<br />
On behalf of the BFE 2015 Program Committee, we would like to thank
everyone who took part in the BFE 18th Annual Meeting in Rome, Italy. We
hope that the conference provided you with the opportunity to make new
friends, connect with colleagues and share knowledge and expertise with
participants from around the world. We were fortunate to welcome
workshop presenters who are leaders in their respective fields, along
with a diverse group of speakers and poster presenters who addressed a
wide variety of biofeedback topics as part of the scientific program.<br />

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">From Crisis to Growth: Resilience Training with Children and Adults to Prevent Psychopathology and Build Life Skills</span></b></span><br />
<br />
I will present a preventive intervention program based on a school resilience program aimed to prepare children from kindergarten to high school to cope with daily as well as with traumatic stressors. In 2009-2014 the School Resilience Program trained thousands of teachers and counselors in Israel, to conduct resilience- and trauma-focused interventions. In children trained both before and after exposure to missiles attacks, war and natural disasters, the program was effective in reducing by 50% their symptoms of post-trauma, anxiety, nightmares, fears, school and sleeping difficulties, detachment and social withdrawal, compared with children who didn't participate in the program.<br />
We have proved the possibility and the dramatic efficiency of a preventive intervention with children done by teachers in the school setting.<br />
<br />
The program was chosen by the Israeli government for a national pilot program for the 2010-2013 school years. It is activated now in 1000 schools and kindergartens (approx. 350,000 students). An advantage of the program is the use of class setting and teachers as moderators and the use of simple but effective methods on everyday stressors, to help the children cope and process their feelings and experiences.<br />
<br />
The program integrates emotional, physiological and cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as methods of changing focus of attention (mindfulness and more) into a self regulation method. It's based on the principles of the 3rd wave of CBT and of Low Intensity CBT Intervention (LICBT-I). We have simplified therapeutic techniques into educational simple techniques that can be used by teachers and students. An interesting finding is that many of the techniques that have been created in the program were found to be very effective in our therapeutic setting by psychotherapies as well. <br />
Based on this program we have developed and implemented programs for different ages and mainly for the elderly, done by volunteers, to cope with the challenges of this age. We found out that it is never too late to build resilience!<br />

Tips and tricks for successful neurotherapy. </span></b></span><br />
<b>Piotr Sobaniec, BCIA-BCN <br />
1-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
This workshop will assist participants to understand the basic concepts of neurofeedback training protocols and possible cognitive strategies used in the treatment of children with autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD and learning disabilities. It will demonstrate how to improve clinical studies and everyday private practise with neurofeedback. <br />
<br />
Presented material is based on our experiences gained from numerous studies conducted at the Department of Pediatrics Neurology and Rehabilitation, Medical University of Bialystok, Poland and Neuromaster Centre in Białystok as well as supervising in various pedagogical and psychological clinics in Poland. Suggested approach consists of a model of cooperation between interdisciplinary therapists and conducting evidence-based therapy with QEEG and ERP analysis. Furthermore, during the workshop 10 points will be discussed that should be considered in planning successful therapy along with another 10 points about what should be avoided.<b><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Biofeedback della variabilità della frequenza cardiaca (HRV): concetti base e aspetti applicativi </span></b></span><br />
<b>Marianna Munafò <br />2-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
Negli ultimi anni, l’interesse verso lo studio e l’analisi della variabilità cardiaca è cresciuto in maniera esponenziale, sia in ambito clinico che sportivo. Il grande interesse suscitato da questo parametro fisiologico nasce dalla possibilità di impiegarlo come misura estremamente sensibile dello stato di salute fisica e psicologica dell’individuo. I diversi indici, che è possibile ottenere analizzando la variabilità cardiaca, permettono infatti di stimare, in modo non invasivo, l’attività del sistema nervoso autonomo (simpatico e parasimpatico/vagale). La possibilità, non solo di conoscere l’equilibrio dinamico delle due branche del sistema nervoso autonomo, ma anche di poterlo influenzare attraverso specifici esercizi cardiorespiratori, ha portato ben presto allo sviluppo di training di biofeedback della variabilità cardiaca. Nell’arco di due decenni, si è assistito al fiorire di numerosi studi con l’obiettivo di testare l’efficacia di tali training nel trattamento di diverse patologie (disturbi d’ansia, asma, depressione, …) ma anche in situazioni di normalità, in ambito lavorativo, sociale o sportivo, per aumentare la coordinazione dei diversi sistemi fisiologici, migliorare le performance atletiche, cognitive e di regolazione emozionale dell’individuo.<br />
<br />
Obiettivo della prima giornata del workshop sarà di definire e spiegare il significato funzionale della variabilità cardiaca, illustrando le sue origini psicofisiologiche ed i sistemi implicati nella sua regolazione. In seguito, oltre ad elencare e descrivere i principali indici di variabilità, è prevista una parte pratica in cui i partecipanti avranno la possibilità di ricavare le misure di variabilità cardiaca a partire da registrazioni eseguite in aula, in diverse condizioni.<br />
<br />
Durante la seconda giornata, verranno illustrati i concetti chiave (autoregolazione, motivazione, consegne, esercizi, …), necessari ad impostare e condurre un training di biofeedback della variabilità cardiaca. Verranno eseguite delle simulazioni di sedute, impiegando la strumentazione disponibile, al fine di sperimentare in aula la conduzione di un training.<br />

