Innovation Symposium on Brain-Computer Interfaces (Suzhou, China) - Guest Speaker to share about the application of Trauma-Informed Neurofeedback

 

一转眼，我已经提供脑波神经反馈训练neurofeedback training多达10多年了。在马来西亚，本来我是很孤独的，因为在这行的人实在不多，这个领域的专家也很少。但这几年，越来越多知音人出现，这个应用脑科学如今也被多国重点关注，亚洲各地都开始越来越多人重视脑机接口这一块。

今天除了感到很荣幸受邀给与讲座，跟中国民众分享创伤知情催眠与脑波反馈疗法的科学与益处，当看到中国各个顶流专家都给脑波反馈训练背书，我真的也倍感兴奋与感动。

In simple terms, I've been doing neurofeedback training for over 10 years. In Malaysia, it used to be quite lonely because not many people were into it. But in recent years, more people who understand it have shown up, and now several countries are paying serious attention to applying neuroscience.

Today, seeing top experts in China endorsing neurofeedback training, it really touched me.

APNA Asia Pacific 5th Neurofeedback Conference 2023 - Neurofeedback, Developmental Trauma, Special Education - Expert Panel and Paper Presenter

I’m proud to be one of the panelists and presenters for the APNA Neurofeedback Conference 2023. Our theme this year is all about neurofeedback, developmental trauma, and special education. I feel so good to be back in my hometown, Johor Bahru, to share knowledge about neurofeedback with the audience from all around the Asia Pacific Region. This marks my 10 years of practicing neurofeedback, and witnessing more and more young practitioners join the field sparks joy. I no longer feel alone when there are so many professionals such as clinical psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, pediatricians, neurologists, child psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, and more who joined the conference this time. I notice the majority of us are shifting from a “machine”-oriented approach to a more “humanistic” one, attuning to individual needs. It really touches my heart to see these changes.

Title: Clinical Neurofeedback: Brain training for children with special needs  

Abstract:

Human brain can be trained at any age and new neurons are produced throughout our life. The term of neuroplasticity is well accepted nowadays. Clinical Neurofeedback is based on the concept of neuroplasticity that trains the brain like a muscle. Clinical Neurofeedback is the clinical application of EEG Biofeedback method. It can be applied to some diagnosed (mental) conditions such as (ADHD, Autism, Learning Difficulties, Tics Disorder, Mood Issues). Clinical Neurofeedback is a form of tailored to individual needs training procedure used by trained practitioners to optimize various brain functions. This is essentially a way of teaching individuals on how to self-regulate their own brainwaves. It is safe, non-invasive and painless. A case study will be discussed on how Clinical Neurofeedback helps a child who diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder to reduce his autism symptoms and improving executive functioning. Different brainwaves profile of the various disorders will be discussed as well. We will also discuss about how Clinical Neurofeedback can effectively regulate different brainwaves profile of children who diagnosed with ADHD or for those who are having similar brainwaves pattern in order to reduce the undesirable symptoms of ADHD. At last, the heart of the potential of Clinical Neurofeedback to help manage Tourette syndrome and tics disorder will be discussed too.

[Event] Asia Pacific Neuro-biofeedback Association Conference 2017 - Autonomic Nervous Dysfunction Part

My presentation topic in APNA 2017 Conference:
Autonomic Nervous System Disorders

Abstract of My Presentation

Human brain can be trained at any age and new neurons are produced throughout our life. The term of neuroplasticity is well accepted nowadays. EEG biofeedback or neurofeedback is based on the concept of neuroplasticity that trains the brain like a muscle. Clinical Neurofeedback is the clinical application of EEG Biofeedback method. Meanwhile, Clinical Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals to improve a wide range of conditions including physical and mental aspect. Both are safe, non-invasive and painless procedure. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, autonomic nervous system (ANS) disorders can occur alone or as the result of another disease. When something goes wrong in our autonomic nervous system, it can cause serious problems including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), blood pressure and heart problems etc. Often, there is no cure for autonomic nervous system disorders but it is possible to improve those symptoms. Thus, a case study will be discussed on how Neuro-hypnotherapy method helps a client who suffered for ANS disorder symptoms. At last, we will also discuss about how to integrate Clinical Neurofeedback and Clinical Hypmosis to improve other ANS disorder symptoms.
