SUMMARY:AAPB Virtual Workshop: NF Bootcamp: What You Need to Know for Effective Assessment and Intervention
DESCRIPTION:
The essence of this workshop con
cerns how carefully done EEG assessment leads to interventions that improve
clients’ functioning, whether they are clients with disorders or athletes
and executives who wish to optimize their functioning. It teaches the basic
s, using lots of clinical examples, for those new to the field. It provides
a great review and update for experienced practitioners.
In two days, we will cover what you need to know for effec
tive neurofeedback practice. Participants will also learn how to combine neurofeedback with biofeedback, especially heart ra
te variability training, to synergistically improve self-regulation skills.
For those interested in BCIA certification, the course covers Rubrics I, V
I, VII, and IX of the Blueprint.
In the f
irst day, participants with cover Orientation to Neurofeedback
and Client Assessment. This include
s basic knowledge about brainwaves (frequency, morphology, a
span>mplitude, magnitude, power, location, reactivity and origin); re
cognizing artifacts, how to measure the EEG, viewing the EEG in the time do
main and in the frequency domain. With respect to instrumentation, it cover
s impedance; high and low pass filters, notch filters, Ohm’s law, the diffe
rential amplifier, common mode rejection, Nyquist principle and aliasing. A
ttendees will become comfortable with the International 10-20 electrode placement sites and their relation to Brodmann Areas
(BAs). Montages for EEG assessment, and for training, will focus on refere
ntial and sequential placements. There will be instruction concerning how e
lectrodes are applied, impedance is checked, artifacts are identified and r
emoved, and how the single channel EEG results can be displayed in one Hz b
ins (1 to 35 Hz). Key ratios, such as theta/beta power ratios and ratios fo
r identifying “busy brain” (ruminations and/or anxiety) will be explained.<

The second day will cover De
veloping Treatment Protocols and Current Trends i
n Neurofeedback. Treatment interventions will include symptom
pictures, EEG findings, and discussion of how to develop an individualized
training protocol for each client. Together we will cover the basic pattern
s observed in the EEG and how those patterns correlate with symptoms. Patte
rns found in ADHD will be emphasized because it is the most common disorder
and one for which neurofeedback has established efficacy. There will also
be discussion of other patterns, such as low amplitude/fast pattern that ma
y be found with alcoholism, anxiety, ruminations, compulsive behaviors; fro
ntal alpha asymmetry in some patients with depression; patterns seen in Asp
erger’s/Autism Spectrum Disorder, patterns in seizure disorders; and findin
gs in post-concussion syndrome. There will be mention of 19-channel EEG ass
essment, brain maps, LORETA source localization, and Event Related Potentia
ls (ERPs).
Current Trends will focus on h
ow neurofeedback can be part of multi-modal interventions. There will be ex
planations of how neurofeedback and biofeedback can be combined. This produ
ces the most effective training to improve self-regulation skills and to tr
eat common disorders, as well as to optimize performance.
Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and learn
material relevant to their clinical practices.
Learning Objectives
In this workshop you will :
- Become famil
iar with the science underlying neurofeedback, including its scientific bas
is, learning theory, standard EEG bandwidths and
associated mental states
- Learn how to accurately measu
re brainwaves, with an emphasis on single channel assessment
- Be competent in designing interventions for various disorders, inclu
ding ADHD, Anxiety, Asperger’s syndrome/ASD, and also interventions for opt
imal performance in sport or professional careers
- Beco
me familiar with measuring other biofeedback variables and combining biofee
dback (especially heart rate variability training) with neurofeedback
Delivery Metho
d: Interactive webinar using teleph
one and Internet technology.
Tar
get Audience: Professionals who are interested in becoming c
ertified in the field of neurofeedback.
