PY 743 - Neurobiofeedback II


Prerequisite(s): PY 742  . This course teaches the student how to use biofeedback techniques in the very specialized field of neurobiofeedback. Neurobiofeedback requires an understanding of brain dysfunctions as defined by quantitative EEG findings; generally, the therapeutic goals will be defined by these features. The training structure of this course is modeled after the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America’s certification requirements. In addition to basic neuroanatomy, physiology, and pharmacology, the students will learn how to use the equipment and conduct therapeutic sessions. Students will learn how to develop individualized patient treatment plans based on clinical data. They will also study the enhancement and suppression of brain frequencies in different brain locations. Lab required. (3 credits)
