Attendee Stories
Testimonials
Mike is a very engaging instructor. I learned so much from him. His teaching style is lighthearted but very informative. He’s good at helping people understand complicated topics. Since taking the course I’m much more comfortable doing neurofeedback.
-Karen Flannery, M.D., Hospitalist
West Palm Beach, Florida
I took a neurofeedback course because I had read about neurofeedback in a book called The Body Keeps the Score. Reading that book was part of some investigating I was doing on alternative ways to facilitate trauma recovery. I decided that I wanted to buy a system sometime in the future, and Mike’s Neurofeedback 101 course offered a good way to familiarize myself with neurofeedback and options for equipment.

You are amazing! The days were too short. We could’ve done with another day just to get more information from you. I think you have changed our lives for the better. I am genuinely excited about the implementation of neurofeedback in my own life and in my practice. I think it is going to be life changing for me to be able to help people at this level. I hope and pray I can be as good at it as you some day.

This course applies clinical concepts using neurofeedback, a field developed over more than 30 years. Neurofeedback 101 provides foundational, practical principles for understanding brain function and applying training techniques. The material presented is based on a wide body of knowledge from professionals including psychologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and others.
Throughout the course, we emphasize the limitations of current data, the variability of individual brain responses, and the challenges in interpreting symptoms and selecting protocols. Multiple training approaches are discussed, as well as the ongoing debates within the field.
While neurofeedback has a long history of clinical use, effectiveness is not always easily defined or compared. We review assessment tools that may help guide training decisions. When used appropriately, within professional scope and ethical guidelines, neurofeedback is considered safe. The equipment discussed and databases referenced are FDA-cleared, but must be used by trained professionals.
Licensed professionals are responsible for practicing within their legal scope and professional standards. Course materials are proprietary and may not be distributed without written consent from Center for Brain.
This course is introductory and does not cover all aspects of neurofeedback. Ongoing learning is expected. Neurofeedback measures EEG activity and provides feedback to the brain; any effects are the result of the brain’s response to that feedback.
Please notify the instructor of any unusual or undesirable responses. Effects are generally short-lived. Medications should not be changed without consulting your physician. Other treatments should continue unless advised otherwise. Please inform the instructor of any significant mental or physical health conditions.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact: Pricila Vizcaino
*Systems we use include: Brainmaster, Cygnet, EEGer, LENS, infraslow, infralow, amplitude training, coherence training, and qEEG guided training.
