Welcome to episode ⁠#107⁠ of the MindCep Podcast! In this episode, we explore the powerful techniques of biofeedback and neurofeedback, which enable individuals to control their bodily responses and brain activity. By harnessing these tools, people can optimize their mental and physical well-being, enhance cognitive function, and even treat various medical conditions. Key Takeaways: Biofeedback training utilizes real-time physiological data to teach self-regulation of bodily responses (1). Neurofeedback, a type of biofeedback, focuses on brain activity, enabling individuals to control and regulate their brain function (2). These techniques have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and enhance cognitive function (3, 4). Biofeedback and neurofeedback have also been used to treat conditions like ADHD, PTSD, and chronic pain (5, 6). Resources:(1) Schwartz, M. S., & Schwartz, N. M. (2003).

Today, I am interviewing Ms. Rebekah Walker, a graduate of Saybrook University's Psychophysiology program. Since her undergrad, Rebekah has been connected to the mental health field. In 2014, she and her husband implemented a neurofeedback program for an agency. Then in 2016 they started their private practice, Walker Therapy Services, that married psychotherapy and neurofeedback together. As a result of wanting to know more about the brain she obtained a Master's in Applied Psychophysiology. Rebekah is now working with IMediSync which is revolutionizing mental health care. We're going to learn more about her work in this space, especially how one merges mental health care with neurofeedback – the linkages are interesting, especially when we peel back the layers – and her work at iMediSync.

Dr. Roseann is a Psychologist who supports children, teens, and young adults from all over the U.S. with research-based holistic therapies that are bridged with neuroscience. Dr. Roseann is a Board Certified Neurofeedback (BCN) Practitioner and is a Board Member of the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society (NRBS) and Epidemic Answers. She is also a member of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) and The Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB). "There I was sitting in my office in Ridgefield, CT, tapping my pen on my desk wondering how I was going to help this boy that was so ADHD. If I looked away, Alec literally would be climbing the walls and contorting his body to the point that he looked like he was having a seizure. After getting in trouble practically every minute at school at age eight, his mother came to me out of desperation looking for a way to help her bright blued-eyed boy. Even though I was personally holistic, my traditional training was psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, so I recommended a consult with a psychiatrist thinking that I was going to help this little cutie pie and his worried family. Because he was unfocused, couldn't put his thoughts down on the page, and always on the red light on the behavioral chart, Alec began a course of treatment with several psychostimulants that resulted in the side effects of increased heart rate, caused him to be flat and not enjoy anything, made him cranky, reduced his eating for an already wiry kid, and there were many a sleepless night to boot. His parents were beside themselves and in the early days of the internet, they found neurofeedback and were elated that there was something natural with decades of research behind it. Off they went and sought treatment and within a few months, Alec's best features began to shine – not only was he focused but he was able to put his thoughts together, connect with others, and joyous laughter came for the first time because he wasn't in trouble all the time. The impulsive, unfocused Alec was gone and I was a believer! Neurofeedback became my passion too and opened my eyes that healing happens with natural therapies that support the brain and body. And ever since I got to meet Alec, my office has helped thousands of children and families. Today, we use evidence-based holistic therapies to cultivate happiness, hope, and change in children, individuals, and families. If you're a worried parent, and you want to see your child go from a stressed-out mess to a happy and focused kid, call our office to speak with one of our client specialists or come to one of our free workshops. https://drroseann.com/

Bill holds a BA in Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, CA, as well as an advanced certification in NeurOptimal Brain Training and membership in the Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback."So actually, having the gift of sensitivity, if you learn how to control those things like, how you get overwhelmed, and there are ways to do that. And also, how you control some of your emotions, so you don't get into this tidal wave of emotions, you get drawn off somewhere. The idea is that with that ability to understand that trait, that's Education, and being able to accept that trait, which is accepting who you are. You can be an incredibly awesome person and studies can show that." Says Bill. We want you to know how being sensitive is going to change, benefit, and improve your life for the better. Discover how being sensitive is going to change, benefit and improve your life for the better. How you can use your sensitivity to bring out the best in those around you.

