Improvements in the effectiveness and efficiency of Neurotherapy through the use of the Hilbert-Huang Transform in Neurodiagnostics and biofeedback practice
11:30-13:00 Protocol Forum Moderator Dr Moshe Perl
What neurofeedback protocols work for you? What protocols don't? We want to know. Come and share your experience, and listen to other folks' experiences with neurofeedback. In the process we'll have a lot of fun and pick up a few pointers from each other on becoming more successful practitioners. If there is a need for didactic pieces, they will be short. The topics we cover will depend on what you bring in. Anything in your neurofeedback world is fair game.

Topics
Optimizing the Brain's Performance, Dr. Leslie Sherlin
A basic introduction to QEEG –brain diagnostics and Neurofeedback for ‘healthy’ individuals as well as those with symptoms and illustrate using many or professional athletes. Presentation will have lots of videos. Suitable for the general public and beginners professionals
Brain Health and the Gut, Dr. Jacques Duff
Recent research suggests that intestinal bacteria have an indirect but observable effect on human stress-related anxiety responses, the general health of nerve and muscle cells, and ultimately brain development.
Working Memory Training, Nerida Saunders
Building the core cognitive capacity as a prerequisite for academic success, and remediation of Attention Deficits.
Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback is a conceptually simple and elegant method of training the brain to improve its efficiency.
Brain Diagnostics
You will learn about the different ways in which brain wave profiles can begin to be interpreted and understood by everyone.
Brain-Based Interventions for ADHD, Autism and Learning Disorders
A range of interventions will be discussed, with specific examples arising from your input during the Expo
The Neurobiology of Mindfulness, Dr. Leon Petchkovsky
The capacity to track inner experience is severely damaged in people who had bad early nurturing (Reactive Attachment Disorder). Most meditation systems train mindfulness by beginning with concentration exercises (like tracking the breath...) which then allows the trainee to bring a sharper awareness to other experiences. A range of reports suggest that, for damaged students, a lot of emotional support and "loving kindness" training is needed to supplement Mindfulness Training.
Recent brain imaging studies suggest that the brain pathways which we use for mindfulness practices are the same pathways used for empathy. In short: If you can track yourself well, then you can track others well, and vice versa.
This presentation will review recent neurological advances in our understanding of mindfulness and empathy.
Brain Fitness and Neurocognitive Enhancement
An overview of the main commercial products available, as well as practical considerations in the choice and use of various systems.
