Application of ERPs for Diagnosis and Prognosis
Presented by: Yuri Kropotov
The lecture updates the attendees on the current state of the art in clinical applications of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs). Recent studies of the functional meaning of ERP components (MMN, P300, ERN, P3 NOGO) and their application for diagnosis and prognosis in clinical neuroscience are reviewed. The application of ERP components in the cued GO/NOGO task for diagnosis of brain dysfunctions (ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, OCD, depression…) will be presented. The methodology of application of ERP components for constructing protocols of neuromodulation (neurofeedback, tDCS, TMS) will be formulated.
Learning Objectives:
o Participants will be able to discuss recent studies of ERP components and demonstrate their application for diagnosis and prognosis in clinical neuroscience.
o Participants will be able to demonstrate how to apply ERP components in the cued GO/NOGO task for diagnosis of brain dysfunctions.
o Participants will be able to demonstrate how to apply ERP components for constructing protocols of neuromodulation (neurofeedback, tDCS, TMS) will be formulated.
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.