Today we welcomed Dr Jack Ginsberg PhD to The Unveil Podcast for an in-depth discussion into his primary areas of research: heart rate variability and heart rate variability feedback. Dr. Ginsberg earned a B.S. in Biology cum laude from Yale University, an M.A. in Anthropology from Brandeis University and in Psychology from Boston College, and a PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology from the University of Memphis (TN). Presently he is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsychologist in South Carolina after retiring from the Columbia (SC) VA hospital in 2019. He is currently adjunct faculty at Saybrook University (departments of Applied Psychophysiology, Clinical Psychology, and Research) and Research Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Dr. Ginsberg has been a PI, Co-PI or Co-I on research grants from the DoD, VA, and NIH studying heart rate variability (HRV) and HRV biofeedback in patients with either chronic pain or PTSD. Currently he is collaborating with researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, and University of South Carolina School of Medicine on grant proposals under review by NIH and DoD to study heart rate variability and heart rate variability biofeedback. During this exceptionally detailed, yet supremely simplifying podcast, Victoria and Dr Ginsberg talk about: Dr Ginsberg's history and progression into the field of heart rate variability studies, research and use in clinical practice What heart rate variability actually is - and why it's important What heart rate variability is telling us about about someone's orientation to the world around them The realm of respiration and the relationship between respiration and heart rate variability (this is fascinating: a must-listen for anyone who breathes… which is everyone!) What biofeedback is - especially when it comes to heart rate variability How to use emotional regulation to support change in nervous system state, and therefore heart rate variability, to increase adaptability for the individual Whilst this is a very “regular person” discussion, we do also touch on the clinical application of heart rate variability within chronic pain conditions and PTSD. We also lightly cover the utilization of heart rate variability as a monitoring tool to track illness within populations. We hope you enjoyed this podcast - and, as Victoria mentions in the outro, the HRV Institute are having their first ever annual conference, all details of which can be found by clicking this link here.

A Ladle a Day:  Applied Psychophysiology and the grey area of Human Performance with Dr. Curtis Wildes, PhD, ATC. Join Doc's Sarah & Alyse for a laid-back conversation about applied psychophysiology and its role in human performance! Dr. Curtis Wildes is by far the most bad ass athletic trainer to roam the earth and has truly stretched the boundaries of athletic training in every good way possible.  We get nerdy about psychophysiology and it's role in shaping neuroplasticity, how mental health disease's can be looked at as a symptom vs a death sentence, and the cruciality of removing all the negatives to get to the highest level in your performance. We discuss the keys to unlocking your fullest potential as well as both the benefits and challenges with motivation. We touch on the vitalness of HPO team integration (sensing a theme here yet?), how building in incremental steps = success and what a high performance model TRULY is. If you are a provider in HPO or a tactical and/or high-performance athlete, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!GUEST BIO:Dr. Curtis Wildes' expertise in human performance optimization is rooted in sports medicine, sports physiology, strength and conditioning, integrative osteopathic wellness, and psychophysiology. His experience spans various global organizations such as the US Air Force, United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, a wide variety of USA-National & Olympic Sports, Cirque du Soleil, along with the Baltimore Orioles. Dr. Wildes has developed an eclectic, multidisciplinary approach to sports performance medicine and integrative mind-body therapies aimed at integrative holistic care. With a Ph.D. in Applied Psychophysiology, an international clinical doctorate in Osteopathic Manual Practices and a master's in Athletic Training, Dr. Wildes' interests include integrative performance optimization using biofeedback and neurofeedback based neurocognitive optimization training. 

