Neurofeedback Training in Florida
Florida is an important place for neurofeedback. It is the home of the Florida Biofeedback Society which is based in Boynton Beach, Florida. This is one of the most active biofeedback organizations in the nation. It is a resource for potential clients looking for biofeedback and neurofeedback providers. The website is http://www.floridabiofeedback.org/ They also have workshops where providers can receive training and continuing education credit. The Florida Biofeedback Society offers a membership that includes a subscription to its Florida Biofeedback publication, networking opportunities, as well as other perks.
Applied Neurosciences Inc. is an EEG software company based in Saint Petersburg, Florida. They develop software for clinical and research applications of EEG including brain mapping and Neurofeedback training Florida. The company was founded by Robert Thatcher. Their flagship software product is the NeuroGuide software program. It is one of the most known and important software programs in the neurofeedback field. Many neurofeedback practitioners use NeuroGuide and other Applied Neurosciences software.
There are many drug treatment centers in Florida partly due to the continuing opioid problems there. Neurofeedback is also used as a therapy for substance abuse. Although only some centers currently offer neurofeedback, I expect that more of these centers will be offering this service.
Florida is a popular retirement destination. Incontinence is a problem that many older people suffer with. Biofeedback is an excellent therapeutic intervention for incontinence. Its efficacy is highly rated.
Many older people are also concerned with loss of cognitive function and memory. Neurofeedback is effective for improving cognitive function and shows promise in the area of memory because of its ability to stimulate neuronal connections.
Another important connection between biofeedback and Florida is Dr. Bernie Brucker. He was the director of the Brucker Biofeedback Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He served as past president of the Academy of Rehabilitation Psychology, past President of the State of Florida Brain and Spinal Injury Advisory Council Association, and president of the Academy of Rehabilitation Psychology and the Florida Brain Injury Association. He was known for using surface EMG biofeedback and operant condition protocols for helping people with paralysis and other disorders, regain muscle function in Southern Florida.
As you can see, neurofeedback and biofeedback training are well established and important in the state of Florida. I am looking fo biofeedback training rward to continuing to help people get started in learning these skills by offering training in the area. Training opportunities are posted at www.biofeedbackinternational.com as well as www.bcia.org
