Anxiety, depression, anger, and changes in mental status often reflect a psychiatric issue. However, there are times that a brain or body event is the culprit. Migraines, seizure disorders, tumors, and long COVID can all trigger psychological changes. In fact, the psychological symptoms may be the first sign that something is wrong.

Andrea specializes in applied psychophysiology and neuroscience techniques to assess and train all aspects of human physiology, helping individuals optimize their functioning. She has over 20 years of experience in analyzing EEG, multiple bio- and neurofeedback modalities, neuromodulation, self-regulation, and relaxation techniques. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology with a specialty in Psychophysiology and a Master's degree in Health Psychology. Andrea is a Licensed Psychological Associate and Health Service Provider in North Carolina, is Board Certified in biofeedback and neurofeedback by BCIA, and as a Quantitative EEG Technologist by IQCB. She trains and mentors neurofeedback and quantitative EEG, has published several book chapters and articles, and presents at scientific meetings.Dr. Kutyana will discuss Event Related Potentials (ERPs). These are the brain's response to any sort of stimuli. ERPs are well studied in neurology, and tend to follow specific patterns, indicating how the brain processes information. ERPs can help us better understand the struggles some people have understanding some types of information compared to others. For example, some people are better visual than auditory learners. Others have difficulty with multi-sensory information. ERPs provide an even more detailed understanding of some brain functions than EEG or qEEG alone.If you enjoyed this podcast, join Dr. Kutyana for her free webinar, or get a recording of it and the other webinars in the series.
