Mini-Q with Intermediate/Advanced Applications

Health care professionals will be trained in the art of QEEG data
acquistion with EEG recording caps as well as intermediate/advanced
neurofeedback applications. The advantages of "z" score training will be explored and demonstrated. Group mentoring hours will be available for certification candidates with case studies.


Participants are professional health care providers who meet the
following prerequisites:

1. Minimum of 6 months neurofeedback training experience.
2. If you are bringing equipment, downloaded latest upgrade (either 2.5
or 3.0) of BrainMaster software with laptop (additional works stations
will be be available for those who do not as yet have miniQ or
BrainMaster software or equipment)
3. Bring MiniQ equipment, software and EEG recording caps unless you are coming to learn how to acquire data via EEG recording caps. (Extra caps will be available at seminar)
4. Most participants will experience a miniQ assessment and analysis.
6. If you are interested in acquiring BCIA group mentoring hours
on the third day, you must bring in your own case studies along
with de-identified client EEG data and protocols.

<Lunch is included in your tuition fee for all three days>

Monday (9:00am- 5:30pm):

Equipment orientation:

Tom Collura; QEEG concepts and history as well as orientation for MiniQ
use with BrainMaster software. Basic QEEG analysis theory. Absolute
vs. Relative, Coherence, Butterworth filtering, Ratios, whole brain
analysis with 12 International 10-20 sites. "Z" score training will be reviewed and demonstrated.

Lunch 12:30pm - 1:00 pm

Data acquisition theory and demonstration:

John Demos: DCN-128 REFERENCING database software will be used and
participants will observe EEG recording cap fitting. Students will be
introduced to protocol selection based upon neurology, symptoms and
miniQ data. One or more students will receive a comprehensive miniQ
analysis.

Tuesday (9:00am- 5:30pm):
Lunch (12:30-1:30)

MiniQ Practicum and Part I of protocol development:

Participants will be trained to properly fit EEG recording caps and to
reduce artifacts during EEG acquisition.
Having miniQ data empowers the clinician to create a variety of
effective neurofeedback protocols. Starting from the basics of protocol
development more challenging protocols will be created such as
Two-channel amplitude & squash training, Coherence training,
Variability, Peak Frequency, Ratio and asymmetry training settings.
Bandwidth tweaking will also be demonstrated.

Wednesday (9:00am- 5:30pm):
Lunch (12:30-1:30)

Part II of protocol development:

Continuation of discussion on protocol development based on case
studies and application. Training issues will also be considered.

Mentoring:

Individual case studies and questions from group participants. Those
seeking BCIA certification will find this question and answer discussion
vital to their progress as neurofeedback providers. Please bring in
actual assessment and training data to be shared with the group. All
confidential client information must be de-identified. Certificate
candidates will be asked to sign a mentoring contract.
