Neurofeedback For Autism: Empirical Validation and Theoretical Framework (SKU: AG-P-042)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute presentation by Robert Coben.
This presentation will focus on empirical data and a theoretical framework from which to
understand Neurofeedback interventions for Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Our research
evaluated the efficacy of assessment (QEEG) -guided neurofeedback for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Findings included a 92% success rate with a 41.57% reduction in Autistic symptoms, which was significantly different than a wait-list control group. Neurophysiological changes included increased metabolic flow to frontal cortices and movement towards normalized QEEG connectivity. A theoretical approach for treatment of ASD focusing on aspects of EEG connectivity will be presented.
Mindfulness and Neurofeedback: Integral Treatment of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression (SKU: AG-W2-108)
Futurehealth Workshop by Al Collins
Mindfulness and neurofeedback complement one another and form the basis for a multimodal approach to psychopathology. Neurofeedback trains focal attention and a relaxed attitude; mindfulness makes the learning from neurofeedback available during daily life. In addition, mindfulness deepens and refines the attitude required for optimal learning during neurofeedback.
Tales of the "Fatherson": The Son's Rejection and Renewal of the Father in American Narrative (SKU: AG-P-216)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Al Collins
I will discuss an archetypal pattern in American fiction and film, that of the son who rebels against his father, often shaming or even killing the old man but potentially also redeeming the father and giving him new life. In Nicholas Ray's 1950s cult film classic, "Rebel without a Cause" and in Mark Twain's great novel, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" we see this archetype fully realized, but its structure can be found in most American fiction (as well as American religion, philosophy, and other aspects of culture).
Neurophysics - a unified approach to brain and mind (SKU: AH-P-331)
Futurehealth Plenary Talk by Tom Collura
Neurophysics is a label applied to an interdisciplinary pursuit of an integrated understanding of the brain and mind. It incorporates a great deal of ?old? science, but it is a new science for the future. This talk will describe the emerging concepts and paradigms, and provide a perspective for viewing the developments which may be expected during the next century. Key aspects include information theory (?high-information? physics), self-organizing systems, multidimensional field potentials, and the breakdown of classical causality.

Real-time synchronous gamma training made easy. (SKU: AG-P-119)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute plenary presentation by Tom Collura.
Gamma waves have been shown to reveal a cohesive, organized state of mind that includes binding of many perceptions into a unified whole. Richard Davidson reported seeing these rhythms in advanced meditators. This presentation will show results and describe methods for the real-time training of fast bihemispherically synchronized 40 Hz ("gamma") activity, through real-time detection and targeting of brief synchronous bursts. This method can capture single brief (e.g. less than ? second) bursts of gamma that occur very rarely (e.g. once per minute), and can clearly discern and feed back individual bursts, for training purposes. This will be related to the cortical dynamics that underly the gamma rhythm, and discussed in the context of gamma training.
Coherence, Synchrony, and the Rest: Putting it all together with 2-channel training (SKU: AG-W2-121)
Futurehealth Workshop by Tom Collura
2-channel training is used for bihemispheric (both sides of the brain) training, coherence/synchrony training, and asymmetry training. This workshop will explain the concepts of 2-channel EEG training and include practical demonstration.
Whole Brain and Couples/Group Training using EEG Connectivity (SKU: AH-W4-333)
Futurehealth Workshop by Tom Collura
This course will provide technical background and practical applications for training the whole brain using EEG feedback techniques including various measures of coherence, synchrony, and asymmetry, using a variety of methods inluding Z-score based training and BiHemiSynchronous protocols. Couples work will be covered, including joint synchrony training, group feedback, and competitive training paradigms.
Neurophysics of optimal and psi performance (SKU: AH-W2-332)
Futurehealth Workshop by Tom Collura
Neurophysics is an approach to brain and mind that incorporates concepts of energy, information, and causality. It is applicable to optimal performance and psi phenomena, as well as normal brain function. This workshop will explore specific EEG phenomena that are related to highly optimal functioning and psi phenomena (telepathy, clairvoyance, healing, etc.), as a means to detect and train these qualities using neurofeedback.
Peripheral Biofeedback with BioGraph Infiniti (SKU: AG-W1-240)
Futurehealth WinterBrain 1 hour Workshop by Didier Combatalade
Thought Technology?s ProComp/BioGraph Infiniti is a multimedia biofeedback system capable of integrating a full range of peripheral biofeedback modalities with standard EEG biofeedback practices. The workshop will demonstrate how easy it is to use physiological measures like skin conductance, temperature, respiration, heart rate from EKG or BVP (photoplethysmograph) and EMG to monitor you client?s sympathetic and parasympathetic activity and get a broader understanding of the underlying neurological physiology.
Inner Game of Leadership: Principles for Sustaining Peak Performance Under Pressure (SKU: AG-P-180)
Futurehealth WinterBrain Plenary Talk by Louis Csoka.
The ability to perform at the highest level of one's capability requires a systematic and integrated approach to training and development that combines basic principles of performance psychology and sensory feedback.
