The Applied Neuroscience Conference was held in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, from May 17-20. I imagine that for many the experience was as singular and as epochal as the first Winter Brain Conference in Key West was for us in 1993. The Society for Applied Neuroscience chose not to have a conference every year, on the […]
March 15-18: Kona, Hawaii July 19-22: San Diego, California November 8-11: Boston, Massachusetts We are looking forward to three advanced courses scheduled for 2007. The response to our advanced courses in 2006 was enthusiastic, but many asked for another day and more time to discuss and share neurofeedback experiences. This year the advanced courses will […]
The individualization of training has had a long history in neurofeedback. It began perhaps with Joel Lubar’s choosing whether to reinforce the standard SMR band of 12-15Hz or the low-beta band of 15-18 Hz, or whether to do both in pursuit of different objectives in work with ADD/ADHD children. At our hands, it eventually became […]
Among the principal neurofeedback venues, the Winter Brain Conference has had perhaps the best shot over the years at attracting newcomers to the field with the diversity and vitality of its program. The pricing threshold was always too high to attract casual interest, however. This year, pricing was reduced along with the length of the […]
It was my hope that the Biofeedback Society of California Annual Conference would offer a favorable climate for the cross-fertilization between peripheral and EEG biofeedback that now badly needs to occur. In actual fact, the rather large program made for considerable fragmentation and splintering of the audience, as nearly everyone gravitated to their own traditional […]
A Year-End Reflection
The film “An Inconvenient Truth” with Al Gore is a chilling example of what can happen when scientific findings clash with political objective and entrenched economic interests. The science can be made to disappear even when it is impeccable and even when unanimity has been achieved within the scientific community itself. We saw the same […]
