International Conference on

Event related Brain activation and Neurofeedback

t is well known that pathologies show certain brain regions

with either increased or decreased activity. For example,

typical depression has an increased activation in the insula

according to fMRI studies. If we show negative pictures to

a person, there are specific locations in the brain that are

activated as a consequence of those stimuli (Canli et al., 2002).

The same concept workswith standardized low-resolution brain

electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) which incorporates

a mathematical inverse solution of surface EEG data to

provide cortical source localization, and generating three-

dimensional images, similar to those produced by fMRI data

(Thatcher, 2013). The negative brain activation to a stimulus

often causes problems for example with patients suffering

from depression, anxiety and PTSD. Based on those findings

we´ve created an event related Neurofeedback-Protocol

based on the stimulus and the hereby evoked brain response.

Our innovative Neurofeedback-Protocol uses precisely

time locked operant feedback and neurotherapy which is

directly related to the given stimulus and the brain response

Speaker Biography

Thomas F Feiner has more than 25 years experience as an occupational therapist and

neurotherapy He conducted and participated clinical research on QEEG and evoked

potentials and Neurofeedback since 2006. He developed computer software for testing

the auditory order threshold on regular Windows PCs and created an easy to use

stimulus presentation program for research in the field of evoked potentials and other

psychophysiologicalmeasures.HeistheclinicaldirectoroftheCenterforNeurofeedback

in Munich and established the Institute for EEG-Neurofeedback in 2008 which offers

professional education programs in the field of Neurofeedback, Quantitative EEG and

evoked potentials. Since 2017 he conducted Research on the EEG of meditators in great

study of more than 1000 subjects. He is founder and owner of Neurofeedback-Partner

GmbH and published articles about event related imaging, QEEG and Neurofeedback.

His focus is on research and development of integrated neurofeedback protocols,

event related potentials in combination with low level brain stimulation technologies.
