Dr. Angelo Bolea has probably seen more difficult psychiatric inpatients with neurofeedback than anyone. He has also taught neurophysiology and neurofeedback for many years.
He started general biofeedback in 1987-88, adding EEG biofeedback in 1989-90. He was one of the first to add neurofeedback in a hospital setting.
He now lectures and teaches, while seeing patients in his busy private practice in Maryland. This is a man who clearly loves working with patients.
How do you explain neurofeedback to patients and other professionals?
What happened when you added neurofeedback to the work you were already doing?
Dr. Ed Hamlin is a one of the founders of a major psychiatric clinic in North Carolina – the Pisgah Institute in Asheville, NC.

Dr. Hamlin did his clinical psychology training at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. His neuropsych training was at Duke University with Pat Loeb. He’s an associate professor at a university in western North Carolina and mentors interns as part of his practice.
How do you explain neurofeedback to patients who have never heard of it?
Do you ever get questions like – ‘how is this different than just playing a computer game’?
How is life different as a neuropsychologist since you added neurofeedback?
