The premier meeting in the entire area of EEG biofeedback and an outstanding opportunity for in-depth interaction with the experts in the field.  

Joel Lubar,  

Past President, AAPB

A unique, congenial and free- wheeling    forum for the exchange of  practical information and ideas about the brain. My favorite brain meeting. 

Barry Sterman, Past President AAPB

Jim Robbins, Symphony in the Brain

If you want to learn the latest about neurotherapy, meet fellow neurotherapy researchers &   clinicians, and be inspired, this is the meeting to attend."  
 
Gary E. Schwartz,  Past AAPB Pres.  

Winter Brain Meeting opens the door for "all" of us to share our experiences & findings in a safe, nurturing environment.

Mary Jo Sabo,

Enrico Fermi School, Yonkers, NY

A meeting not to be missed if you are interested in the reasons for the "how-to" of  brain electrical recording. The meetings are, therefore, exciting and a haven for cross- fertilization of ideas and techniques    Karl Pribram

"Exciting and fun. This meeting covers Megabrain topics better than any other."

Michael Hutchison, Megabrain

"Best conference for leaders, innovators  

Angelo Bolea,    Psychologist

Your workshop is the only major one drawing field experts which allows concentrating on EEG, and completely avoiding any trace of politics and bureaucratic concerns.

Len Ochs

Rob (Kall) historically sets the standard for EEG Biofeedback Conferences.

Lynda Kirk, President, SNR (Society for Neuronal Regulation)

The Futurehealth Conference continues to be the premier event in the field of NF Where else can you talk to and listen to the leading researchers and practitioners in neurofeedback? The atmosphere is collegial, respectful and it's fun! If you only go to one conference this year, this is the one to go to.

Valdeane Brown, Clinical Psychologist, Neurofeedback Trainer  

I think the Futurehealth meeting is the best of the neurotherapy/ neurofeedback/ neurodiagnostics meetings. I think this not only because it is focussed on neuro- matters, but further, because its organizer manages to get the best people heavily involved.

Peter Rosenfeld, Northwestern Univ., AAPB Past President, Neurofeedback pioneer

Beautiful presentations by specialist pioneers.  Enjoyable workshops with refreshing dialog, continuing six months later.  The pace was surprisingly dynamic, maintaining exceptional interest.  A unique program...

Brian Costello,   Australia

It's hard to synthesize into words what an incredible experience your 97 conference was.  The words "family" and "community"aren't even strong enough to describe the sense of sharing, communion, creativity, and openness that I experienced in Palm Springs.  I truly believe this field is coming together as never before, and your conference provides it  a home base and a launching point.

Anna Wise, The High Performance Mind,   Esalen Mind Mirror Trainer

This is the one conference with the right attitude-- people come here with open hearts and minds. It’s THE meeting I go to to hear the NEW IDEAS, to hear what people are thinking.

Sue Othmer

"for people who are engaged in modern healing, psychotechnology and peak  performance, the EEG brain/mind conferences are an absolute must. We hope there will be more European participants in the near future."   

Uwe Gerlach

"I consider it one of the most important conferences in this field."

Bernard Brucker, U. Miami

The most interesting speakers, the most stimulating interaction, the most enjoyable atmosphere  -- if I could go to only one meeting a year this would be it.  Rob's   meeting is COOL.       
David Noton, Forest Institute

The best of the best from the best.  A veritable banquet for the discriminating mind tech gourmet.  The only meeting which succeds at bring it all together in a synergistic and congenial atmosphere.   In otherwords, I like it! <g> 

Dennis Campbell, EEG Spectrum

Richard Soutar

The single most important event of the year for practitioners, theorists, and lay people in the ADD arena. In particular, I appreciate the casual atmosphere, the opportunities for discussion and cross-pollination of topics & new information, & the omnipresent Jacuzzi. This conference has an extremely high level of scientific & speculative information combined with an honest, humility, and humanity which is usually lacking from those conferences put on by associations" & "professional groups" who are often more interested in status, politics, and self-aggrandizement than they are in people learning and enjoying themselves.

Thom Hartmann, author, ADD a Different Perspective; Hunters in a Farmer's World, (one of the most popular ADD circuit speakers

A Wonderfully varied conference with excellent speakers-- It's where to find the leading edge in neurofeedback.

Julian Isaacs, Esalen Trainer

Rob Kall sees the big picture. His conference is a "big tent", under which all the Neurofeedback 'camps' can play and interact, secure that they are all in the same family. You have to love a guy that does us all so much good!  Jay Gunkelman Program Chair , SNR annual meeting, President, SNR

Futurehealth has the right to restrict this offer to people taking advantage of other discounts  

Why do we do this hotel arrangement?

1) This meeting is more than just the imparting of information. It is the creation of a very very special community, which repeat attendees have grown to cherish and look forward to reconnecting with each year. We want you to stay at the hotel to be a part of it.

2) Because, in order to get a hotel with decent conference facilities, we need to commit to have a minimum number of rooms picked up by registrants.

We are very happy to have students participate in our meeting, since this is a way we can help bring new faces, new blood, new ideas and energy into the field. We make sure that most of the time, when you are fulfilling your work/study, that you are in lecture halls, helping with taping or making sure people have properly registered for workshops. Our goal is to make it a fun experience you can afford.  We'll also be glad to help you find room-mates to lower your hotel room costs.

We don't want to turn people away for financial reasons. Rates and arrangments  for students and people with financial difficulties available.    Reviewed on a case by case basis and tax statement may be required.

We love to see new faces and ideas.  our goal is to have each presenter talk about what is new and exciting-- giving him or her a buzz-- what you're passionate about.

This year, the early response has been amazing. 34 speakers responded in the first week after we put out the call.  If you can't make the meeting, but would like to submit a poster, contact us to discuss possibilities.
