Advanced workshop: QEEG, Sleep and Personalized Medicine

 

Speakers: Jay Gunkelman, Kerstin Hoedlmoser & Martijn Arns

Thursday February 7 - Saturday February 9th, 2013
Nijmegen, The Netherlands
 
We proudly announce a new Advanced Workshop in our Brainclinics workshop series with Jay Gunkelman, Kerstin Hoedlmoser and Martijn Arns. This 3-day workshop is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the role of sleep in psychiatric disorders, Quantitative EEG (QEEG), neuromodulation techniques such as rTMS and Neurofeedback and focused on ADHD, insomnia and Depression.
 
During this year's workshop there will be a special focus on the role of sleep in psychiatric disorders where also techniques such as actigraphy and sleep questionnaires will be presented to better understand and assess sleep in patients. Furthermore, the relation of sleep to QEEG findings and implications for treatment such as neurofeedback, rTMS and other psychological interventions will also be discussed.
 
We have invited Dr. Kerstin Hoedlmoser from the University of Salzburg (Austria) who is specialized in sleep and neurofeedback treatment for insomnia. Furthermore, we have invited Jay Gunkelman from Brain Science International (US) who is an internationally recognized expert on QEEG and EEG interpretation. Furthermore, Dr. Martijn Arns will present on the recent insights from chronobiology and circadian findings in ADHD and how neurofeedback is though to influence these networks. Furthermore, he will also present on the latest developments in EEG based personalized medicine. The program can be found below.
 
Please register soon since there is a maximum number of attendees! 
 
The price for the workshop is € 1000,- (€ 750,- euro for PhD students) for 3 days including lunch, and the workshop will be held at Brainclinics (Bijleveldsingel 34, Nijmegen, The Netherlands).
