Information
Neurotherapy refers to technologies that allow us to adjust our physiology to improve health, performance, and lifestyle. We train people to ideals on heart rate variability, temperature control, and brain rhythms through feedback and stimulation. Evidence-based Neurotherapy (EBN) emerged from 40 years of NIH, DOD, and NASA sponsored research at UCLA, VA, and USAF facilities. The first EBN conference took place in Quebec City, June 2010 and was held by the Society for the Advancement of Brain Analysis (SABA). Evidence-based neurotherapy refers to neurobehavioral interventions that use inferential neurometrics and neuromodulatory techniques with a 150 years of empirical peer-reviewed investigation in order to treat patient individuals under multiple care classifications including psychiatric, neurological, psychological, primary, and academic. A person's psychophysiology is compared to desired ideals and populations and interpreted by neuroscientific theories and literature, with the goal of adjusting cerebral function with operant conditioning, counseling, and neuromodulation. Application for mentorship
Board members, instructors, and advisors include pioneers in the fields of neurotherapy and normative EEG analysis, with a century of experience in neuroplasticity research and clinical practice. They are Teresa Andreoli PsyD, Roger deBeus PhD, Ed Hamlin PhD, David A Kaiser PhD, Margaret MacDonald MD, Denise Malkowicz MD, Hank Mann MD, Andrea Meckley MA, Srinivasan Nida, MS Vincent Paquette PhD, and Barry Sterman PhD, Mentors are board certified in EBN or Maslow Neurotherapy serve as course instructor or advisor with appropriate credentials. Additional mentoring candidates considered on a case-by-case basis. Credit from prior workshops, SABA conferences, and degree programs is decided on a case-by-case basis.
Credential is Board Certification in Evidence-Based Neurotherapy (EBN). Acceptable designations are Board Certified in Neurotherapy (BCN), or Board Certified by the American Neurotherapy Association (ANA). Certification exam questions created by Kaiser Academy are used in multiple certification programs including QEEG Board and SABA. Contact David Kaiser for information as to curricula, educational services, practices, and referrals. Each 90-minute lecture and discussion is recorded for student use indefinitely, all rights reserved, when technical issues allow. We may cancel any course in which less than 3 students enroll.
Students may apply for credit to any agency or institution with the syllabus, instructor CVs, and exams. The core curriculum was approved by the Middle States Commission of Higher Education which accredits University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, and other top-tier schools. We are currently in the process of applying for accreditation for the entire program as well as for a post-graduate credential in neurotherapy from one of the local colleges here in New York.
Certified Evidence-based Neurotherapists exhibit competency in performing the following professional functions:
- Maintain confidentiality of records relating to patient evaluation and treatment
- Prepare and maintain treatment records and reports for 5 years
- Evaluate patients through interviews, observations, behavioral tests, and psychophysiology
- Encourage change in behavior and tendencies with counseling, operant conditioning, and stimulation
- Facilitate skill development appropriate to each maturational stage of life
- Develop and implement treatment plans with quantifiable goals based on clinical experience and neuroscientific standards
- Collaborate with other clinicians in the assessment and development of treatment plans regardless of care discipline
- Act as a patient's advocate to coordinate and acquire mental and primary health services and to help resolve emergencies and crises
- Demonstrate professional standards across cultural, age, and gender diversity
These courses are part of the 100-hour program of the American Neurotherapy Association (ANA) for Board Certification in Evidence-Based Neurotherapy. The ANA is a member organization dedicated to providing professional standards of neuromodulation and neuroplasticity evaluation and collecting and publishing peer-reviewed evidence of efficacy and effectiveness of neuromodulation techniques including EEG operant conditioning, electromagnetic neurostimulation, and related technologies. Board certification provides a minimum standard of professional training for providing neurotherapy and EEG services. This program includes advisors and board members with international standing in EEG and neurotherapy research and practice. This Board has no affiliation with other continuing education programs, although students are welcome to use any and all information associated with coursework (e.g., CV, syllabus, exams) in obtaining credit in CME, CE, BCIA, and other credentialing programs. Completing forms for this credit is the responsibility of the student.
