Neuropsychophysiology:
Nervous System Functions in Psychophysiology
45 hours of CE credit, Course Fee $750.
Instruct
or:
Gerald P. Kozlowski, Ph.D., EEG-BCIA
Prerequisites: An undergraduate course in general biology. It is easier if you have had an
introductory neurofeedback course as well.
Concept and Format
:
For purposes of this course, we consider neuropsychophysiology as the study of human behavior
in its broadest terms. It incorporates the principles of neuroscience (neuro- and electro-
physiology, neuroanatomy and cell and molecular biology) and neuropsychology (clinical
neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, experimental and cognitive psychology). Recent advances in
neuroimaging and psychopharmacology have added new and exciting dimensions to modern
neuropsychophysiogy which previously once was regarded as mainly diagnostic in nature.
Therefore, the main objective of this course will be to examine the scientific basis of these
research areas as they relate to the fundamentals of human behavior. Recently published research
papers are introduced into the course in order to extend the student's views beyond the textual
material. In addition, students are given the opportunity to present their research and/or clinical
interests.The student will also achieve an understanding of the principles underlying the practice
of EEG-biofeedback (EEG-BF) by studying the basic mechanisms of cerebral rhythmic
activities, regional cerebral functions and their connectivities; and, the neuronal substrate
responsible for self-regulation. Classes consist of instructor-lead discussions of the assigned
reading material for the week. Currently, they are held on Satudays and last for 90 minutes to 2
