Presenting: “From Neuronal Circuitry of Psychiatric Disease to Neuromodulation”
A substantial amount of empirical data obtained from MRI, fMRI, QEEG, and ERPs provides a foundation for delineating the neuronal circuitry underlying psychiatric conditions. This circuitry comprises fundamental elements, including both cortical and subcortical brain structures, such that damage to any individual element or connections between the elements can disrupt the functioning of the entire circuit. The components of QEEG and ERPs across various functional tasks serve as neuromarkers for these dysfunctions. Additionally, they establish connections between QEEG/ERP components, brain dysfunction, and neuromodulation protocols, such as neurofeedback, tDCS, TMS, and photobiomodulation. The presentation is based on 25 years of the author’s experience in the field of clinical neuroscience, which has resulted in the publication of over 100 peer-reviewed papers and 7 books. It encompasses reviews of brain dysfunctions associated with psychiatric disorders, functional neuromarkers, and neuromodulation protocols in conditions such as ADHD, ASD, schizophrenia, OCD, and depression.
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.
