DAY 1 – SATURDAY
Intro to EEG Neurofeedback - We will show how to use neurotherapy in your practice - It is a powerful therapy for ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, seizures, head injury and peak performance. At the end of today you know about the different kinds of neurotherapy and when you would use them.
Review theoretical foundations of neurofeedback, brain anatomy and physiology, and the 10-20 system of electrode placement.
