This workshop is designed for teaching BCIA’s 15-hour Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback didactic blueprint, along with an additional hour of combining biofeedback with neurofeedback (using a modular approach). Emphasizes hands- on training and mastery of entry-level knowledge!

This innovative seminar is designed to teach clinicians biofeedback fundamentals and cutting-edge applications. This program covers all 48 hours of the BCIA Didactic Biofeedback Education requirement through powerful demonstrations of biofeedback and adjunctive procedures, imaginative hands-on lab exercises with multi-channel computerized equipment, professional multimedia presentations, and comprehensive review materials. This program integrates personal hands-on training with equipment with didactic presentation.

This competency based curriculum includes practical, easily learnable strategies which may be used with virtually all of the most common EEG Neurofeedback applications. Designed to give the practitioner the knowledge and tools needed in order to rapidly achieve clinical and economic success in EEG Neurofeedback, this program emphasizes those neurofeedback adjunctive applications for which there is the greatest demand, including but not limited to: ADD / ADHD / Conduct Disorder & other Learning disabilities, Autism Disorders, Substance Abuse, eating disorders and addictive behaviors, PTSD, Multiple Personality Disorder, Depression, Behavioral and Stress Related Disorders, Anxiety / Panic Attacks, Pain Management, Chronic Pain, headaches (Migraine and Tension), RSD, Fibromyalgia, Phantom Limb etc., Adult and childhood sleep disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke Rehabilitation, Dementia (non-Alzheimer's), Epilepsy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and MindFitness® Life / Performance Enhancement.

Whether you’re looking to become familiar with neurofeedback or expand your existing knowledge, this course serves as a guide to navigating basic steps that will improve and enhance your practice. This program not only explores the use of neurofeedback software and equipment, but also brings to light current research and treatment techniques that have ensured positive changes in clients and benefited clinicians worldwide. It is also the only course that introduces database guidance and live Z-score training! Practitioners seeking BCIA certification can also earn up to 36 credit hours if they attend the full course!

This intermediate/advanced workshop trains clinicians to use VR systems and physiological monitoring in order to facilitate successful exposure based treatment of PTSD, including combat and civilian in origin. The theory and practice of inducing graded exposure with minimal, moderate and high arousal and training in arousal control as facets of Virtual Reality Therapy will be the centerpiece of the training.

The CYPSY Conference began in 1996 and featured presentations dealing mainly with conceptual matters, ‘what ifs’ and the future possibilities of healthcare and technology. The conference largely focused on Virtual Reality, but has now grown to be more inclusive of other interactive technologies and to include presentations that demonstrate controlled clinical trials. It has also grown to include the investigation of social networking tools on individual behavior, society, and interpersonal relationships.

CYPSY20 includes presentations in Virtual Reality , Games for Health, Augmented and Mixed Reality, Avatars, Shared Virtual Worlds, Video Game Virtual Reality (VGVR), mobile health and other emerging applications.

In this workshop, we aim to challenge some of the assumptions regarding social media that are implicit in the research methods, measurement instruments, and sampled populations used to acquire data. The issues we raise also have implications for e-therapy practice and the interpretation of data relating to the efficacy of e-therapy.

We will examine:

Types of data available via social media and online spaces
Assumptions about context of, content in, and audience for online public and private communications
Visual versus textual forms of communication
Validity of psychological measurements used in cross-disciplinary research
Relationship between psychological research and psychological therapies
We will also run a hands on session on biofeedback (heart-rate variability) as a therapy and as a research tool.
