Course description

The ILF Neurofeedback Basic Course at Neurotopia offers a fantastic opportunity for clinicians wanting to add a powerful technique to their existing toolbox to achieve better clinical outcomes with their clients. 

The course is a balanced combination of theory, discussion, and practice that offers participants the chance to experience the training themselves and learn from their own Neurofeedback journey, as well as from the group. This allows practitioners to develop the necessary skills to successfully and confidently start offering the approach immediately after the course. 

Essential teaching content

This course is organized in two modules, 2 1/2 days each, three weeks apart. This makes it convenient for busy clinicians to attend the course and prepare over the 40 hours of training to use the approach with their patients. 

Module I offers insight into the history of the approach, the neurophysiological basis of Neurofeedback, and the core concepts as the foundation for the clinical work. We will examine the assessment process and how to understand brain dysregulations and their manifestations, and apply that knowledge to design individualized training protocols. As part of module I, we learn about the technology used for ILF Neurofeedback—Cygnet—and will practice using this technology throughout the course.

Module II continues a week later with discussions on developing the training protocols and interpreting training outcomes to adjust the treatment plan for better clinical results. We will continue with more in-depth talks about symptom categories and protocol developments suited

Course highlights

To support their learning, we offer new clinicians 4 mentoring hours to help increase their confidence and aid the implementation of the method into their practice.
