As a licensed mental health clinician\, she integrates emotional experience with electro physiology to alter neural dynamics in real time\, helping people recover from trauma or improve brain flexibility and resiliency. Penijean’s grou ndbreaking work has led to industry-wide changes in neurotherapy\, and is the basis for current standards in international certification. Her passio ns include spectral analysis\, donuts\, and taking things apart to see how they work.\n\nCourse Description:\nIn this first case study of its kind\, we examine the neurophysiological underpinnings of romantic love and atta chment and discuss how emerging biomedical technology is changing the conv ersation around whether or not we can measure and interact with the more e lusive elements of human emotion. This project brought together an fMRI re searcher\, a mental health clinician\, and a professional rapper with the intent to explore recent developments in real time 3D brain imaging and ne uromodulation techniques. Our question: is it possible to use science to f all out of love? The initial idea was inspired by Dr. Helen Fisher’s wor k using fMRI to identify the neural correlates of romantic rejection\, so we replicated this study with our rapper as the subject\, and confirmed th at her fMRI scans registered activity in the same brain regions indicated by Dr. Fisher as engaged when the subject was experiencing unrequited affe ction or the distressing end of a romantic relationship (Fisher\, 2006\, B aumeister\, 1993\;). Informed by both peer-reviewed publications\, and a q uantitative EEG analysis of our subject’s brain\, we constructed a neuro modulation design based on sLORETA Z-scored feedback. This protocol was in tended to support “romantic resiliency”\, the capacity to adapt to abr upt or painful changes in one’s emotional landscape in ways which optimi ze the possibility of experiencing healthy romantic connections. After nin e feedback sessions\, we scanned her brain using the Fisher protocol again \, and found significant reductions in activity in the brain areas previou sly identified. This talk will review the methods and technology used in t his initial case study\, show the pre and post fMRI and qEEG findings\, su mmarize findings from additional subjects in later case studies\, and disc uss the relevance of this data to the fields of EEG biofeedback and mental health.\n\nLevel: Intermediate\nAny provider working with children and yo uth with pain.\n\nWho Should Attend: Any provider working with children an d youth with pain.\n\nCE Credits: 1.5 credit\n\nPsychologists: The Associa tion for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is approved by the Ameri can Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psycholo gists.
