Introducing a new Educational Track- ISNR Foundations

Dear Colleague:

The 24th Annual ISNR Conference in Orlando, Florida is rapidly approaching and we would like to announce the premiere of ISNR Foundations. I am excited about this new track in the conference program for 2016. In summary, ISNR Foundations is for newbies, students, novices or any practitioner who may need or desire basic level presentations and workshops to sharpen their knowledge and/or skills.

The ISNR Foundations track will be two full days of programs, focusing on clinical basics. Please come and join us at the conference - those of you who are new to the field and those of you who would like to fill in any "gaps" in your learning curves will discover content that is interesting and useful. We are working to increase attendance and membership by offering this new track with the goal that it will attract some of the people in the field who may not feel ready to attend the entire conference for one reason or another.

The ISNR Foundations track will be held on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 for Pre-Conference workshops and Thursday, September 22, 2016 for oral presentations, small group discussions and Conference workshops. We invite you to come and listen as Michael and Lynda Thompson share how they work with ADD in their clinic. Also listen to Leslie Sherlin discuss Optimal Performance, Joel Lubar speak about LORETA in a way we all can understand, Glenn Weiner and Mike Cohen introduce the basics of Neurofeedback and QEEG, and ISNR’s incoming President, Joy Lunt, provide information on how to get started with your own Neurofeedback practice.

ISNR is very interested in meeting the needs of all of our members, so we have listened to your feedback and are launching this new track as part of our conference this year. ISNR Foundations does not, however, take the place of other conference programming; I assure you there will be plenty of content for attendees of all levels of expertise to choose from.

Please join us at this year’s conference and receive the benefits from being around and interacting with other people who think in terms of "brains." The energy and enthusiasm that is generated at the ISNR Conference each year are guaranteed to send you home with renewed excitement, new ideas and new friends!
