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 neurobehavioral 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)

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 phase shift and phase lock, both for surface and LORETA Neurofeedback. 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 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.
A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to working with and demonstrating Deymed's 19 channel Z-SCORE neurofeedback via Neuroguide. S-LORETA will discussed as well as a demonstration of Deymed's new 3D Neurofeedback games. Instruction will be given as to utilizing and benefiting from new capabilities of the TruScan qEEG Neurofeedback system including full recording of continuous impedance values for quality verification of recorded qEEG data as well as advanced EEG review abilities of the TruScan Explorer software. Deymed software will now be shown working under Windows 8 (with full compatibility for Windows Vista, 7 and XP).
This year, we are also thrilled to explore the topic and various methods of cognitive enhancement via the use of nootropics and other like supplements. We have brought in several experts, both with academic and practical backgrounds to help participants learn more about this exciting new field. The talks will focus specifically on members of the racetam nootropics family.
NEW:
We will also be covering several neurological disorders and nervous system diseases. There are more than 600, and while we cannot, of course, talk about them all, we will touch on the major ones, including several caused by faulty genes and by infections. Part of this series of talks will also be diagnostic and management methods.
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. Dr. Lubar has been the director of Southeastern Biofeedback Institute where he worked with patients using Bio and Neurofeedback from 1974 to 2005. Currently, he is an associate editor of the Journal of Neurotherapy and he trains professionals to utilize qEEG and develop protocols for neurofeedback training.

| Simon Manning has been involved with nootropics and smart drugs for well over a decade. In addition to doing extensive scientific research, Simon also practices what he preaches. He has been an avid user of nootropics himself since 2008. He has published several articles targeted on the effects of nootropics on cognitive abilities, especially as measured by working memory and reaction time. He is also involved with running and contributes to several websites targeted at a more mainstream and consumer audience. Simon has particularly strong experience with the racetam family of nootropics, including pramiracetam and oxiracetam.

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.
