ANSA 2011 Conference Workshop
Quantitative EEG Techniques Loreta and Neurophysiological Symptom Integration for Assessment and Neurofeedback
36 hour workshop for biofeedback/neurofeedbackpractitioners, psychologists, clinical counsellors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, nurses, physicians, and other health care professionals with an interest in electroencephalography, quantitative analysis techniques, QEEG patterns of psychopathology, neurophysiological symptom integration for treatment planning and EEG operant conditioning.
Presenter:
Leslie Sherlin, PhD, QEEGD, BCN, BCB
Leslie is certified at the diplomat level in quantitative electroencephalography and is
board certified in both Biofeedback and Neurofeedback by BCIA. Additionally he has expertise in a wide variety of software applications for EEG acquisition, QEEG analysis, LORETA and bio or neurofeedback interventions.
Dr. Sherlin is an approved BCIA mentor.
Course Description:
The following content will be adapted according to the experience and knowledge of the group. The workshop focuses on multiple aspects of utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) for assessment and therapy. The technological advances in the field of human brain mapping as well as biofeedback have amalgamated to provide vast opportunities for the mental health provider to capitalize on increased efficacy in assessment and intervention.
The course will open with a brief refresher on the basic neuroanatomy and gross functions of the structures of the brain involved in the regulation of psychophysiology. This will lead into a fundamental presentation on the generation of the electrical activity of the brain in a comprehendible manner. Together this information will provide the groundwork for advanced thought in neurophysiological symptom integration with QEEG assessment.
The program will illuminate the techniques and applications of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) analysis such as continuous EEG spectral analysis, normative/reference population comparisons, independent component analysis (ICA), and low-resolution electromagnetic brain tomography (LORETA).
These techniques will be explained both in definition as well as implementation leaving the attendee with a clear understanding of the utility and the applicability of each method. The above mentioned concepts will provide a straightforward approach to interpreting and implementing QEEG information in the development of protocols for intervention.
Part 2
Days three and four of the workshop will have special emphasis on LORETA techniques beginning with an introduction to the theory and analysis and moving to an exploration of the LORETA literature and findings to date. Interpretation of data and protocol selection will follow including practical hands-on experience with conducting LORETTA neurofeedback sessions.
The concepts will be delivered through both didactic and case presentation with audience participation in a casual and experiential format.
