Description: 

Participants will receive an introduction to what neurofeedback is and how it works to help improve overall health functioning. Presenter will discuss neurofeedback’s influence on calming the central nervous system (CNS) and how the training and its process can significantly enhance the efficacy of other interventions. Information about how to pursue training and certification will also be provided.

Objectives:

1) Discover what neurofeedback is and how it operates to calm the central nervous system (CNS) through a non-invasive and evidence-based training process.

2) Understand how neurofeedback can significantly enhance the efficacy of traditional psychotherapeutic and other interventions and how this can help bridge the relationship between healthcare disciplines.

3) Receive a general overview of what is involved in the process of training and certification to become a provider.

Description: 

This workshop introduces participants to four cutting-edge scientific approaches to understanding stress and stress management. As the science of stress evolves, these new models offer fresh insights into how stress impacts our bodies, minds, and behaviors—and how we can manage it more effectively.

We'll dig into both the theory and implications of an update to the allostatic load model, the brain's predictive modeling capacity, Poly Vagal Theory and the brain's capacity for information processing.

Finally, we'll make the connection between each approach and actionable practices for managing the experience and impact of stress on mind and body.

Objectives:

1. Understand the new thinking around Allostatic Load theory

2. Apply Poly Vagal Theory to stress management techniques

3. Articulate how the predictive nature of brain activity leads to the experience of stress

4. Understand Stress as an information processing challenge

Description

Join us for an enlightening seminar exploring the innovative approaches of neurofeedback and neuromodulation in the management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). As awareness and understanding of ADHD continue to grow, so too do the methods for addressing its challenges. This seminar will delve into how these cutting-edge techniques can help regulate brain function and improve attention, impulse control, and overall cognitive performance.

Participants will gain insights into the neuroscience behind ADHD, examining how neurofeedback can train the brain to enhance self-regulation and emotional stability. We will also discuss the role of neuromodulation techniques, such as transcranial alternating magnetic stimulation (tACS) and pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (pEMF) and their potential to offer relief for individuals struggling with ADHD symptoms.

Key topics will include:
•        The underlying neurophysiology of ADHD
•        Evidence-based practices in neurofeedback and neuromodulation
•        Case studies showcasing successful interventions
•        Practical applications and considerations for practitioners
•        Future directions in research and clinical practice

Whether you're a mental health professional, educator, or simply interested in the latest developments in ADHD treatment, this seminar promises to provide valuable knowledge and resources. Join us to discover how these innovative techniques can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by ADHD.

Objectives:

1.        Understand the Neurophysiology of ADHD: Participants will be able to articulate the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and how these relate to symptoms such as inattention and impulsivity.
2.        Evaluate Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation Techniques: Attendees will assess evidence-based practices in neurofeedback and neuromodulation, including transcranial alternating magnetic stimulation (tACS) and pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (pEMF), and their efficacy in managing ADHD symptoms.
3.        Analyze Case Studies: Participants will analyze and discuss case studies that demonstrate successful interventions using neurofeedback and neuromodulation, identifying key factors that contributed to positive outcomes.
4.        Apply Practical Strategies: Attendees will develop practical applications and considerations for integrating neurofeedback and neuromodulation techniques into their own professional practices, tailored to the needs of individuals with ADHD.
