This may be one of the most informative and single most important
neurofeedback workshops you will ever attend. Many clinicians believe that
Live Z Score neurofeedback monitoring and training is literally changing the
face of the neurofeedback industry.
Live Z Score monitoring and training is being used by clinicians all over
the world to train clients in real time and includes the guidance of the
"gold standard" NeuroGuide normative data base. Live Z Score training
offers a more comprehensive way to train coherence without the worry of over
training or under training. Learn why every clinician will want to
incorporate Live Z Score monitoring and/or training to their Neurofeedback
toolbox. Regardless if you are using Live Z Score as a "GPS system" and
new targeting strategy or to simply monitor existing classic protocol
choices you will want to learn how Live Z Score may revolutionize your
protocol choices as well as your practice.

Sunday with Dick A. Genardi, Ph.D.
Hands-on Practicum
Goal for this session is to provide the participant with the support needed to feel confident in using the information gained from Mini-Q, Discovery qEEG reports generated via Neuroguide, and JTFA generated Z score progress summary available in session reviews of Atlantis Z score training sessions. The participant will be able to use the provided materials as cognitive maps for organizing and analyzing the data which the Z-score model provides. Trust in the reliability and validity of these Z scores rests on the neurometric rigor of the Neuroguide database (FDA 510k compliant).
- Review associations of Brodmann areas (BA) with 10-20 electrode sites and Loreta Regions of Interest.
- Review handout materials mapping localization of function with 10-20 sites.
- Review handout materials on functional networks, or BA groupings or clusters. Two strategies for synthesizing the grouping of areas by function are offered. One by Dr. Tom Collura originally used in the design of the Mini-Q and NF using the Mini-Q box for rapid electrode site selections. The other strategy is known as Hub analysis, two prominent models by P. Hagmann ( 6 hubs) and Y. He (5 hubs) repectively.
- Access and become familiar with on-line brain atlas sites. Learn to access databases on brain-behavior relationships.
12:30-1:30: Lunch
- Review standard frequency bands, their neural generators, and their function in neural networks.
- Learn about basic phase relationships in neural information processing.
- Learn how amplitude, coherence and phase Z score measures aid clinical decisions when designing treatment protocols.
- Learn to use Neuroguide & Loreta for generating convergent data in mapping of patient complaints to location.