<b>Antonio Martins-Mourao, Chartered Clin. Psych., PhD<br />
1-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
What does Anxiety look like in the EEG? This workshop presents an in-depth clinical guide to the identification of neurophysiological subtypes, or EEG-phenotypes, for Anxiety disorders with the focus on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD). OCD is an anxiety-related mental health condition affecting 3% of the population. Sufferers experience frequent obsessional thoughts, often resulting in compulsions, impulses or urges. However, symptoms of OCD vary considerably from the ‘mild’ double checking of locks and appliances when leaving home, to the more compulsive hand washing, or the need to keep items symmetrical and object hoarding. You will be introduced to group data and case studies showing neurophysiological differences between subgroups with Anxiety, OCD and healthy controls, and how these differences impact the scores obtained on behavioural questionnaires like the YBOCS (OCD scale) and the MMPI-2-RF (psychopathology scale). We will also discuss how the EEG may predict the best medication for individual cases. Given that nearly half of OCD patients currently fail to respond to drug treatments (Pallanti et al., 2002; Bandelow & Ruther, 2004), this emerging approach represents a clear development from the traditional ‘one-size-fits-all’ classification of behavior solely based on diagnostic manuals such as the DSM-IV. In this 1-day workshop you will learn:<br />
<br />
(1) the basics of how to record, deartifact and interpret a QEEG recording,<br />
(2) how to identify the main EEG-phenotypes underlying Anxiety and OCD, and<br />
(3) how to design effective protocols that may predict individual response to neurotherapy and enhanced clinical outcomes within shorter periods.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Intended audience:</b></span> psychologists, psychotherapists, physicians, graduate students, neurofeedback practitioners, and other mental health care professionals with an interest in QEEG and neurofeedback integration for treatment planning.<br /><br /><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Learning objectives:</b></span> By the end of this workshop participants will have an understanding of the various neurophysiological and behavioural subtypes found in patients with Anxiety disorders and how this information may support the design personalised neurofeedback protocols for these patients.<br />

<b>Penny Werthner, PhD, Marc Saab, MEng.<br />
2-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
Penny Werthner, PhD, has, since 2006, been using the tools of biofeedback, neurofeedback, and psychophysiological assessment to complement her practice with high performance athletes and coaches. The techniques are based on quantification of the autonomic nervous system for use in a self-regulation paradigm. This offers the athlete the awareness of how their individual stress response can manifest itself physiologically, as the production of adrenaline and cortisol introduce short and long term changes in the muscles and organs of the body. With that awareness in place, the athlete can begin self-regulation training to build performance based strategies for conscious control of the underlying mechanisms. Anxiety response, mental acuity, reaction time and recovery time are fine-tuned, essentially offering the athlete tools to maximize the probability of effortless performance. Athletes learn to associate physiological markers with moments of excellence, essentially learning to enter the sought-after “zone” more quickly and for longer periods of time and to control the moments that can hinder performance. The strategies for awareness, mental and emotional preparation, performance and recovery are all addressed using similar technique, used by athletes and coaches to prepare psychologically for both the training environment and the highly stressful environment of Olympic Games and World Championships. <br /><br />This workshop will:<br /><ul>
<li>Present the underlying mechanisms of the ANS response to stress and describe the manifestation in context of elite athletic training and performance</li>
<li>allow participants to understand how to work effectively with athletes and coaches to integrate the methods in a formal training paradigm</li>
<li>delineate the key psychological skills necessary for athletes to develop</li>
<li>discuss and demonstrate relevant assessment tools and methods for use of biofeedback and neurofeedback with athletes</li>
<li>discuss the importance of including coaches in the learning process</li>
<li>utilize several case studies of Olympic medalists to illustrate how to individualize the specific training protocols</li>
<li>discuss the critical techniques required for effective transfer of the skills to the training and competitive setting</li>
</ul>

