Disclaimer

This course reflects neurofeedback decision tree process and protocol selection based upon current knowledge in the field. Any given protocol may have an undesirable effect on a particular client. It is the responsibility of the clinician to evaluate the client, and if problems arise, to re-evaluate the client and/or seek consultation from another practitioner, to remediate these effects.

 

Release of Liability

During the practicum portion of the training course, you will have the opportunity to experience a session of neurofeedback. This session will occur without the full evaluation and assessment that is normally done in a clinical environment. Your participation is voluntary and is part of the learning experience. Although it is intended that the training be beneficial and positive, and usually is, since every person is different, we cannot guarantee that you won’t experience physical or emotional effects from the training which may be undesirable or unpleasant. By registering for this course, you release The Institute for Applied Neuroscience (IAN), EEG Learn, EEG Education & Research Inc. (EEGER), their shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, successors and assigns, from any and all claims, suits, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of or related in any matter whatsoever to any neurofeedback session received during the training and/or the neurofeedback training received by you.

Practice Recommendation

As stated in the training course, you are strongly advised to undertake a period of self-training prior to using the techniques learned in this course in clinical practice. It is strongly recommended you work with neurofeedback and apply what you learned in the course to yourself, and perhaps family members and friends to gain understanding and competence in the application of this technology before commencing to train clients. We also recommend that you seek advice from experienced neurofeedback clinicians to support you during your learning process. Experience has shown that a practitioner will have much greater confidence in using these techniques if these guidelines are followed.

Neurofeedback in a Clinical Practice (December 2024)

Join Dr. Ed Hamlin For This Four-Day Introductory Course on Neurofeedback

This in-person introductory training course presents a comprehensive approach to the clinical neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback). Through didactic presentations and hands-on training over four days, students will learn the practical and therapeutic skills necessary to begin using this powerful modality in a clinical capacity.

In-Person Training | Hamilton, NJ
Dec 12th - 15th, 2024

In this course you will learn a comprehensive approach to the clinical application of the neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) modality. This intensive in-person four-day course is a combination of didactic presentations and hands-on training.

Hands-on practicum are conducted each of the four days. Neurofeedback systems are provided for practice by attendees.

Upon completion of the course, attendees will have gained a clear overview of the capabilities of the neurofeedback process, how to evaluate clients with respect to its possible use, how to choose an appropriate neurofeedback protocol and implement it on computerized instrumentation, and how the process might be used in their individual practices. We recommend additional courses and clinical mentoring following this introductory course.

The course includes pre-course reading materials from selected professional texts. It is important that you give adequate time to familiarize yourself with this material. It will help you gain more from the course.

For in-person courses, the course fee does not included meals, lodging or transportation.

Intended Audience: clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, physicians, nurses, educational therapists, clinical social workers, counselors, rehabilitation specialists and academic researchers in neurophysiology and biofeedback practitioners who have little or no background or experience with neurofeedback, it is also a good refresher course for current neurofeedback practitioners.

What People Are Saying:

For psychotherapists seeking to help improve their clients' emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning (and perhaps their own!) with neurofeedback, I recommend learning from Ed Hamlin. Ed is both a clinical and neuropsychologist with broad and deep experience in both fields. Perhaps even more importantly, he is an excellent teacher. His hands-on neurofeedback courses are accessible, thought-provoking and clinically informed. They deserve their reputation for excellence.
