2019 ANSA Conference & Workshops: GATEWAY to HEALTH

http://www.appliedneuroscience.org.au/events Gateway to Health: 2019 ANSA Annual Conference & WorkshopsThe Applied Neuroscience Society of Australasia is a membership organization comprised of health professionals from Australia, Australasia and New Zealand who are involved in the promotion of better mental health. ANSA promotes education and professional excellence in the fields of Applied Psychophysiology, Neurotherapy and Nutrition seeking to strengthen acceptance of these disciplines as viable avenues for intervention to promote self-regulation in mental health and well-being. ANSA members and other professionals interested in applied neuroscience, are cordially invited to participate our annual workshops and conference to be held in Cairns, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Preconference Workshop presenters:Dr. Ronald J. Swatzyna is the Director of Electro-Neurophysiology Research and Director of Neurotherapy at the Tarnow Center in Houston, Texas. For the past 20 years, Dr. Swatzyna has analyzed and treated the most diagnostically challenging cases in both inpatient and outpatient settings. As a researcher, he has presented and/or published over 60 peer-reviewed papers on brain dysfunction, psychotropic Medic*tion and other related topics at national and international conferences. In addition, Dr. Swatzyna is a Special Editor for WebmedCentral and Clinical EEG and Neuroscience. Prior to his career in mental health, Dr. Swatzyna served in both the Vietnam and the first Gulf War. His personal battle, with traumatic brain injury and PTSD, motivated him to become a leading expert in brain dysfunction. In addition to a keynote address during the conference weekend, Dr Swatzyna will teach two preconference workshops:Mental Health Neurobiomarkers: discovering neurological/physiological causes for symptoms is key for successful treatment, Thursday 22/08/19 Pharmaco-EEG & Neuromodulation, Friday 23/08/19Dave Siever graduated in 1978 as an engineering technologist who initially worked to design TMJ Dysfunction related diagnostic equipment and research facilities. Dave had noted anxiety issues in many patients suffering with TMJ dysfunction, prompting him to study biofeedback, which he applied to the patients and then later, Dave design biofeedback devices. In 1984, Dave designed his first audio-visual entrainment (AVE) device – the “Digital Audio-visual Integration Device,” or DAVID1. Through his company, Mind Alive Inc., Dave has been researching and refining AVE technology, specifically for use in relaxation, boosting academic performance and treating anxiety, depression, PMS, ADD, FMS, SAD, pain, cognitive decline and insomnia. Dave also designs Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) products and is a leading provider of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS) and devices. As a result of Dave’s commitment to research, Mind Alive Inc now owns three patents involving neurotechnology. Dave continues to conduct research, perform a quantitative EEG service and designs new products pertaining to enhanced performance and mental wellness. In addition to a conference keynote presentation, Dave Siever will teach a 2-day workshop:Physiology and Clinical Outcomes with Brain Stimulation Technologies: Audio-visual Entrainment (AVE), Cranio-electro Stimulation (CES) & transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS), 2-day Workshop, 22nd & 23rd August 2019 Also announcing presenters: Martijn Arns, Dirk de Ridder, David Cantor, Nick Dogris, Tiff Thomspon, Rivi Sela, Herbert Jelenik, Gerogina Hale, Adrian van Deusen, Peggy Hill, Martha Mack, and more...FULL PROGRAM available for download here.
