Workshop news

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Here is an update of Pete's Spring schedule. There are two additions, BioExplorer and Level 2 workshops in Manchester, New Hampshire in late March and in Reno, Nevada in mid May.

There is also a change in the Woodbridge, VA schedule. Pete will be doing the 3 day Trainers Practicum instead of the TP Update and a 1 day Brain Prime instead of a 2 day. The Practicum will include an introduction to the new Analyze Excel tool for BioExplorer users. The Brain Prime workshop will be primarily didactic.

1. Finding sites quickly and accurately in the 10/20 system;

2. Preparing, applying, removing and cleaning leads quickly and effectively;

3. Evaluating signal quality; identifying and minimizing key sources of artifact.

Level 2: Assessment and Training Planning (16 hours $375)

Prerequisite: Level 1. Learn the TLC system for assessing brain activation patterns and their correlations with mood, performance and behavior to guide protocol selection for a wide range of objectives. Complete subjective and objective assessments as client and as trainer and produce your own training plan. Focus on skills 4 and 5:

4. Assess the client's symptoms, goals and brain activation patterns and use them to create a training plan;

Educate client and support system on brain activation patterns, behavior and the brain training process

This is an intensely hands-on orientation to BioExplorer, a software packagethat permits users to use the same program with a variety of hardware platforms, provides exceptional feedback options and a broad range of protocol options. Participants will learn to:

1. Install and set up the program, add training devices and access its file structure;

2. Use prepared designs to operate a training session, including changing parameters;

3. Review and evaluate training results using BioReview software with prepared designs;

4. Create new training protocols and new reports from scratch.

Trainer’s Practicum: (24 hours $550)

Prerequisite: Level 2 and familiarity with TLC Assessment. Each participant brings a current assessment for her/himself and may also bring assessments from clients.
