Educational Objectives
This workshop is designed for teaching BCIA’s 15-hour Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback didactic blueprint, along with an additional hour of combining biofeedback with neurofeedback (using a modular approach). This workshop also emphasizes hands-on learning and mastery of entry-level knowledge.
Attendees should be able to:
- Explain the cardiac, respiratory, and autonomic anatomy and physiology that underlines HRV biofeedback
- Discuss the meaning and sources of HRV as well as the correlates of low, normal, and high HRV
- Explain how to properly use HRV instruments and interpret signals form blood volume pulse, electrocardiogram, and pneumograph sensors
- Describe and interpret HRV time and frequency domain measurements
- Explain how to assess and train clients to increase their baroreceptor reflex and HRV time/frequency domain measurements
- Describe the efficacy of major clinical and optimal performance HRV applications
