The HBI Database: Beyond the QEEG

Series #25

Webinar

February 28, 2024
12-1pm EST

The clinician seeking to use the EEG and qEEG (i.e., spectral analyses, coherence, theta/beta ratio, etc.) to guide interventions such as neuro/biofeedback can be faced with a challenge when the data does not match the presenting concerns or is not significantly deviant, This webinar will review a case where the data derived from the qEEG is relatively normal. We will discuss how additional data derived from the EEG and evoked response potentials can be used to provide additional windows to understand the client. The HBImed database is not only age and gender-differentiated but utilizes research to provide indexes such as arousal, ADHD, and more to facilitate an understanding of the person seeking interventions. In the case study presented, it will be shown how additional information derived from the EEG, such as vigilance, which shows time-related alterations in attention, provides additional information which enhances the clinical picture and guides interventions.


Presenter

Mitchell Sadar, Ph.D., BCN, BCB-HRV

Mitchell Sadar is a licensed psychologist who was the director of a Pennsylvania Correctional Institution's inpatient program for over 15 years. In 1999 he was trained in neurofeedback and tried to bring this modality to the correctional population, but his attempts were not accepted by the Department of Corrections. He then resolved to dedicate his work to biofeedback and developed his private practice. Since 2015 he has been the president of the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society. His background in neuropsychology readily lent itself to learning how the EEG can facilitate neurofeedback training. In 2018, along with his practitioner wife, Angelika Sadar, he was invited to be part of BrainARC Switzerland and began developing evaluations and protocols based on the research of HBImed, Switzerland. Since that time, he has focused on developing assessments that include an analysis of EEG and ERPs to help to guide biofeedback/neurofeedback protocols but also include recommendations regarding psychotherapy and lifestyle changes.
