Neurofeedback—An Evolving Discipline: Overview & Applications

With guest speaker, John S. Anderson, MA, BCB, BCN, QEEG-D, Minnesota NeuroTraining Institute

 

This webinar will provide a brief overview of a field that began with animal physiology studies, including operant conditioning of scalp electrical activity in cats, to a worldwide neuroscience specialty that has a well-documented history of efficacy for a growing list of medical and psychological disorders. If it has to do with the central nervous system, neurofeedback has likely been studied as a possible intervention. We will touch on the research base, how the evolution of neurofeedback has progressed and what the future holds. We will pay particular attention to the use of neurofeedback for attention disorders such as ADHD, anxiety and depression, PTSD, migraine and traumatic brain injury.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the webinar, learners will be able to:

  1. Describe the history and evolution of neurofeedback
  2. Explore the basic mechanisms via which neurofeedback works
  3. Summarize the literature supporting the use of neurofeedback for various conditions
