A Clinician Perspective (Hands-On!)Live Z-Score Percent ZOK, Z Plus, 4 – 19 channels
Fundamentals of Live Z-Score training (percent ZOK). QEEG metrics for absolute and relative power ratios, asymmetry, coherent, phase. Basic and advanced Live Z-Score training. Importance of connectivity for communication and control in the brain.

Many clinicians believe that Live Z Score neurofeedback monitoring and training is changing the face of the neurofeedback industry. Live Z Score monitoring and training is being used by clinicians all over the world to train clients in real time and includes the guidance of the NeuroGuide normative data base. Live Z-Score training offers a more comprehensive way to train coherence without the worry of over training or under training. Learn why every clinician will want to incorporate Live Z-Score monitoring and/or training to their Neurofeedback toolbox. Regardless if you are using Live Z-Score as a “GPS system” and new targeting strategy or to simply monitor existing classic protocol choices (amplitude training etc) you will want to learn how Live Z-Score may revolutionize your protocol choices as well as your practice. – Experimental. You do not need equipment to attend.

Day 4 | 3:00 pm – 5:00pm

Hosted by: Mark Smith LCSW, BCIA-EEG

Goal for this session is to provide the participant with the support
needed to feel confident in using the information gained from Mini-Q,
Discovery qEEG reports generated via Neuroguide, and JTFA generated Z
score progress summary available in session reviews of Atlantis Z score
training sessions. The participant will be able to use the provided
materials as cognitive maps for organizing and analyzing the data which
the Z-score model provides. Trust in the reliability and validity of
these Z scores rests on the neurometric rigor of the Neuroguide database
(FDA 510k compliant).Review associations of Brodmann areas (BA) with
10-20 electrode sites and Loreta Regions of Interest.
