APPLIED NEUROSCIENCE AND BIOFEEDBACK IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS

NEW METHODS FOR ASSESSMENT, TREATMENT AND SELFT REGULATION


The workshop is focused in demonstrating and discussing the important topic concerning how some recent developments of Neuroscience can be today used in order to better the intervention in any educational environments.

During the workshop two methods, coming from Neuroscience Laboratories will be illustrated and explained. They are Quantitative EEG and Quantitative Electrodermal Activity.

Such parameters can be today easily monitorized thanks to some new hardware and software which are inexpensive and that can be easily used, after a short training in the educational setting. Basic information will be given concerning how to use such new methods when working with students. More detailed information will be given about Quantitative Monitoring of Electrodermal Activity, a new methods that Tullio Scrimali developed and experimented for many years. This method is the simplest to be put into practice in Cognitive Therapy an it is also the less expensive. A new tool, called MindLAB Set, developed by Tullio Scrimali, will be carefully explained. Its allows the Teacher to create some new kind of setting in the educational environment, focused on developing in any student both self-knowledge and self control.

A MindLAB Set and the software MindSCAN and Psychofeedback will be at disposal of the audience for practicing during the workshop that includes some practical trials, both in the field of assessment and in that of self regulation. The participant are asked, if possible, to carry with them a PC such as a Notebook or a Netbook. The operative system should be any version of Microsoft Windows.


An E-book, will be offered, for free, to any participant! The title is:
