NEUROGUIDE WORKSHOP OUTLINE

Clinical Applications of the EEG

1^st Day - A Practical Hands on Approach: How to go from Clinical History to EEG Acquisition to QEEG Analysis (including swLORETA).  Learn about New add ons, such as the Automatic Clinical Report Writer, NeuroNavigator, Cross-Frequency Neurofeedback and the new Smart Phone/Tablet NeuroLink that allows the patient to rank the symptom check list with 10 different categories of symptoms and radar maps and line graphs to evaluate the progress of treatment.  Also, view the new Real-Time NeuroNavigator with Diffusion Tensor Imaging and the Standalone Version for Neurofeedback Protocol Generation.

2^nd Day – Review of patient’s EEG data and Hands on from EEG recording to Assessment to Z Score Biofeedback in a Single Session and New Add Ons (LORETA Coherence, LORETA Phase Differences, LORETA Phase Reset) and New Advances: Automatic Clinic Report and  Event Related Potentials and a hands on Demonstration of Surface, LORETA Neurofeedback, swLORETA Neurofeedback and BrainSurfer. 

1^st Day

1.  Start with the patient’s clinical history and symptoms and hypothesize how the brain’s localization of function properties are liked to the patient’s clinical history.

2.  Learn how to import digital EEG data and to visually examine the EEG tracings and how to recognize artifact and how to re-montage (average reference, Laplacian, Bipolar, common reference by a mouse click).

3.  Learn how to Automatically Eliminate artifact and how to  measure the Test Re-Test Reliability and the Quality of your recordings.

4.  Learn how to examine EEG traces and dynamically link visual events in the EEG tracings to the QEEG.  Learn how to avoid bias in the selections of EEG for QEEG analysis. 

5.  Learn how to eliminate the effects of medication by using the Laplacian transform.

6.  Learn how to use LORETA to confirm localization hypotheses to help link the localization of the “weak” functional systems of the brain related to the patient’s symptoms in contrast to “Compensatory” systems.  

7.  Learn how to interpret power, coherence and phase delays in terms of convergent anatomical information and again link to the patient’s symptoms.

8.  Learn how to interpret discriminant functions and to hypothesize links between the discriminant function and the patient’s clinical history.

9.  Learn how to use the Automatic Clinical Report Writer (ACR) to produce a clinic report by linking the diffuse and localized EEG measures to Brain Function and to the patient’s clinical history and symptoms.

2nd Day

1.  Review assessment and linking symptoms to dysregulation in networks of the brain.  We will record EEG and do Neurofeedback on a volunteer subject – please be ready if you want to volunteer!

2.  Bring patient EEG data to be reviewed to learn more about elimination of artifact, improved quality of recordings and how to link symptoms to the exemplar patient’s brains

3.  Learn how to immediately begin Neurofeedback in the same session using a Symptom Check List to generate functional localization hypotheses and to test the hypotheses using the patient’s QEEG Z Scores by simple mouse clicks.   

 4.  Learn how to develop an individualized neurofeedback protocol based on the strategy to minimize abnormal EEG deviations integrated with other measures including the patients clinical history and the clinician’s judgment.

5.  Use the symptom check list to hypothesize “weak” vs “compensatory” brain systems and to automatically create a 19 channel Z Score biofeedback protocol based on the match of hypothesized weak systems to deviant QEEG Z Scores.  

6.  Learn how to use BrainSurfer  – Network NFB of current density, LORETA coherence, LORETA phase differences and LORETA phase reset.

7.  Lean about new add ons such as LORETA coherence and phase and LORETA phase reset.

8.  Learn about the new automatic Clinic Report Writer.   Use your own logo and business affiliation, once the EEG artifact has been removed then launch the clinic report writer and a report will be ready to be printed in about 5 minutes.

9.  Learn about the new NeuroLink self-assessment and how to seamlessly link symptoms to dysregulation in brain networks.

10.  Learn about the NeuroNavigator for Real-Time and Assessment using over 12,000 MRI voxels and swLORETA.
