more information
This workshop, which is taught by three QEEG diplomats with diverse backgrounds, provides not only an opportunity to fulfill the QEEG Certification Board requirements, but also provides a broad and up-to-date exposure to the current state of QEEG and neurofeedback. Attendees who are seeking QEEG Board certification, as well as those who have experience in QEEG and neurofeedback will find this a comprehensive and engaging workshop, that by definition will include essential material to ensure a solid grasp of current QEEG concepts and methods.
This course satisfies the accredited didactic course requirements for QEEG Certification as arranged by the QEEG Certification Board. Attendees will earn up to 24 hours towards their QEEG certification requirements. This workshop has been approved by the QEEG Certification Board to provide didactic training which is recognized by the Board toward certification as a technician or a diplomate. The following description includes material from the QEEG board certification requirements. Workshop topics will include Editing raw EEG and artifacts Drug Effects Database Analysis Clinical and Cognitive Aspects; Montages and Spectral and Topographic Aspects of the EEG. Attendees will learn the subject inclusion and exclusion criteria for building a database .and fundamental statistical considerations within databases.
Further detailed topics will include the effects of various drugs on the EEG/QEEG data and developmental changes in the EEG and knowledge. Brodmann area functions and network connections will provide an understanding of LORETA and sLORETA interpretation and training Practical information will include knowing which EEG signatures should be referred out to other professionals Be knowledgeable about general cognitive and clinical changes that take effect after neurofeedback training based upon publications. Have a working knowledge of the montages, transforms and power displays along with the specific perspectives they can provide a reader of QEEG output. phase and coherence, how they relate and what they can mean in the interpretation of the QEEG.
This course will be taught by three QEEG Diplomates, with backgrounds in psychology medicine, counseling, and engineering. There will be extensive review of real clinical EEG data, and its interpretation and use. More than one system and database will be covered, so that attendees will learn a comparative view, rather than focusing on a single solution. Methods covered will include some of the more recently developed and available systems and services, helping attendees to be current on the latest technology .Incorporating QEEG into a clinical intake will be emphasized, by combining clinical presentation with QEEG and other physiological data, to provide a complete picture of each client’s unique clinical presentation.
