Co-Presenting with Mitchel Sadar

Presenting: “Avoiding Extinction: Harnessing Biofeedback and ERPs to Advance Neurofeedback/Neuromodulation”

This lecture will address the challenges faced by the field of neurofeedback/neuromodulation, which has experienced limited growth compared to other therapeutic modalities such as DBT and EMDR. The speaker will discuss the need to lower barriers to entry and appeal to decision-makers to foster growth in the field.

The lecture will explore the potential of peripheral biofeedback as a low-cost, scalable introduction to biofeedback, serving as an entry point to neurofeedback and neuromodulation. Additionally, the speaker will highlight the importance of utilizing event-related potentials (ERPs) derived from EEG, which are more acceptance in the medical and neuroscientific communities due to their extensive research base. Attendees will gain insights into strategies for revitalizing the field of neurofeedback/neuromodulation and increasing its mainstream acceptance.

Education Level: INTERMEDIATE

Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above.  For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
