Unit information
Extend your knowledge of methods and processes from NEUR335/535 Clinical Neuroscience, with this unit, offering an advanced understanding of the interventions and neuroscience techniques that inform clinical practice with people with behavioural disorders.
Exploring clinical processes drawn from the biofeedback literature, you will evaluate strategies for planning and applying interventions.
This unit requires you to reflect upon the ways in which various applications are used within clinical settings for the treatment of diverse neurological disorders. Focusing on direct current stimulation, trans-cranial stimulation, neurofeedback, EEG feedback, as well as other modalities such as cardiovascular, electromyography, and temperature feedback, you will have the opportunity to learn how to utilise an array of cutting-edge techniques.