First, his friend asked him how relaxed he was. “Very relaxed.” Famous words, now, in retrospect. A classmate in graduate school asked Richard Soutar if he'd like to try out some new equipment he came across that could read his brain waves. Up for trying new things, Richard let him put the sensors on his scalp. The data revealed he was anything but relaxed. Well, he did have 3 young kids and a wife on a graduate student's budget and was trying to finish his dissertation. Okay, this made sense. After a session to train his brain waves to reduce his overall anxiety, he experienced a life-changing shift. Thus began the career passion of applied neuroscientist, Dr. Richard Soutar. He is now considered a pioneer in the field of neurofeedback and inventor/producer of some of the leading software and hardware. Join us to learn about Dr. Soutar's life and work and why giving up his clinical work in the last few years is helping him fulfill his passion even more. Biography: A pioneer in the field of neurofeedback, Dr. Richard Soutar has published Five books on the topic of neurofeedback as well as a number of invited chapters and research papers and conducted workshops at conferences and clinics in the U.S and Europe. As a former professor of psychology and sociology, he has taught at both the undergraduate and the graduate level as well as being a clinician, director, and business administrator of various clinics around the country. He developed the first internet training course for neurofeedback certified by the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA) and has been a BCIA mentor for over 15 years. He has served as Secretary and President of the Neurofeedback Division of the Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB). He is Director of Research and Development for New Mind Technologies where he is developing equipment, brain mapping databases, and assessment instruments and software programs for neurofeedback clinicians.

We know that humanity originated in Africa. Africa is therefore at the root of all that makes us human: our spirituality, civilization, arts, sciences, philosophy, and even our conscious and unconscious minds. Today we welcome back poet and author Dr. Edward Bruce Bynum. We talk about his new book Our African Unconscious: The Black Origins of Mysticism and Psychology and about what he will be presenting at his welcoming keynote at the IASD Tucson conference in July. Bruce starts by marveling about how little we have changed biologically in 50,000 years yet how far we have come culturally and scientifically. We talk about how mysticism emerges out of physical and biological experiences and about the flexibility of our experience of time. We go into the history of mysticism and how it was not always dominated by old, white men including discussion of female priests of the ancient Asclepion temples and the growing modern recognition of Native Americans and other aboriginal cultures. We touch on OBEs, NDEs, precognitive dreams and pyramids as places if initiation. We take a call from Ray from Santa Cruz who brings up topics of life after death and past lives. He shares a short, powerful dream about a scarab. Bruce ends by reading his poem, “I dream”. BIO: Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and Diplomat in clinical psychology. He is nationally certified in biofeedback and is a senior fellow in the National Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback. His focus is psychosomatic medicine, hypnosis and individual psychotherapy, and he is currently in private practice in Hadley Massachusetts.

In a perfect dreaming world, we'd be sharing our dreams every day with our loved ones. The truth is most people don't do this, but if they did they'd notice an interesting phenomenon. About twenty percent of our dreams involve our families—either by having dreams about other family members or by having dreams that are similar to our relatives. We know about this from the work of my guest, clinical psychologist Edward Bruce Bynum, whose research into hundreds of dreams was highlighted in his book, The Dreamlife of Families. In our insightful discussion, Edward reveals:•why we dream about family members•the peril of ignoring family dreams•what crisis telepathy dreams tell us•the family dream that's more common that most people think•the types of families more prone to dream together•how different cultures deal with their family dreams•the one group of people who have the most intense family dreams Dreaming about family members can give us insights—and even warnings—we might not get from any other source. If you want to know how to get results from your family dreams, you won't want to miss this enlightening episode of Dream Power Radio.

Neurofeedback, Adaptation & Prisoners of the Couch Part 2 of my conversation with applied neuroscience pioneer Dr. Richard Soutar brings us into the intriguing challenge of brain change and self-awareness. Topics include: how high-functioning individuals can suffer devastating impairments without knowing it, Hedonic Adaptation or how we can heal but not see it, a new paradigm of understanding trauma as capable of injuring the brain similar to an accident or blow to the head, emotional intelligence as an integration of different parts of the brain, and, in Dr. Soutar's words, the promise that everyone can have a great story of recovery like mine. Thanks, Dr. Soutar, I'm always learning from you.

Episode 29: In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about how we can calm our amygdalas. The amygdala is the part of our brain responsible for the experience of stress and can override the thinking part of our brains. If you'd like to try to calm your amygdala, you can try mindfulness meditation, breathing techniques, chanting, and listening to solfeggio frequencies. With regard to the environment, a new organization was recently formed called the Global Alliance for a Green New Deal and  includes lawmakers from every continent except Antarctica.  The goal of the group is to put the principles of a Green New Deal at the center of a global recovery from Covid-19. The group aims to put pressure on world governments ahead of the United Nations climate talks, COP 26, set to take place in Glasgow, Scotland, this November.

