Jeffrey Bruno, PhD

Dr. Jeffrey Bruno is a California licensed psychologist with degrees in both Clinical Psychology (Ph.D. )and General Experimental Psychology (M.S.). His Pacifica clinic offers integrative mental health services–including the use of targeted nutrients and the use of non-invasive neurostimulation and neuromodulation techniques using light, sound, and electromagnetic rhythms to improve brain function.

Jeffrey was trained by Steven Vasquez, Ph.D., a pioneer in a chromatic, light-assisted, psychodynamic therapy called: Emotional Transformation Therapy. Jeffrey is the former director of The Center for Self-Regulation, Toledo, Ohio, where he conducted research on the use of sensory isolation “flotation” chambers and the use of biofeedback.

Co-Presenting with Anadi Martel

Presenting: “Recent Advances in Multimodal Sensory Neurostimulation”

The brain’s natural tendency to respond to dynamic sensory stimuli can be used for therapeutic purposes.Rhythmic neural activity, or brain oscillations, are involved in many brain functions including sensory processing, attention, and memory, and are evident in neuropsychiatric disorders ranging from mood disorders to schizophrenia. Can multisensory rhythmic stimulation significantly enhance transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) brainwave training? Learn about the latest theories and techniques of multimodal sensory neurostimulation, along with outcomes from a recent pilot study.

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.
