The Frist Annual Z-Score Training Confence

The Ritz Carlton Cancun Resort, Cancun, Mexico

Friday May 25 to Sunday May 27, 2012
Pre-Conference Workshops;
Monday 5/21 Thru Thursday 5/24, 2012

For nearly six years, the clinical neurofeedback community has been exploring and evolving the use of QEEG normative database-referenced z-scored training. The pioneering efforts of Dr. Robert Thatcher, Brainmaster and Thought Technologies have set the stage for a present-day environment of intense innovation and refinement of methods. Building upon the principles of operant conditioning and norm-referenced QEEG database modeling of normal brain function, we are now seeing the multichannel EEG treatment of surface (cortex-based) disorders integrated with EEG source localization/visualization (LORETA) and brain stimulation methods (e.g., NeuroField).

This event is designed to address the training needs of the clinical neurofeedback community as well as a detailing of the present scientific status of these treatment innovations. Towards that end, the three day conference will be preceded by four days of hands-on workshops, dedicated to instilling both competence and confidence in the use of cutting edge, z-score based training methods. The event will be held at the internationally renowned Ritz Carlton Cancun Resort, a 5-star property boasting one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We are proud to offer our conference attendees a greatly reduced room rate that transforms this event into an affordable vacation you won’t soon forget.

2-day rTMS course: rTMS for depression and new developments in Psychiatry

 1 – 2 Mar 2012

 Brainclinics Education, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

 In recent years, rTMS has evolved from an investigational technique to a neuromodulation technique that has a rapidly growing number of applications and is gaining popularity in psychiatric and neurological settings. The growing acceptance of rTMS as a neuromodulation treatment is further evidenced by the first FDA approval of rTMS equipment for the treatment of treatment-resis​tant depression and several very promising recent publications. The 2-day course will have a focus on: - The use and theoretical background of rTMS in clinical practice - Mechanisms and safety aspects - The use of rTMS in the treatment of depression - An overview of the use of rTMS in other disorders - The use of EEG and QEEG along with rTMS for safety aspects, the prediction of treatment outcome and markers for responders/non-​responders. In addition to the theoretical part, there will be time dedicated to hands-on practice for various protocols and applications. There will be room for discussion and the newest findings from our own experience in clinical practice will be shared. This course is most suitable for clinicians, psychiatrists and psychologists who have basic knowledge of neuroscience and consider using rTMS treatment in their own practices. Also researchers wanting to use rTMS in their studies are welcome.

ClinicalQ & Braindriving Workshop- Fundamental Neurotherapy for Professionals

23 – 25 Mar 2012

Swingle & Associates 630-1190 Melville St., Vancouver, BC, Canada

 Presented by Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D., R. Psych.; Author of “Biofeedback for the Brain” and “Basic Neurotherapy: The Clinician’s Guide” The workshop introduces the ClinicalQ and Braindryvr methods. Each topic is designed to help professionals learn what has been shown to work from experience and research. Participants learn how to record the ClinicalQ and to interpret the results. Methods for probing the client based on comparisons with the ClinicalQ clinical data base are reviewed and many cases are studied to help participants learn how to capably use this remarkably efficient intake procedure. The details associated with selecting appropriate unconditioned stimuli for braindriving are reviewed and the methods for administering basic Braindryvr protocols are shown. Unique concerns regarding treating clients with severe emotional trauma, chronic depression and those who are heavily medicated are reviewed. Conditions that require full QEEG will be identified as will conditions in which the more aggressive treatments are contraindicated​. Registration Fee: $950 To register, please call us at 604-608-0444.

20th Annual ISNR Conference Workshops

Monday, 17 Sep 2012

Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, One Grand Cypress Blvd., Orlando, FL USA 32836

 The 20th Annual ISNR Conference will be held in beautiful Orlando, FL. This conference is becoming the major venue for applied neurosciences beyond our named focus of neurofeedback. In recent years presentation and workshop content were applicable to a wide variety of client populations and included the use of many neuromodulation assessment and intervention techniques including rTMS, tDCS, fMRI, EEG, QEEG, SCP, ERP and biofeedback to name only the most prominent. This past year we specifically invited presentations utilizing adjunctive modalities (e.g. biofeedback, etc) in combination with neurofeedback with great success. The conference will again feature the high quality invited and keynote speakers remarking on the latest developments from around our field. There will continue to be social opportunities to promote networking with a backdrop of the gorgeous Grand Cypress resort.