Dr. Ron Gharbo is an expert in the body-brain connection and in today’s conversation, he endeavors to help Laura understand the intricacies of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how it is intimately connected with and an indicator of one’s emotional intelligence (EQ), which is highly correlated with success in leadership. Recent advances in wearable technologies give Dr. Gharbo predictive insight into an individual’s energy reserves, which allows him to assess whether they are physically equipped to deal with physical and emotional stresses. “Energy is finite,” he explains. If an individual actually understood his or her personal “energy bank,” he or she could make better decisions about what to engage in or take action on. “If you knew your reserves were low, would you still take this action?” is a question he poses as he walks Laura through how it works. HRV is incredibly sensitive and requires skilled interpretation into the physical and emotional variables that impact it. Practitioners can gather enough data over time to understand an individual’s HRV and make healthy modifications through exercise, breathing, and mindful awareness. Dr. Gharbo takes this level of insight and information to a new level when he expresses interest in doing a large-scale experiment within a corporation allowing participants to self-modulate behavior and HRV through a phone app. It’s a fascinating conversation and an intriguing idea for sure; if you’re in HR and want to take him up on this experiment, connect with him below. Ron’s Bio Raouf (Ron) Gharbo D.O. is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) and Neuromuscular Electrodiagnostic Medicine and is faculty at the Virginia Commonwealth University Department of PMR, the hub for the National Veterans Administration Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium.  In 2020, Dr. Gharbo submitted a novel approach to whole health: Autonomic Rehabilitation: Adapting to Change. Dr. Gharbo was the clinical HRV expert for the largest randomized control trial for inducing cardiorespiratory synchronization to reduce chronic pain. He gave the keynote address at the 50th Anniversary for the Academy of Applied Psychophysiology in 2019, the Richard Baer Lectureship at The Ohio State University Medical Center 2018.

Gudrun war in Weimar an der Bauhaus Universität zu Gast bei Jan Ehlers. Sie haben sich über seine Forschungstätigkeit im Umfeld von Mensch-Maschine Interaktion unterhalten. Jan hat in Bremen Psychologie studiert und dort auch promoviert. Nach einer Zeit an der Universität in Ulm ist er zur Zeit in Weimar als Lehrstuhlinhaber tätig. Gudruns Wunsch war es schon länger, das Thema im Podcast zu haben, denn Mensch-Maschine Interaktion betrifft alle Leute, die irgend etwas mit Computern machen. Dabei war klar, dass dies ein sehr breites Feld ist, wo im Gespräch mit Jan nur einzelne Aspekte vorkommen werden. Darüber hinaus, dass es thematisch breit ist, ist es ein sehr interdisziplinäres Feld, wo zwischen Biologie und Algorithmen als "Extremwerten" sehr unterschiedliches Wissen nötig ist und nur in Zusammenarbeit der Fachgebiete neues entsteht. Jans Fachgebiet ist der "Faktor Mensch". An seiner Arbeit faszinieren ihn viele Dinge, aber besonders, dass es noch so ein junges Feld ist, in den man Pionierarbeit verrichtet. Er hat sich auf kognitive Psychologie spezialisiert und untersucht u.a. wie peripher physiologische Signale (also von der Körperoberfläche abgeleitete Informationen) als Messwerte für psychologische Zustände dienen können. In erster Linie ist das universitäre Grundlagenforschung ohne unmittelbaren Anwendungsbezug. Dahinter stehen aber so fundamentale Fragen wie: Wie wird Aufmerksamkeit generiert? Wie kann man trotz interindividueller Unterschiede Erregungs- oder Aktivierungsniveaus aus solchen objektiv beobachtbaren Größe wie Pupillenbewegung oder Leitfähigkeit der Haut ablesen. Es müssen Größen herangezogen werden, die dem Bewusstsein nicht direkt zugänglich (also leicht manipulierbar) sind. Für die Experimente sind künstliche, hoch kontrollierte Situationen im Labor typisch, weil man ja wissenschaftlich Wirkmechanismen und Kausalbeziehungen beweisen möchte. Im Fachchargon spricht man auch von physiological computing bzw. mental status determination, also der Einschätzung einer psychischen Situation ohne Worte. die auf Selbsteinschätzung beruhen. Ein anschauliches Beispiel ist, dass man an der Blinzelfrequenz ablesen kann, wenn jemand müde wird. Man kann das gut mit Sensoren beobachten und messen und dann einen übermüdeten LKW-Fahrer durch so ein System erkennen und zum Pause machen anhalten. Menschlich ist das allerdings ein wenig brisant, denn wir wollen lieber die Kontrolle behalten und nicht von System Vorschriften gemacht bekommen. Hinzu kommt, dass man solche Systeme auch austricksen kann. Im Labor wird dazu das Biofeedback der Sensoren visualisiert und Probanden können lernen, darüber kognitive Kontrolle zu erhalten. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Pupillengröße, die man auf dem Monitor gut als Kreis einer gewissen Größe abbilden kann. Man kann üben, sie willentlich größer oder kleiner zu machen mit Hilfe der Rückmeldung auf dem Bildschirm. Für Forschung mit und über Menschen müssen ethische Prinzipien eingehaltne werden. Es ist apriori ja nicht in Ordnung, wenn man z.B. im Experiment Probanden systematisch anlügt. Trotzdem ist es eine wichtige und interessante Fragestellung, ob man die oben erläuterte Möglichkeit, dass man Einfluss auf eigentlich unbewusste Vorgänge erhalten kann, auch in die andere Richtung ausnutzen kann. Wenn ich einem erregten Probanden Biofeedback auf dem Monitor zeige, dass einer ruhigen Situation entspricht und der Proband dem Feedback glaubt, wird er dann vielleicht ruhig?