Dr. Lindsay Thornton</b><br />
<b>2-day Workshop </b><br />
<br />
<b>Abstract:</b> Psychophysiological assessment and training tools, including biofeedback and neurofeedback, are increasingly integrated with sport psychology services for elite and Olympic level athletes. This workshop will detail Dr. Thornton’s working model of a typical psychophysiology session with high performers. Demonstrations of a thorough assessment (1 ½ hours) and a brief assessment (4 minutes) will be completed. The screens, thresholds, reward guidelines and timing of training will then be presented. Elite athletes (as compared to clinical populations) learn to quickly control states such as focusing, calming, and quieting the mind. The skills to be used within the performance (cue words, intention, quieting, parking, etc.) will be matched with the desired psychophysiological states. How to prioritize and incorporate the office skill training with the actual performance needs will be illustrated with examples from several different sports. In this workshop, examples of the assessment-to-training plan development will be reviewed with an emphasis on the transfer of self-regulation skills to a high pressure competitive environment. Case studies with Olympic level athletes using including QEEG, neurofeedback and biofeedback will be shared. The goal of how to provide and tailor real time feedback to athletes regarding shifts in physiological states and enhance their mastery of state regulation will be demonstrated. The use of other technologies in the assessment and development of wellbeing and performance of athletes will be discussed.</div>

<b>Annette Booiman, PT</b><br />
<b>1-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
In this workshop, we will explore the use of practical exercises for daily life and what the changes will be in the EMG recordings when these simple daily activities are execute well. The workshop will be partly theoretical and partly practical and focus on a good posture and effective muscle functioning combined with breathing techniques. The participants will practice the techniques by themselves during the workshop and learn how to implement the exercises into their own or their clients everyday life. The EMG or other biofeedback signals will guide the activities and give more information about the advantages of a good posture and movements, exercises and attention. <br />

<b>5-day Workshop </b><br />
<b>Drs. Lynda and Michael Thompson</b> <br />
<br />
This workshop is designed to train professionals to effectively carry out basic Neurofeedback (NFB) and Biofeedback (BFB) interventions in order to optimize the performance of their clients or to ameliorate the symptoms of a variety of disorders that have been shown to respond to the combination of NFB and BFB. The material covered in the workshop meets the requirements of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance for the didactic knowledge portion of their certification process. (For the full certification requirements, see www.bcia.org.) We will cover the basics and also introduce participants to more advanced methodologies, including LORETA NFB, z-score training, and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Designing interventions that are based on integrating knowledge of clinical symptoms, knowledge of functional neuroanatomy, and knowledge of quantitative EEG analysis will be emphasized. Demonstrations will augment the lecture material. <br />
<br />
1st Day: Introduction to Neurofeedback including scientific basis for NFB, basic terms & definitions, understanding the EEG, origin of the EEG, montages, removing artifacts, single channel assessment, learning theory (operant & classical conditioning) as it applies to NFB, designing training sessions, tracking results. <br />
<br />
2nd Day: Psychophysiological stress assessment, how to effectively run neurofeedback sessions that combine NFB with heart rate variability and other biofeedback variables. Case examples will include ADHD, learning disabilities, seizure disorders, and anxiety. <br />
<br />
3rd Day: Basic Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology will be covered to provide the neurophysiological and neuroanatomical rationale for combining HRV with NFB to improve performance in executives and athletes and assist people who have had a concussion. The third day will cover international 10-20 sites and their relation to Brodmann Areas (BA’s), the basics of understanding functions of BAs and neural networks, and an explanation of Brain Maps & LORETA. Case examples will be used extensively.<br />
<br />
4th Day: Assessment and treatment of disorders such as Depression, Anxiety and Panic Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Tourette’s Syndrome, Asperger’s and Autistic Spectrum Disorders, plus other problems as requested by participants. <br />
<br />
5th Day: Review of other required material from the BCIA Blueprint of Knowledge such as basic statistics, research design, levels of efficacy based on research, data bases, slow cortical potentials, evoked potentials (ERPs), medication effects, adjunctive techniques and ethics. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Basics of the ClinicalQ Database and Braindriving</span></span></b><br />
<b>Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D.</b><br />
<b>1-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
Neurotherapy is rapidly evolving into a primary care option for many disorders. Problems with mood, anxiety, sleep quality, learning, cognitive processing, pain, addictions, anger management, and age related memory are all amenable to rapid assessment and treatment. The assessment procedures are simple and straight forward involving assessment of a limited number of brain sites. Treatment options other than neurofeedback have been developed to markedly accelerate neurotherapy. These complementary techniques markedly facilitate neurotherapy as a viable primary care alternative to dangerous and often ineffective pharmaceuticals. <br />
<br />
The workshop starts with the precise ClinicalQ assessment procedure that determines treatment strategies. Emphasis is on Braindriving treatment procedures including review of major unconditioned stimuli required for treatment. Other treatment options including neurofeedback, AVS, CES, energy psychology methods, craniosacral manipulations, harmonic sounds, electrostimulation, and behavior therapies appropriate for a wide range of disorders are presented. Practitioners will be able to immediately apply these efficient techniques. Conditions that require full QEEG and normative data base procedures will be identified as will conditions in which the more aggressive treatments are contraindicated.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Neurotherapeutic Treatment of Depression</b></span></span><br />
<b>Paul D. Swingle, Ph.D.</b><br />
<b>1-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
Neurotherapy has been shown to be very efficient for treatment of the many forms of “depression.” Most important, EEG assessments based on clinical normed data bases precisely identifies the various forms of this condition and critically identifies those conditions that are mistakenly treated as depression. Severe anxiety, for example, has a very different neurological profile from depression but clients often report “depression” because their lives are in shambles as a result of disabling anxiety. <br />
<br />
Many clinical clients also have histories of emotional trauma and many also present for treatment as a result of on-going or recent traumatic stress. The ClinicalQ assessment helps identify those conditions that may be more efficaciously treated with therapies other than those neurologically based.<br />
<br />
The ClinicalQ EEG intake assessment is remarkably accurate for identifying clients with unresolved post-traumatic stress, endogenous predispositions to depression or anxiety as well as other conditions that mimic “depression.” Combining the EEG markers for “trauma” with endogenous neurological conditions that affect manifestation of depression provide guides for neurotherapeutic treatment. <br />
<br />
The workshop reviews the diagnostic procedures for identifying the neurological conditions associated with the client’s symptoms as well as identifying the neurological “foot-print” for exposure to severe emotional stressors that have not been resolved. <br />
<br />
Neurotherapy is not a stand-alone treatment modality. The second portion of the workshop, therefore, focuses on the combination of neurotherapy, particularly braindriving technology, with other therapeutic procedures for very effective treatment of the wide array of clinical conditions that are the basis for clients seeking treatment for “depression.” <br />

