After attending this course you will be able to immediately implement neurofeedback in your practice.
Course Description
An intensive hands-on introduction to the clinical practice of Neurofeedback where you will:
- Learn about the technical basics of the functionality of Neurofeedback systems and of EEG signal processing.
- Learn mechanisms of neurophysiologic self-regulation and how specific patterns of disregulation lead to physical, emotional and behavioural symptoms.
- Gain experience with Neurofeedback instrumentation that exercises the brains mechanisms of self-regulation and improves brain function.
- Learn about assessment tools that allow new insight into your patient’s symptoms and guide Neurofeedback training.
- Gain knowledge and skills that will allow you to incorporate Neurofeedback into your clinical practice.
- Begin empowering your patients to function better and increase their ability to benefit from other therapies.
Upon completion of the course you will be able to:
- Describe the EEG training process.
- Use Neurofeedback instrumentation at a basic level.
- Assess new clients for viability of Neurofeedback training.
- Describe Neurofeedback protocols for clinical and peak-performance applications.
- Assess progress and completion of training.

She divides her time between training her clients, teaching professional courses and researching new ways of approaching the training to achieve better results with her clients. Her clinical interests include emotional trauma and eating disorders as well as physiological disregulations related to anxiety and depression. She teaches in English.
Priv. doz. Dr. Meike Wiedemann
Chief Scientist, EEG Info Europe
Meike Wiedemann is a neurobiologist and works as an associate professor for biofeedback and neurofeedback at the University Hohenheim / Germany. In research she mainly deals with the development of pre-clinical screening models and the effect of micro gravitation on the central nervous system. Since 2002 she runs a private practice for biofeedback and hypnosis, with an emphasis on neurofeedback, in Stuttgart. Since early 2011 she is employed as chief scientist at EEG Info Europe. Here, she is responsible for coordinating studies in the field of neurofeedback and for participating in the further development of the Othmer-Method.
Dr. Ing. Bernhard Wandernoth
