The Regional Hub for Scientific Exchange.
The Northeast Regional Biofeedback Society (NRBS) was established to serve as an open and inclusive forum for clinicians, researchers, and educators. Originally founded to support “Research and Developments in Biofeedback,” the society evolved into the primary regional association dedicated to advancing self-regulation and neuromodulation in the Northeast.
Strategic Strength
For decades, NRBS has distinguished itself through Field Unity. Unlike modality-specific organizations, we welcome all approaches—including EEG, HRV, EMG, NFB, IFS, LENS, and swLORETTA—ensuring a field-elevating rather than field-dividing dialogue.
46+ Annual Conferences: Where the Field Meets.
Our annual conference has served as the “Crown Jewel” of professional development in the region for over 40 years. We have hosted world-renowned leaders and pioneers, providing a platform for groundbreaking research and clinical insights.
Pioneer Spotlight
Our history is defined by the experts who have graced our stage, from Lynda and Michael Thompson (Lifetime Achievement Award recipients) to keynote legends like Jay Gunkelman and Dr. Ed Hamlin.
Our Purpose – Then and Now
Our mission has remained consistent since our founding:
Foster Professional Collaboration

Continuing the Journey.
Building upon our profound legacy through our signature annual conferences, NRBS continues to move the field forward.
