How: Register here (Zoom link will be sent following registration)

“Like many diagnostic tools, not all brain maps are created equal,” said Neurologics President and founder Karen Odell-Barber, MS, CISD. “We are looking forward to diving into the diagnostic technologies available that can make cognitive assessment useful for learning-challenged students.”

Webinar attendees can expect to learn:

• How advances in brain imaging have contributed to the understanding of the brain’s cognitive functioning (how you think and respond).
• Appreciate the distinguishing features of brain mapping though quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and discriminant matching of biomarkers as compared to other brain imaging modalities.
• Understand who can benefit from brain mapping and what the value of a thorough assessment means in the future of specialized education and behavioural healthcare.
• Observe the significant impact of qEEG neurometrics and cognitive optimization on the improvement of educational outcomes, mental health symptoms, and maintenance of sobriety.

Odell-Barber founded Neurologics in 2015 and brings more than 25 years of experience as an adolescent and young adult therapist. She is an experienced public speaker and has presented at various behavioral health and neuroscience conferences throughout the US.

COL(R) Hack served as the Director of the Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP) at USAMRMC, where he coordinated trauma research across the Department of Defense, including a major emphasis on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He also has appointments as Adjunct Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Pittsburgh and Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Virginia Commonwealth University.
