Endogenous neuromodulation at Infra-Low Frequency
Presented by: Siegfried Othmer
Siegfried will begin with a brief review of endogenous neuromodulation in application to the infra-low frequency region. Then, he will present the current status of the clinical work, as well as the current status of published research.
This will be followed by the presentation of individual cases covering a variety of clinical conditions, as well as group data related to combat-related PTSD and TBI, complex PTSD, TBI and Tourette Syndrome. Both historical and current data on a continuous performance test that is being routinely gathered from the practitioner network will be discussed at length.
Learning Objectives:
o Participants will be able to identify the concept of endogenous neuromodulation of neurofeedback, contrasting it with the operant conditioning model.
o Participants will be able to identify what are claimed to be the two key failure modes of cerebral regulation targeted at the outset, and what is the basis for this claim.
o Participants will be able to identify which clinical domain is endogenous neuromodulation in the ILF regime likely to distinguish itself, if at all.
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.
