Neurofeedback Training History in Houston

The state of Texas has played an important role in neurofeedback. Several of the important early pioneers have come from or done much of their work in Texas. Neurofeedback began to become popular once the ADHD and substance abuse protocols became popular following research by Joel Lubar on ADHD and Eugene Peniston and Paul Kulkosky on substance abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, PTSD.

 As I remember a lot of activity started around 1989. Adam Crane, who I used to work for, and a team that he assembled designed and manufactured a neurofeedback system called the CapScan. Some of the names that I remember who bought some of the early systems and began training and providing neurofeedback services include Genie Bodenhamer-Davis, Ph.D. Director, University of North Texas Neurotherapy Program, Bob Dickson – Open Door Mission, Houston, TX, Nancy White, Psychologist, PhD. I had the opportunity to provide technical support for some. Some of the growth was around providers who were using the substance abuse protocols to help people who were affected by the cocaine and crack cocaine epidemic that was happening at the time.

Since Houston is home of the Texas Medical Center which includes many of the best in medical care including Baylor College of Medicine, CHI Saint Luke’s Health, Harris Health System, and Houston Methodist, it is an ideal place for finding and cultivating new providers.
