ABOUT THIS TRAINING:

The NeuroField Bootcamp Training is more than just a refresher for clinicians who have completed previous training. This 5-day seminar is designed to get clinicians and technicians up to speed on the use of noise (pink/ brown/white) in the clinical application of stimulation, using photobiomodulation, and enable each participant to create their own customized protocols for their clients. Additionally, this deep dive goes beyond simple EEG and QEEG analysis into the advanced techniques of Independent Components Analysis and Event-Related Potential testing in our EEG and ERP software, for a higher level of applied computational neuroscience.

Designed with clinicians of all levels in mind, this course will teach multiple techniques and procedures through didactic lectures and hands-on training.

Presented by: 

Nicholas Dogris, PhD, QEEG-D, BCN is a psychologist who has been working in the EEG field for over 32 years. He is the CEO of Neurofield, Inc, and a licensed psychologist who runs a clinic in Santa Barbara with his wife. He is board certified in neurofeedback and holds a QEEG-D certification. Dr. Dogris was originally trained in neurofeedback by Margaret Ayers in the 1990’s and would go on to learn about many different EEG platforms over the years. In 2007, he co-founded NeuroField, Inc with Brad Wiitala and developed the first EEG synchronized pEMF stimuatlion that utilized z score data analysis and real time feedback. Dr. Dogris and Brad Wiitala went on to develop many other innovations over the past 10 years including synchronized tDCS, tACS, tRNS and advanced pink noise stimulation in the new NeuroField64 software platform.

Financial Interest Disclosure: Dr. Dogris owns NeuroField, Inc. Dr. Dogris is an associate of The School of Neurotherapy, which hosts the NeuroField Bootcamp 5-Day Immersion Training; NeuroField, Inc. may potentially benefit financially from the research findings presented therein.

Tiff Thompson, PhD, QEEGD, BCN, LMFT is a clinical neuroscientist, licensed therapist, educator, and technologist. She is the founder and owner of the Santa Barbara clinic, NeuroField Neurotherapy, where she offers quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG)-based functional brain consulting to clinicians.

Tiff has served as the Executive Director of the Western Association of Biofeedback and Neuroscience. She holds two master’s degrees, one in Depth Counseling Psychology and another in Rhetoric. She has a PhD in Psychology; her dissertation was on the intersection of psychodynamic psychology model of the psyche and electroencephalography (EEG). She is board certified in neurotherapy and a licensed diplomate of quantitative EEG. She teaches neuromodulation and neurofeedback courses nationally and internationally for NeuroField, Inc. with her husband, Nicholas Dogris. She also organizes and hosts a yearly conference in Santa Barbara for neurotherapy practitioners.

Level:

Introductory

Content is designed for psychologists who may have little to no background in a specialized skill or content area. Through this level of programming, the learner can become acquainted with the theoretical underpinnings, principles, methods, and perspectives of a content area. An introductory level program also may serve as the foundation for subsequent intermediate and advanced learning. Introductory level programming may also be related to an emerging area of knowledge or practice. Although this content can be used as a foundation for more advanced learning, an introductory level program may simply focus on breadth, enrichment or general knowledge.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) STATEMENT: ADA accommodations will be made in accordance with the law. If you require ADA accommodation, please indicate what your needs are at the time of registration. We cannot ensure the availability of appropriate accommodations without prior notification. 

GRIEVANCE POLICY: The Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists. AAPB will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of the Education Chair in consultation with the members of the continuing education committee, the AAPB Ethics Chairperson, Continuing Education (CE) Committee Chairperson, Program Planning Committee Chairperson, and/or the Conference Chairperson. While AAPB goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which come to the attention of the convention staff which require intervention and/or action on the part of the convention staff or an officer of AAPB. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances. 1. When a participant, either orally or in written format, files a grievance and expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken. If the person toward whom the grievance is directed is also the instructor or a chair of any of the above-mentioned committees, the AAPB Board of Directors will appoint a Board representative to oversee the resolution of any of the participant complaints, in an effort to avoid any and all conflicts of interest. If the grievance concerns a speaker, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put his/her comments in written format. The CE Chair will then pass on the comments to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the grieved individual. 2. If the grievance concerns a workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the convention chair will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the convention chair will: a) attempt to move the participant to another workshop or b) provide a credit for a subsequent year's workshop or c) provide a partial or full refund of the workshop fee. Actions 2b and 2c will require a written note, documenting the grievance, for record keeping purposes. The note need not be signed by the grieved individual.  3. If the grievance concerns an AAPB CE program, in a specific regard, the CE Chair will attempt to arbitrate.
