And yet\, for most heart rate variability biofeedback\, a simplistic appr oach has been developed\, practiced and unfortunately\, accepted as status quo for the treatment of HRV issues.\nHRV issues are prevalent in relatio n to Traumatic Brain Injury and mental health conditions in which anxiety is a major presenting symptom. Also\, it appears that the more anxious or afraid of failing that one is\, the more likely that person will fail when attempting to breathe to a regimented fashion. So a regimented and paced biofeedback system is particularly distressing to these sufferers. Suppose there was a technique that simultaneously calmed the mind while also prov iding gentle breathing cues?\n\nThe essence of this workshop will be to br ing light the way in which the heart’s rhythm is of absolute importance as a guide for counselling and cognitive behavioral techniques\, which in themselves\, can completely resolve an HRV issue. That being said\, the mo re extreme a mental health condition is\, especially that of PTSD\, trauma \, TBI and the resultant anxiety\, the tougher it is to employ traditional HRV biofeedback techniques and the greater the failure rate.\n\nAudio-vis ual Entrainment (AVE) is a technique employing flashing lights within a pa ir of sunglasses and pulsing tones within a pair of headphones at various brain wave frequencies. AVE has the exceptional ability to induce deep med itative and parasympathetic states of mind within the user. This workshop will demonstrate a novel and highly effective method involving an AVE-base d technique involving a Windows-based “Breathe” app alongside a unique AVE protocol for advanced HRV therapy for the toughest of patients strugg ling with anxiety. This protocol utilizes the changing of color cues for i nspiration and expiration\, simultaneously with mind-calming AVE\, typical ly in the alpha brain wave band (although any brain wave band may be chose n).\n\nWho is the Audience: Psychologists\, Social Workers\, MFTs\, Counse lors\n\nLevel: all\n\nSpecific Learning objectives:\n\n Assess if HRV ref lects a psychological conflict and if a counseling approach should be take n for its treatment.\n Learn how to use the Breathe app for self-calming while on a computer.\n Learn how to use the Spectrum AVE eye set alongsid e the Breathe app for HRV therapy. \n\n\nFees: Webinar fee is $45.00 for a ll ISNR members.

He later work ed in the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Alberta designing TMJ Dysfunction related diagnostic equipment and research facilities. He organ ized research projects\, taught basic physiology and the advanced TMJ diag nostics course. Dave had noted anxiety issues in many patients suffering w ith TMJ dysfunction\, prompting him to study biofeedback\, which he applie d to the patients and then later\, Dave designed biofeedback devices.\n\nI n 1984\, Dave designed his first Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) device—t he “Digital Audio-Visual Integration Device\,” or DAVID1. Since this t ime\, through his company\, Mind Alive Inc.\, Dave has been researching an d refining AVE technology specifically for use in relaxation\, boosting ac ademic and sports performance and treating anxiety\, depression\, PMS\, AD D/ADHD\, FMS\, SAD\, pain\, cognitive decline and insomnia\, which he pres ents about primarily at various conferences and for special interest medic al/psychology groups.\n\nIn 2105\, Dave made an exciting discovery in iden tifying a unique type of TBI that is prevalent throughout society and over looked by the medical community. Surprisingly\, he also found that AVE can restart the brain within 20 minutes. Further research has found that AVE generates large amounts of lactate\, which in turn fires up both glia and neurons.\n\nDave also designs Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) products an d is a leading provider of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS) and devices. As a result of Dave’s commitment to research\, Mind Alive Inc. now owns three patents involving neurotechnology. Dave continues to conduct resear ch\, perform a quantitative EEG service and designs new products pertainin g to enhanced performance and mental wellness.\n\nDave has developed a 30 CEU course on Stimulation Technologies with Saybrook University and the Be havioral Medicine Research and Training Foundation. Dave has also publishe d many articles and studies relating to Audio-Visual Entrainment and brain function and has recently made leading edge breakthroughs in the identifi cation and treatment of concussion.\n\nAs a firm believer in keeping his m ind alive through neuro-stimulation (or\, dancing in his dendrites!)\, Dav e engages in many activities spanning research\, flying RC airplanes and d rones\, kayaking\, diving\, caving\, biking\, sailing\, music &\; song- writing plus having fun!\n\nFinancial disclosure: CEO and CRO at Mind Aliv e Inc.\n\n CATEGORIES:Conferences END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
