LEVEL II Intermediate Neurofeedback Skills Training Course

This course is designed for clinicians or individuals who have already taken an introductory course. Preferably, you should have some practice with neurofeedback and clients. It primarily uses EEG Spectrum’s EEGer system as a teaching tool. However most of the principles apply to all systems. There’s a great deal of focus on learning more about the EEG, how to better target the EEG, and a lot on protocol strategies.

We’ll also review some new trends in neurofeedback, including multi-channel coherence training, Z score training, more on qEEG based training, HEG, LENS.
