Neurofeedback Training,New York

Neurofeedback training is available from many providers in some parts of New York but still is not widely available in other parts of the state. Manhattan has several providers. There are some in Westchester County and others in Long Island and Queens. They are much more rare in other areas like Upstate New York.

Some resources for finding providers include the Northeast Regional Biofeedback Society (nrbs.org), The Association for Applied Psychophysiology & Biofeedback (aapb.org) and the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (bcia.org) Each website has a listing of providers that you can search by region. These can be an excellent resource for people looking for providers of neurofeedback training in New York as well as for professionals considering becoming a provider. They can see where there is more competition and where there is more need and opportunity.

Neurofeedback training can be provided by licensed medical and mental healthcare providers who have the proper additional education and experience. The best evidence for qualification is certification by BCIA (Biofeedback Certification International Alliance) which establishes requirements including education, experience, mentoring, and examination.  In addition to prerequisite education applicants also need to complete a 36 hour course in neurofeedback that trains them in all of the necessary basic information they should know to provide neurofeedback. They also need to evidence that they have completed a course in neuroanatomy.

The experience portion requires the applicant to complete 100 sessions of neurofeedback on clients and 10 on themselves plus review of the experience work with an experienced mentor. This process gives the applicant a much better chance of being successful at providing neurofeedback training to their clients.

Do you offer online training?

For almost thirty years we have been assisting practitioners in getting the training they need in order to be successful in biofeedback. However, there have been others who simply could not afford to come to our seminars (we have many international clients). Also, there are those who want to get a good grounding in biofeedback before they come to the seminars. Others who want to be able to review the science as preparation for taking the BCIA exam or just to learn more. Finally, there are those who want to get basic training in order to learn enough to make a sound judgment as to whether they are ready to commit to more in depth training and the travel etc. required to attend the seminars.

We offer three, free online introductory courses: Introduction to General Biofeedback, Introduction to EEG Biofeedback, and Introduction to MindFitness Training. In addition, we offer:

The ONLINE BIOFEEDBACK BOOTCAMP© provides an outstanding solution for all of these categories of clients. This course delivers the opportunity to obtain excellent training at extremely low cost. This ONLINE BOOTCAMP is estimated to be equivalent to 10 hours of the didactic portion of our BCIA Certification training seminar (BCIA accreditation pending).

Erik Peper, Ph.D, Tenured Faculty, Director of the Institute of Healing Studies, San Francisco State University, Director of the Biofeedback and Family Therapy Institute, Berkeley. Past President of BSA. Author of MIND/BODY INTEGRATION, FROM THE INSIDE OUT, CREATING WHOLENESS and HEALTHY COMPUTING THROUGH USING BIOFEEDBACK writes:

“Ever since our first meeting in 1971, I have been impressed by your integrity, perseverance and skill in developing, supporting and servicing both portable (personal use) and computerized biofeedback systems. I am extremely satisfied with your service – every time we needed support. YOUR ORGANIZATION CAME THROUGH 100 PERCENT . Your policy of handling all biofeedback computer systems and instruments is extremely helpful for the practitioner. With the wide variety of equipment, and broad experience. you can design a system that is appropriate and least expensive for the practitioner. For me, your suggestions have always been helpful. I truly feel that you have put the long term perspective- developing biofeedback and self-regulation as a field-over a quick profit. Those of us who have been devoted to biofeedback learning from the beginning are keenly aware of the special dedication and immense investment required to create, sustain and build a biofeedback technology, training and service organization. It is your standards of excellence. cost containment, and training capabilities that provide benefits for your clients and their thousands of patients. I look forward to consulting with you on enhancing peak performance strategies at work and at play. Hopefully. my past experience as the behavioral scientist for the United States Rhythmic Gymnastic Team and other performers will enrich your program. In addition I am excited to share with you my newest findings on breathing and teaching our nonpharmacological approach for the treatment of asthma to therapists and biofeedback professionals.”

  • Assess and document your client's baseline HRV levels by running the 3 step HRV assessment.

  • Teach your clients awareness and control of breathing patterns and how breathing influences heart rate.

  • Train your clients to use breath control to entrain deep and effective relaxation.

The HRV Suite works with the ProComp 2, a medical grade physiological monitoring device, with easy-to-fasten finger pulse and respiration sensors to provide direct measures of heart rate and breathing.

Prerequisites
HRV suite alone can only be purchased by existing users who own :

Neurofeedback Equipment for Professional and Home Use

Devices for measuring and giving feedback of EEG brainwave activity is not new. Some have been available commercially since the 1970s. The first one that I was introduced to was housed in a wooden box and had an analog meter, a training frequency selector for Alpha, Theta, or Beta, a threshold setting, and audio feedback -very simple. It did not interface with a computer and there was no data storage or report available. This was around 1985. Since then much has changed. Those devices began to be interfaced with computers for better feedback and the added capabilities of data storage and reports.

Other systems have come along that only work with a computer with no feedback on the device that you plug the sensor cables into. Now there are some that work with smart phones and tablets like one called The Muse.

Though the early systems recorded from only one site on the head at a time, now many of the professional systems record 19 or more sites simultaneously like the Brainmaster Discovery.
Professional neurofeedback equipment is classified by the FDA as a class 2 medical device and can only be purchased by a licensed healthcare professional or on the order of one for a patient to use at home under supervision. Other neurofeedback equipment is designed for use by non-professionals and are not intended to treat any medical or mental health conditions. They are only to be used for relaxation and education purposes.

Professional neurofeedback equipment is made by reputable companies that have registered with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) so that they can legally sell the equipment. As a licensed healthcare professional you would not want to use equipment with your clients that is not legal.
