Kursbeschreibung

The author and the lecturer on this course, Olga Kara is a neurobiologist with specialization in psychology, human neurophysiology and functional diagnostics of neurological diseases (EEG, QEEG, ERP analysis). Olga has extensive experience in the application of ILF and frequency-based neurofeedback protocols. Through this training, she will introduce us to the basics of applied psychophysiology, EEG analysis and evidence-based neurofeedback protocols. During the practicum participants will also have a chance to record an EEG and create a QEEG report.

Kursbeschreibung

This course serves as an introduction to the field of applied psychophysiology in clinical practice and explores the utilization of neurotechnological approaches in assessing brain function in clinical settings. Participants will gain practical knowledge of Functional Brain Analysis, QEEG and ERP. All participants will receive access to the Software for Neurobiological Signal Processing: WinEEG.

The course consists of one online module (divided over three weekends), plus one full day of practicum.
