Letter From the Conference Chair, Leslie Sherlin 
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to an ISNR conference for the third year as the conference chair. For this 18th Annual International Conference of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research I am delighted to host you in Denver, Colorado, one of the few cities in history that was not built on a road, railroad, lake, navigable river or body of water when it was founded. It just happened to be where the first few flakes of gold were found in 1858. ISNR, like Denver, has grown from golden ideas and holds a bright and rich future.  With this spirit I invite you to join in a collective reflection on what our field has accomplished during these past 18 years, and on the scholarly challenges before us.

Consider joining those members who have already pledged up to $1 from each session's fee to the ISNR Research Foundation. If you would like to be a part of this program, please completeTHIS FORM.
 
ISNR would like to thank Dr. Vince Monastra for applying for a position on the Advisory Steering Committee for Development of Clinical Treatment Guidelines of the American Psychological Association and Thomas Bearden for cosponsoring him along with ISNR. We hope to have a voice in this very important committee.

Thank you to all of you who submitted comments for the Wellstone Domenici Mental Health Parity Act. ISNR would like to thank member Lawrence Hirshberg for his efforts in this very important project! More information can be found HERE.

Definition of Neurofeedback:
Like other forms of biofeedback, NFT uses monitoring devices to provide moment-to-moment information to an individual on the state of their physiological functioning.  The characteristic that distinguishes NFT from other biofeedback is a focus on the central nervous system and the brain.  Neurofeedback training (NFT) has its foundations in basic and applied neuroscience as well as data-based clinical practice.  It takes into account behavioral, cognitive, and subjective aspects as well as brain activity.

Definition of Biofeedback:
Biofeedback is a process that enables an individual to learn how to change physiological activity for the purposes of improving health and performance. Precise instruments measure physiological activity such as brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity, and skin temperature. These instruments rapidly and accurately "feed back" information to the user. The presentation of this information — often in conjunction with changes in thinking, emotions, and behavior — supports desired physiological changes. Over time, these changes can endure without continued use of an instrument.
This definition was ratified by the Task Force on Nomenclature in April of 2008
