James Seberger, MD
Peter James Seberger, MD is a primary care, integrative, and preventive medicine doctor. He obtained both Ph.D. and M.D. from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, completing a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology in 1999 and his M.D. in 2003. He then moved and finished his residency in Family Medicine in 2003 in Wichita, KS. He has practiced primarily emergency medicine for the last 10 years, but opened a direct care practice in 2012.
Dr. Seberger works with his wife, Veronica, RN, BSN, BCN at Cognitive Performance & Health. He has a family medicine practice where he employs many types of modalities: medicine, vitamin supplementation, and neurofeedback. He says, “I try to have as many tools in my tool box as I can. Sometimes patients are maxed out on medicines and they need additional means to control their blood pressure and get their glucose down.”
Presenting: Consciousness from Breathing: How Singlet Oxygen Creates Awareness, Memory, and Addiction
This lecture examines the fundamental derivation of consciousness from the medical context, using the Glasgow coma score. The different levels of consciousness in the medical context demonstrate lower cognitive response--to the point of unresponsiveness. This demonstrates the fundamental reliance of consciousness upon metabolism, which is the continued utilization of oxygen, to be oxidized by mitochondria in the brain. However, how does this oxidation allow for the variability to act, and how does it lead to memory and addiction? The present talk examines the ability of oxygen to be held in indeterminate quantum states, which allows for the effects of magnetic fields to impart information, leading to determinate chemical reactions. In the brain, these result in memory. Alas, when coupled to dopamine, addiction. Understanding these basic mechanisms offers a rational basis upon which to use magnetic and other electric fields in for the treatment of cognitive and addictive disorders.
Education Level: INTERMEDIATE
Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above. For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
