Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback

Dr. Chartier is a licensed psychologist and health service provider. He completed his undergraduate education in psychology and a Master’s degree program in counseling at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He then earned a Ph.D. degree in psychology from North Carolina State University. He began working with biofeedback in 1983 and in 1989 was an early adopter of neurofeedback and QEEG technology. Dr. Chartier was a founding member of SNR (now ISNR) and served as president in 1999. He was also a founding member of the Society for Advanced Brain Analysis (SABA) and the QEEG Certification Board (now the International QEEG Certification Board) serving as IQCB chairperson 2016 - 2018. Dr. Chartier is also a board member for the Southeastern Biofeedback and Clinical Neuroscience Association. His academic service has included a clinical associate professorship in the Psychiatry Department, UNC-CH School of Medicine. Dr. Chartier provides an annual lecture on QEEG, neurofeedback and biofeedback for the UNC-CH School of Medicine Complementary and Alternative Medicine Program. His recent publications include a chapter in Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback in the 21st Century: a handbook for clinicians and researchers and a chapter in The First 50 Years of Neurofeedback. Mary Blair Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Carolina. She completed her Masters in Professional Counseling at Liberty University. A graduate of Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Dellinger is BCIA Board Certified in neurofeedback. She has eight years experience conducting neurofeedback sessions with adults and children. She has specialized training in use of advanced procedures such as LORETA neurofeedback and NeuroGuide Software and BCIA certification in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback. She is both an ISNR member and a Magellan Scholar. Editor of recent publication Neurofeedback: The First Fifty Years. Dr. James Evans is licensed in clinical and school psychology. Following graduation with a bachelor's degree in education, and a tour of duty in the U.S. Army, he taught in a public high school. Later he earned a master's degree in psychology. After working for six years at a state hospital and a county mental health center, he attended Peabody College of Vanderbilt University where he received a Ph.D. degree in psychology. He was on the faculty of the Psychology Department at the University of South Carolina for thirty years, and is retired from that position. He has completed postdoctoral work in neuropsychology at the University of California at San Francisco, the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia. For over thirty years he also has maintained a successful private practice involving working with children and adults in hospital, school, prison, and private office settings. He has expertise in psychological, neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessment, as well as years of experience in psychotherapy and neurotherapy. He is the author of thirty-five journal articles and nine book chapters, and editor or co-editor of ten psychology-related books, including Rhythmic Stimulation Procedures for Neuromodulation (2017) and Neurofeedback: The First Fifty Years ( 2019). Presently he is self-employed as a psychologist at the Sterlingworth Center in Greenville, SC. Helen Kogan Budzynski worked in the Department of Psychosocial and Community Health at the University of Washington School of Nursing, Seattle, WA, United States.
