, artifact removal and distinguishing muscle from EEG in the recordings.

Part of the workshop will be reserved for the detailed evaluation of participants' complex cases in a group setting. Neuroguide, LORETA, and Novatech databases will be used for the development of specific neurofeedback training protocols. Evaluation using the Brain Resource Corporation database of 24 channels and more than 3,000 cases will also be illustrated.

NEW:
A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to working with Deymed's new 19 channel Z-SCORE neurofeedback via Neuroguide. S-LORETA will be demonstrated as well as Auditory and Visual Evoked Related Potentials.


What to bring:
Participants should bring cases in Neuroguide saved files, Lexicor files, Deymed recordings or other formats that can be inputted into Neuroguide and Eureka-3. These must be coded to preserve confidentiality.

Joel F. Lubar, Ph.D. has been practicing neurotherapy for 35 years and conducting qEEG training and analysis since the mid 1970's. He received his B.S. and Ph.D. from the Division of the Biological Sciences and Department of Biopsychology at the University of Chicago. He was an assistant professor at the University of Rochester, a post-doctoral fellow at the UCLA School of Medicine and an associate and full professor at the University of Tennessee. He is now professor Emeritus. In 1971 he was a visiting professor at the Institute of Physiology at the University of Bergen in Norway. He has published more than 135 papers and eight books in the fields of neuroscience and applied psychophysiology. Dr. Lubar was president of AAPB and ISNR. Currently, he is an associate editor of the Journal of Neurotherapy and he trains professionals to utilize qEEG and develop protocols for neurofeedback training.

 

Steven Stockdale, Ph.D. has been a qEEG training specialist for over 19 years. He is a licensed psychologist specializing in qEEG, neurofeedback and the treatment of mild traumatic brain injuries and ADHD. He is a past president of the ISNR organization. He has worked with elite athletes in both Japan and the United States. Dr. Stockdale is an internationally known speaker on qEEG and Neurofeedback. He has held appointments at the University of Colorado and Chapman University. Currently he is the Clinical Director of a successful qEEG and neurofeedback practice in Colorado Springs.
