Clinical Applications of EEG Biofeedback
(ADD/ADHD, LD, Seizures, Depression, Drug Dependency, Head Injury...)

Dr Joel F. Lubar, Ph.D. received his B.S. and Ph.D. from the Division of the Biological Sciences and Department of Biopsychology at the University of Chicago. Dr Lubar has published more than 70 papers, many book chapters and eight books in the areas of Neuroscience and Applied Psychophysiology. He has been a Regional Editor for the journal Physiology and Behaviour, and an Associate Editor for Biofeedback and Self Regulation. He had been an Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester and currently Full Professor at the University of Tennessee.

Dr Lubar has been the President of the Academy of Certified Neurotherapists, which is now a specialty certification under Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA). He has been chair of the EEG biofeedback section of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) and is now the president of the AAPB. He has been co-director of the Southeastern Biofeedback and Neurobehavioral Institute, Knoxville, Tennessee since 1979.

Dr Lubar was responsible for developing the use of EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) as a treatment modality for children, adolescents and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder starting with controlled studies in the mid-1970’s. This application of neurofeedback is now becoming widespread in clinics and schools throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Currently, more than 700 health care organisations are using the EEG biofeedback protocols that Dr Lubar has developed. Dr Lubar has presented his research at many international meetings and was an invited keynote speaker at the Third International Conference in Biobehavioural Self Regulation and Health held in Tokyo, Japan in 1993. In 1992 he and his colleagues showed for the first time that children with the inattentive form of ADD without hyperactivity differ significantly in terms of quantitative EEG parameters from matched control non-ADD children. Dr Lubar is currently developing databases for the assessment of individuals with ADD/HD and is consulting for several controlled studies evaluating the effectiveness of Neurofeedback.
