One-Day Introductory Course - Technical Foundations of Neurofeedback Presented by: Thomas F. Collura, Ph.D. Wednesday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
This portion of the workshop will describe the technical foundations of the practice of neurofeedback, including the neurophysiological, electronic, and computer aspects. Principles to be covered include technical characteristics, filtering, use of sound, and feedback algorithms. Each participant will have the opportunity to articulate the technical foundations of EEG neurofeedback, including neurophysiology, electronics, signal processing, and user-interfacing, and to understand specifications such as bandwidth, accuracy, and response time, in scientific and engineering terms.
Educational Objectives: The educational objectives of this course follow the outline of BCIA’s core requirements that can be viewed at the BCIA website http://www.bcia.org .
- Identify and understand the technical assumptions underlying EEG Biofeedback
- Be able to interpret amplitude, phase, frequency, and related EEG data
- Know the basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of EEG rhythms
- Have a basic understanding of activity of pyramidal cells and thalamic pacemakers
- Know essential terms/concepts for EEG biofeedback applications
- Know how to use EEG Biofeedback hardware and software
- Understand how computer systems affect EEG Biofeedback applications
This course satisfies the requirement for 8 CE hours as outlined below.
1 hours I Introduction to EEG Biofeedback-History 1 II Research 1 III Basic Neurophysiology and Anatomy 2 IV EEG & Electrophysiology 3 V Instrumentation 0 VII Treatment Planning 0 VIII Other Therapeutic Techniques 0 IX Professional Conduct
