  • The course objectives are to provide the depth of knowledge in psychophysiology, biofeedback equipment, and training techniques required to perform psychophysiologically oriented assessments and biofeedback-based interventions.

  • This course is designed to help the student to:

    Summarize the psychophysiological processes underlying each condition covered in the course. This objective is supported by modules 3, 4, 6, 7, & 8.

    Use psychophysiological recording and biofeedback devices to record and display psychophysiological information. Supported by modules 2 & 5.

    Learn and demonstrate an understanding of the elements of common psychophysiological assessment and intervention techniques such as biofeedback, relaxation training, cognitive restructuring, hypnosis, meditation, and audiovisual entrainment. Supported by modules 6, 7, & 8.

    Use psychophysiological recording equipment to assess patients with specific conditions. Explain the physiology underlying optimal functioning and stress responses in order to design and conduct appropriate training to optimize functioning in business, education, sports, and (when appropriately licensed) clinical Supported by module 6.

    Use psychophysiological recording and biofeedback equipment professionally and ethically to apply specific assessments and interventions tailored to each condition covered in the course. Supported by modules 9 & 10.