<b>Dr. Erik Peper<br />
2-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
The workshop focuses upon integrating biofeedback and somatic feedback with self-healing skills embedded within an evolutionary developmental perspective. The components include assessing the person from a holistic perspective (e.g., diet, movement, internal self-talk, social support, and circadian patterns) and identifying the chained behavior. The workshop includes assessment of dysfunctional respiration and motor patterns, training in effortless breathing with scalene/trapezius and transverse abdominis SEMG, respiratory strain gauges and blood volume pulse. The somatic biofeedback includes movement patterns, visual and kinesthetic imagery, touch, cognitive and postural strategies to reduce dysfunctional patterns and optimize health. Participants will learn to recognize and experience subtle dysfunctional illness promoting patterns such as those triggered by the startle response and defense reaction, breath holding, gasping, absence of pelvic floor movement, and hyperventilation. Applications of this integrated approach has been demonstrated to reverse numerous illnesses such as vulvodynia, test anxiety, epilepsy and eczema. The workshop includes self-practices, physiological monitoring, demonstrations and strategies to teach clients.<br />

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Biofeedback in the Treatment of Insomnia</span></b></span><br />
<b>Lothar Niepoth, Dipl. Psych.</b><br />
<b>1-day Workshop</b><br />
<br />
Approximately 8 million people are suffering from psychophysiologic (non-organic) sleeping disorders in Germany – how can Bio- and Neurofeedback be used in the treatment of sleeping disorders? <br />
<br />
This one-day-workshop aims at introducing the participants to the basics of sleep disorders, like classification, common diagnostic tools, sleep architecture and relevant comorbidities. Furthermore, you will learn basic knowledge about standard treatment and medication. <br />
<br />
There are some sleep disorders that are of special interest to Bio- and Neurofeedback- practitioners thus we will focus on: <br />
<ul>
<li>Psychophysiological Insomnia </li>
<li>Inadequate Sleep Hygiene </li>
<li>Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders </li>
</ul>
and differentiate from: <br />
<ul>
<li>Insomnia associated with medical disorders </li>
<li>Insomnia associated with substance-related addiction </li>
<li>RLS, Apnea, Narcolepsy </li>
</ul>
When it comes to Biofeedback, a muscle relaxation training of own devising will be presented and trained. <br />
<br />
Lots of research has also proven the efficacy of Neurofeedback in the treatment of sleeping disorders – we will discuss the latest study results and practice the implementation of SMR training, theta training and training of sleep spindles. Participants may exercise electrode placement following AASM and detecting common artefacts. Depending on the needs of the participants a digression to brain mapping in diagnostics can be offered. <br />
<br />
In recent years, more and more devices have been developed which make an outpatient analysis of one’s EEG-pattern during sleep possible. The pros and cons of those devices will be outlined and discussed.<br />
<br />

