Topics will include:
|
|
|
· EEG frequencies
and waveforms
|
|
· The neural
anatomy of attention and arousal
|
|
· The international
10-20 electrode placement system
|
|
· Intake/assessment
procedure for protocol selection
|
|
· and running
a session with practical hands-on experience
|
|
|
This workshop will be suitable for beginners to the field
of Neurofeedback. It will cover a brief history of the field,
relevant brain anatomy, physiology and function, and practical
hands-on experience in running a neurofeedback session.
|
| |
|
Objectives:
|
| Participants will learn: |
| |
| The basics of neuronal dynamics, cortical rhythms, and neuronal
generators, which together give us insight into neural connectivity.
|
| |
| The arousal model of neurofeedback and how to measure optimal
and sub-optimal arousal. |
| |
| How to recognize specific brain wave dysregulations in clinical
practise (e.g. Bipolar depression, Anxiety and Panic Attacks,
Schizophrenia, Insomnia etc.) and in educational settings
(AD/HD, Dyslexia, Autism, Developmental Co-ordination Disorder,
Reactive Attachment Disorder, etc) will be described with
up-to-date research and theories. Studies presenting the practise
and efficacy of Neurofeedback in all these conditions will
be presented. Some psychometric tests to aid assessment will
be explained and handed out. |
| |
| How to deal with common applications beyond the arousal
model - such as Head injury, Stroke, Epilepsy, Sociopathy,
Delinquency, Pain, Fibromyalgia, Bruxism, Eating Disorders,
Memory problems, Addictions, Dementia etc. Many of these conditions
will require a Quantitative EEG (see advanced course) as a
necessary part of the assessment before neurofeedback protocols
can be developed for their treatment. Some of these conditions
require a different kind of neurofeedback (e.g. alpha-theta),
which will be briefly explained but also belongs to the advanced
neurofeedback course material. |
| |
| How to look beyond the deficit model - peak-performance
in Sports, Music and Drama, Cognitive enhancement and Creativity,
Hypnosis and Immune system enhancement for long term illness. |
| |
| How to use neurofeedback equipment; Nexus, EEGspectrum,
BrainMaster, PET, and other equipment will all be displayed
and explained but initially all practise will be on a simple
hand held model that will give participants a real knowledge
and ability to measure and manipulate; frequency, amplitude,
power and training curves. A short explanation of Coherence,
Phase, Comodulation, Synchrony and Assymetry and 'Z' score
training etc. will be presented but these more sophisticated
neurofeedback methods also belong to the advanced course.
|
| |
| Outcome: |
| |
| At the completion of this course certified by The Society
for Applied Neuroscience, participants will be able to: |
| |
|
Assess a client's suitability for neurofeedback - this
may include the use of psychometrics as well as a neurofeedback
questionnaire, based on the arousal model and astructured
interview, quantifying symptoms. Recognise when a potential
client needs treatment other than neurofeedback.
|
| |
| Understand the basis of electrophysiological recording and
know where the electrodes should be placed (the 10/20 system
will be practised) and what preparation is needed. |
| |
| Be able to run a neurofeedback session and describe the
training curve. |
| |
| Develop a symptom tracking progress report for use between
sessions. |
| |
| While recognising the power of neurofeedback, also understanding
how motivation, conditioning, medication, expectations, diet
and peer/other pressure can influence a good outcome. |
| |
| The course is run by: |
| |
| Dr Bev Steffert is an Educational psychologist and
Neurofeedback practitioner. |
|
Tony Steffert is a EEG technician and researcher
in Neurofeedback.
