Advanced BioGraph® and MultiTrace® Tutorial (4 hours\ WS) -
Louise E. Marks, M.S., O.T.R., BCIAC Biofeedback and EEG Neurofeedback
Maximize the use of your BioGraph or MultiTrace software. Screen construction, criterion setting, protocol building, and other advanced features will be addressed. There will be some laptops available. However, to insure maximum learning, if possible bring your own laptop. The items listed in the workshop outline will be covered, as much as time allows. Workshop participants are expected to know the basic operations of BioGraph and MultiTrace software (recording a session, selecting and running a protocol, on the fly controls).
Learning Goals:
-
- The details of display screen construction will be mastered.
-
- The rudiments of protocol development will be introduced.
-
- Participants will know how to make specialized data channel files.
-
- AV Needs: Projector for PowerPoint presentation and live demonstrations.

BIO Louise Marks holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Boston University. She has worked as an occupational therapist in both rehabilitation and psychiatric settings, beginning her specialization in biofeedback in 1987. She is BCIA certified in biofeedback and EEG neurofeedback. In San Diego, Louise headed the Applied Psychophysiology Laboratory at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation ( La Jolla), where she developed and supervised applied psychophysiology and biofeedback programs for the treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence, chronic pain syndromes (levator ani, vulvodynia, headaches, fibromyalgia,, etc.), and sleep disorders. She has also worked as a consultant to Sharp Pain Treatment Center (San Diego) and Scripps Comprehensive Outpatient Center (Chula Vista), helping them to establish programs for elimination disorders and chronic pelvic pain syndromes. At the California Professional School of Psychology (San Diego) she has taught courses and workshops in EEG neurofeedback and behavioral treatments for bowel/bladder disorders and pelvic pain. Louise currently resides in Boulder, Colorado where she designs biofeedback software, offers consultation and training workshops to health care providers, and maintains a limited private practice. "As a biofeedback/neurofeedback therapist, I work primarily as an educator and coach. Since understanding is a vital and essential aspect of gaining control or mastery, I spend considerable time explaining physiological functions and the rationale for biofeedback and behavioral treatment approaches. As a coach, I assist in the often silent trial-and-error search for the inner mechanism which brings forth the desired outcome. These special moments of inner discovery and connection can be extremely exciting, fruitful, and often just plain fun."