In today's episode, Dr Nirala Jacobi is in conversation with Kayle Sandberg-Lewis.  Kayle recently gave a lecture at the New Orleans SIBO conference on traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and SIBO.   Kayle holds a master's degree in Behavioral Medicine and has a private practice specializing in acquired brain injuries, anxiety and stress-related disorders. In recent years, she has been exploring the link between brain injuries and gastrointestinal disorders.   Board-certified by the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance as a Neurofeedback Practitioner, she is also trained in peripheral biofeedback. Kayle has several tools at her disposal to help the disordered brain calm itself and function more optimally thereby leading to improved vagal tone.   Kayle serves as adjunct faculty at the National University of Natural Medicine where she created the Applied Psychophysiology track in the Master of Science in Integrative Mental Health.   Topics discussed include: How Kayle entered the traumatic brain injury field. SIBO, the migrating motor complex, and how TBI can impact this. Differentiating parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system dominance. The risks of sympathetic dominance to the digestive system. What common injuries are actually classed as TBIs, and how might this contribute to gastrointestinal health? The cumulative effect of minor head injuries.

Both are Focusing Trainers who are exploring new and interesting ways of including Focusing as part of their daily work. Customarily, in Focusing we do not associate physical touch with the practice. It would not “normally” be considered a part of a focusing exchange or partnership.  Adding physical touch could break an implied “touch barrier” and could possibly infringe on the safety of the boundaries set out in Focusing practice and partnership as most of us understand it. Anastasia and Jack are both body workers. Anastasia holds a Master's in Applied Psychophysiology, an undergrad degree in social work. Jack holds Master's degree in counseling.  Jack, among other things, is a teacher of body workers and other caregivers and Anastasia, among other things, teaches body workers and has a background as a social worker in domestic violence. Both are licensed massage practitioners and have taught professional classes combining touch and Focusing. What happens when the add Focusing to a bodywork practice and appropriate touch to a Focusing practice? Jack and Anastasia have come together to create Focusing courses for body workers and using Focusing to create a bridge between body workers and verbal therapists. Their goals are first, to enable more client empowerment and body-centered awareness… second, to use the principles of Focusing to support mutual understanding between the different caregiving professions. So, I invite you to sit back and enjoy this discussion on incorporating Focusing into body work and listen as Jack and Anastasia share the small miracles they have felt through their hands and their whole being by bringing “a focusing way” into their body healing practices.   LISTEN ON STITCHER SUBSCRIBE IN ITUNES LEARN FOCUSING TAKE A LEVEL ONE FOCUSING CLASS LISTEN TO RADICAL GENTLENESS
