Tomas Ros Bio:https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/70712/bio
PhD with John Gruzelier at the University of London, he used transcranial magnetic stimulation to probe for the plastic effects of neurofeedback, showing for the first time cortical excitability changes directly after a training session (Ros et al 2010, Eur J Neuro). He then joined Ruth Lanius at University of Western Ontario, a specialist in neuroimaging of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), where they uncovered a neurofeedback protocol that positively correlated with reductions in mind-wandering, together with enhanced functional connectivity in a key cognitive control network (Ros et al 2013, NeuroImage). This led to the first translational study investigating its impact on patients with PTSD, revealing a positive effect on well-being and a plastic modulation of salience/default-mode networks (Kluetsch et al 2014, Acta Scand Psych).
His research interests at the University of Geneva was focused on the potential application of neurofeedback in the study of neurocognitive function as well as in the treatment of brain disorders (for example, major depression). His aim was to use multiple windows (fMRI, EEG and TMS) to explore the brain's remarkable plasticity, in the hope that the outcome of this research may inform future treatment options for psychiatry and neurorehabilitation.

Listener Questions Answered - Neurofeedback, EEG, QEEG, Equipment and Training
Our Neuropsychologists Dr. Laura Jansons, Dr. Skip Hrin, and Neurofeedback Tech legend Jay Gunkelman answer the following listener-submitted question from Lisa C.
Hello Pete, I am a therapist using LENS neurofeedback I have been working through the podcast episodes and it is wonderful! I hope you all keep it going. I have a couple suggestions for questions to address:
From the parents' or clients' point of view, I often get asked how long will it take and how long will it last. Many do not seem to understand that much of the great changes and symptom reductions are long-term. I would love to hear Skip, Laura or Jay's take on that.
From a clinician's side: I would like to get BCIA certified and EEG certified. Are there courses or trainings that your team would recommend? Anything to avoid? Also, can they recommend equipment that would allow me to do QEEGs? LENS is somewhat different than traditional neurofeedback, as it is more a disentrainment method, and does not record the EEG for viewing after. It has been an AMAZING addition to my practice and my therapists under me are all trained with it, but the Q capability is something I definitely want to add.
Keep up the great work getting the word out!! Thanks much, Lisa C
