Clinicians Getting into EEG, Mind Explorers, Parents...

This is the absolute, must-first-step for getting started with Neurofeedback.

The EEG Biofeedback /  Neurofeedback Foundations Course DVD or VHS Workshop

Neurofeedback is both an art and science. There are almost as many ways to go about doing it effectively as there are practitioners. We've assembled a collection of presentations by the best leaders in the field of neurofeedback, recorded live, so you can get exposure to all their different models and get the basics under your belt. Sure, you can buy a book by one practitioner or another. But believe me, the variety in the way people approach EEG brain training is huge and that means that if you only look at one perspective, you really don't know what all the possibilities are.

If you are a clinician practitioner, educator, healer...

If you are exploring neurofeedback for your or a family member's personal growth and health...

Our number one bestseller! And it Just Got Better.

17 of the Leading Speakers, Educators, Visionaries .

"...the process of neurofeedback is one hell of a lot simpler than you've heard...." Valdeane Brown

Practitioners, Clinicians, Educators

Learn the basic concepts of neurofeedback  from the masters in the field-- pioneers, leading trainers, developers, seasoned clinicians.

Here's the way we see it. 

If you are considering entering the field of neurofeedback, this is the best bargain available (especially when you throw in costs of registering for a workshop, flying to the location, hotel and meal costs and lost time seeing clients, which could easily run up to $2000-$3000.)

1) Watch the video to get an idea of which presenter(s) you would want to take a more extended training course with. You will find very, very VERY different teaching and presentation styles. Imagine spending $1000 or $800 on a course, another $500-$1500 on hotel, meals, airfare, then discovering that your presenter's voice feels like chalk on a blackboard to you. Or, imagine that you discover a presenter whose model of EEG training inspires you and motivates far beyond what you thought possible. The DVD course can help you make these discoveries and help you to make more informed, intelligent decisions.

or

If you've already taken one course, invest in  the Foundations course to see how other leaders in the field differ in their approaches to assessment, strategies for training (placements, frequencies, models, etc.), coaching, ancillary approaches and tools.

2) Watch (90% of clients invest in  the video or combination video and audio version) or listen to it before taking your first workshop or training, so you'll get a clearer idea of different perspectives of the basics. Create a basic knowledge base, so when you attend your first workshop you process the information at a higher level of understanding. You'll have better comprehension and better questions.

3) After you've benefitted from the Foundations course and your first live training course, we recommend you go to the facility of an experienced EEG biofeedback practitioner to observe a few days worth of clients-- intakes, initial, mid and late session clients. This should be followed by continued supervision.

This is a live recording of the foundations course offered at the  Annual Futurehealth Winter Brain Meeting  designed to prepare attendees for the advanced lectures which follow.  

Whether you are clinician or educator preparing to enter a career in the the field or add the skills of EEG biofeedback to your armamentarium, or a parent or adult intending to delve into the home use of neurofeedback, this course should be your first step. It's an invaluable resource you will be happy your invested in.

This is a tape of a live workshop. It is not produced in a studio, so it is not a polished production. Sometimes the camera focuses too long on the speaker and sometimes it misses screens. Nonetheless, the vast majority of purchasers have found the video to be highly valuable. We typically sell 98% DVD and 2% audio. If you are unhappy with the video, you can return it in exchange for the audio edition, with a credit for the difference in price.

Rob Kall  Brief History of Neurofeedback and biofeedback; Cats, monkeys, jets, Gaia, yogis....an overview of the early history of the field of biofeedback and neurofeedback
Sig Othmer- From Brain Models to Therapies  Neurofeedback started with a focus on brain mechanisms, and first clinical applications were to neurological conditions such as epilepsy. Over time neurofeedback came to be more and more associated with psychological/psychiatric diagnoses, and symptoms drove therapeutic approaches. Increasingly, however, evolving protocols have shed any obvious linkage with symptoms being addressed. We are returning to more purely brain-based models to define how neurofeedback is to be done. Symptom relief and performance measures are still the arbiter of clinical success, but the challenges we employ in brain-training are increasingly being derived from strictly EEG-based criteria. It is necessary, therefore, to develop an over-arching model for brain self-regulation that accounts for this state of affairs. If such a comprehensive model is possible, then we would expect it to be accompanied by a more generic, non-specific approach to brain self-regulation applicable to a broad range of disorders as well as to optimum mental fitness training. 
Joel Lubar Understanding The EEG It's Origins, It's Characteristics and Its Application for Neurofeedback- Neurotherapy.

In this foundations course I will demonstrate a number of EEG pattern characteristics that are important for the basic understanding and for application in the fields of neurofeedback and neurotherapy. EEG is an extremely complex phenomenon. Understanding neocortical dynamics, the origins of EEG and how it is recorded, analyzed and processed is of primary importance in order to utilize EEG neurofeedback techniques and neurotherapy approaches. First, I will familiarize the attendees with the basic EEG patterns such as delta, theta, alpha, beta, SMR, lambda, mu, sleep spindles, and other commonly recorded EEG characteristics.

Next I will demonstrate some of the abnormal EEG patterns associated with seizure disorders and other types of neuropathology.

This foundations course will discuss in detail the more important and somewhat more complex concepts such as harmonic analysis of EEG, phase and coherence, and their importance in understanding functional linkages within the cerebral cortex and between the cortex and the thalamus. The importance of coherence and phase will become particularly apparent in a discussion about the difference between referential and bipolar EEG montages. The relationship between phase and coherence measurements and the characteristics associated with closed head injury and possibly attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities will be discussed.

My portion of the course will also include a discussion of the different types of signal processing methodologies that are utilized in the development of neurofeedback instrumentation and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each approach. These methodologies include active bandpass filters, analog and digital filters, Fourier analysis, pattern analysis, and combined analog and digital techniques based on several of these approaches used simultaneously
