Networks, Physiology, and the Body–Brain Basis of Clinical Presentations
3 days · 9:00–17:00 · teaching combined with case discussion and applied practice
English edition in Cyprus · dates to be announced
A systems-level, physiologically grounded understanding of brain function, beyond classic neurofeedback targets (SMR, theta/beta, alpha). Participants learn to reason about why a client presents the way they do, across the default mode, salience, central executive and cingulate networks and the autonomic and respiratory systems, in trauma, anxiety and stress, cognitive challenges and neurodivergent presentations.
Programme
Three days, three layers
Day 1
Large-scale brain networks: the architecture behind the symptom
From localisation to networks · How we see the brain: EEG/qEEG, fMRI, PET, SPECT, fNIRS and what each can and can’t show · The default mode, salience and central executive networks and the cingulate cortex, with the evidence for each
Day 2
Networks under load: trauma, anxiety and cognitive challenges
Developmental trauma and network dysregulation · The autonomic nervous system as the body’s half of the story · Anxiety and stress regulation · Cognitive challenges and neurodiversity
Day 3
Physiological measures and practice in support of the brain
Heart rate variability · Breathing physiology · Brain oxygenation and cerebral blood flow · Neurofeedback and brain–computer interfaces: directly training the networks · Other physiological measures worth integrating