<b>Ralf Nickel w/ Dr. Nadine Herzig<br />2-day Workshop </b><br />
<br />
Based on the knowledge that the central nervous system (cns) has long term structural repair capability, alternate cell structures can be utilized to take the functional place of damaged or destroyed cells. The cns also has the possibility of establishing neuro-networking in different ways which is known as neuroplasticity or cortical remapping. This type of neuroplasticity is the basis of our daily biofeedback work in neurological rehabilitation and also in neurofeedback procedures when used properly with operant conditioning paradigms. Evidence from our laboratory founded in 2002 and others world wide, have clearly shown that operant conditioning procedures for learned control of specific neurophysiological responses can lead to significantly greater utilization of surviving cns tissue after damage caused by strokes, brain injuries, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injuries, even after years. This workshop will focus on the important variables that clinicians need to understand in order to have most effective functional outcomes from their biofeedback procedures in treating neurological patients.<br />

<br />
Neurofeedback is a fast progressing treatment method. The scope of pathologies and non-pathologies being treated with neurofeedback is likewise growing steadily. A key downside of current standard neurofeedback training is the lengthy treatment periods. I.e. in ADD patients, standard number of sessions often exceeds 40 weekly trainings. <br />
<br />
This work describes a different approach to neurofeedback treatment. It is based on the concept of nIR-based HEG therapy as proposed by Toomin and others. The key target groups here are ADD/ADHD children, dyslexic children and children with other forms of learning disorders. Providing clients with a rather compact structure of HEG based neurofeedback training with several sessions per day over a duration of one or two weeks each appears to have similar if not better effects on clients than a lengthy form of therapy. The overall aim of this approach is to provide children and youth with limited concentration and endurance with a treatment they can more easily cope with and perceive as successful in a fast and convincing way.<br />

Case studies to illustrate Z-score concepts will be provided. Participants are also welcome to bring case presentations to the discussion of training and assessment strategies. This is a hands-on course and participants will have the opportunity to practice setting up a feedback session. <br />
<br />
The workshop is appropriate for beginning and intermediate attendees.<br />

Depending upon the person, the problem, the need, they rely on a “mix” of peripheral biofeedback, neurofeedback, and other innovative brain technologies to regulate and balance the LD brain. As educators and performance coaches, they weave these throughout the day into the framework of their content-oriented tutoring or coaching programs.<br />

<b><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: large;">Biobehavioral Considerations in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Headache Disorders</span></span></b><br />
<b>Steven M. Baskin, Ph.D.</b><br />
<b>2-Day Workshop</b> <br />
<br />
This workshop is an in-depth clinical guide to the many advances in the diagnosis and management of migraine, cluster headache, tension-type headache and their many variants. The workshop will first provide the participants with a thorough overview of the basic headache diagnostic interview. It will then explore the pathophysiology of the different disorders integrating neurochemical, physiological, behavioral, and psychological perspectives. Pharmacological, psychophysiological, and behavioral treatment alternatives will be reviewed in relation to both clinical effectiveness and underlying pain mechanisms. The workshop will help the biofeedback and neurofeedback therapist understand the basics of successful headache diagnosis and treatment and better communicate with the medical community. Behavioral and psychophysiological protocols will be thoroughly discussed. Chronic daily headache and chronic migraine will be extensively examined including the transformation process from episodic to chronic headache. Issues of psychiatric co-morbidity will be explored. Numerous cases will be presented to help the learning process. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Learning Objectives: </b></span><br />
1) Learn how to perform a headache diagnostic interview to make an informed diagnosis.<br />
2) Describe the clinical symptoms and mechanisms of the primary headache disorders. <br />
3) Recognize the signs and symptoms of dangerous headaches.<br />
4) Outline behavioral, biofeedback, neurofeedback and pharmacologic treatment alternatives.<br />
5) Consider the issues of psychiatric comorbidity and medication overuse<br />
