Beginners Training: The EEG Neurofeedback Practicum

Didactic training in EEG Neurofeedback is not sufficient to provide adequate instruction in the use of EEG hardware and software. Three-day hands-on practicum courses are offered to complete the student’s skill base for eventually starting a neurofeedback practice.

NeXus-10 MKII EEG amplifiers and sensors made by Mind Media are used with dual monitors to train the “clinician” and the “client” in the hands-on lab section of the course. Instruction is offered on the assessment of the brain as well as the development of neurofeedback protocols.
The NeXus Biotrace+ software platform is explained and used in daily exercises so that the student can become familiar with the user-friendly interface with NeXus equipment.

The EEG Neurofeedback Practicum is offered through StensAcademy.com.
Practicum workshops will begin in the San Francisco Bay area in the Fall of 2022.
