About
the instructors:
Siegfried Othmer, Ph.D., is one of the pioneers of the field of
neurofeedback. As a physicist active in aerospace his attention was drawn
to neurofeedback through his son's intractable epilepsy. The year was
1985. This opened the door to a remarkable development in which
neurofeedback was found to be helpful across a broad range of conditions
of interest to the mental health professional.
Along with his wife Susan, Siegfried Othmer established EEG Spectrum as a
service delivery organization for neurofeedback in 1988, and they have
just recently established the Brian Othmer Foundation in memory of their
son to promote research, education and clinical services in neurofeedback.
Susan
Othmer is a leader in the clinical application of neurofeedback since
1988. She has introduced thousands of professionals to the field of
neurofeedback. She continues her clinical work and development of new
assessment and training approaches as Clinical Director of the EEG
Institute in California.
