TABLE OF CONTENTS
WelcomeAssociation for Applied Psychophysiology & Biofeedback (AAPB), the pioneering professional society devoted to education and research in this field, welcomes you to its 49th Annual Scientific Meeting.
The goal of this conference is to bring clinicians, physicians, researchers and professionals involved with biofeedback and applied psychophysiology together to exchange information, ideas, scientific data and to share experiences. 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. Hot topics in biofeedback encompass HRV, Neurofeedback, Optimal Performance.
Our dynamic schedule of presenters and subject matter categorization was designed with YOU — applied psychophysiology and biofeedback professionals — in mind. At the meeting, you will:
• Learn effective practices, practical ideas, and innovative solutions in sessions covering hot topics, basic science, clinical Interventions, interpersonal communications and optimal performance
• Connect with vendor partners who offer a wealth of information on new products, services and solutions for your needs
• Engage with professionals who share common interests

CONFERENCE TRACKS and LEVELS
The meeting sessions are categorized into the following TRACKS, to allow you to select those sessions that are most relevant to you.
Basic Science (All Levels): Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback are objective and evidence-based fields. They are grounded in an understanding of several related disciplines; neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, public health and others. AAPB supports and encourages research that contributes to the development and growth of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback and the program committee is seeking quality research from any discipline linked to biofeedback or applied psychophysiology. These sessions focus on underlying mechanisms and may be experimental or descriptive or literature reviews.
Clinical Interventions and Optimal Performance: Sessions in this track target licensed clinicians working with patients as well as performance trainers and educators working with clients. These sessions provide evidence for successful biofeedback training options. The presentations typically involve patients wanting specific therapeutic treatments and interventions to address clinically diagnosed problems or, healthy clients wanting to improve overall functioning seeking techniques and approaches to enhance optimal performance.
Hot Topics: Presentations featured in this track are focused on new ideas, technological advances, challenges and new applications of psychophysiological science. These sessions will provide a venue for more speculative thinking as well as information on developments from other disciplines that could impact the way we conduct biofeedback. The emerging area of portable, miniaturized, wearable or implantable sensors is one example of a Hot Topic.
All session LEVELS are categorized as Introductory, Intermediate, Advanced and All. Complete information, including session descriptions, learning objectives, presenter bios, associated risks, practice GAP correction analysis and more are available online at www.aapb.org, in full compliance with APA and AMA continuing education requirements.

ABOUT OUR RECIPIENT:In 1998, Dr. Vaschillo graduated from the Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (Russia) with a master’s degree in electromechanical engineering. Right after graduating, he worked at the companies supporting the Russian space program, where he studied heart rate variability (HRV) and effects of rhythmical stimulation of the cardiovascular system by breathing, muscle tension, and emotion. His work particularly emphasized the baroreflex and the possibilities of applying resonance frequency HRV biofeedback to train Russian cosmonauts to function better in space. After getting his PhD in human and animal physiology at the Scientific Research Institute for Experimental Medicine (in1983), he worked on developing physiological methods to evaluate and control functional states of the ‘human-operator’ in extreme environmental conditions, with applications to cosmonaut crews, submarine crews, and athletic teams. Later, these techniques were expanded to treat patients with asthma and various neuroses as well as to sport performance. In 1998 he came to United States and has continued studying the cardiovascular system and the baroreflex using biofeedback.

David Creswell, PhD, Director of the Health and Human Performance Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon University Level: IntermediateTrack: Hot TopicsCE Credits: 1
Over the last two decades there has been significant interest in mindfulness training interventions for health. But little is known about how these interventions, which train a mindset of
being open and receptive to present moment experience, might affect health over time. In this talk, Dr. Creswell will describe current mindfulness intervention approaches, and a series of studies he has conducted that depict potential brain and physiological stress reduction pathways linking these interventions with a broad range of health outcomes. Dr. Creswell’s will share the science and application of this affordable, evidence-based approach for fostering stress resilience.
About Dr. Creswell:J. David Creswell is an Associate Professor in Psychology and the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University. His work focuses on understanding what makes people resilient under stress, and includes work on mindfulness and self-affirmation processes. David received the American Psychological Association and the American

The field of mental health is divided in its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches: Biological vs Psychological, Body Vs mind, Neurochemical intervention Vs Brain
modulation. There is a need for a comprehensive approach which brings different fields together on solid theoretical grounds- a methodology which enables us to bridge the gap in our understanding of different systems and offers a comprehensive multi modal therapeutic synthesis. BrainWellness center diagnostic and treatment methodology is such an attempt. It involves comprehensive diagnostic evaluation integrating BIO stress TEST, qEEG analysis and psychodynamic formulations in one whole and then offers qEEG informed psychotropic use, BIO feedback, Neurofeedback, Brain modulation (transcranial magnetic stim) along with Psychotherapy in one integrated session. This current presentation is to explore the theoretical basis of such an integration and its implementation in daily clinical setting.
About Dr. Asif:Hasan Asif, MD, founder and Medical Director of the Brain Wellness Center, is a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in private practice for fifteen years. A 1990 graduate of A.I.M.C in Lahore, Pakistan, Dr. Asif finished post graduate training in psychiatry at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York in 1995. In 1996 he joined the faculty of the University of West Virginia as assistant professor of psychiatry. He served as a Medical Director of Adult Partial Hospital in Four Winds Hospital in Katonah, NY. Currently, he is a consulting psychiatrist at Lawrence Hospital Center in Bronxville, New York.

The AAPB Distinguished Scientist Award is presented annually “in recognition of an outstanding career and scientific contribution to the field of applied psychophysiology and
biofeedback.” This award recognizes a scientist who has advanced Biofeedback through a significant body of research conducted, as judged by publications, awards and peer reviews, and has made a major impact upon the field of study, both nationally and/or internationally. Nominees must hold a doctoral degree in a psychology, biomedical science, medicine, or other health-related field. Recipients are selected based on the following evaluation criteria: scientific importance of research discoveries; mentorship of students, postdoctoral fellows, and new faculty; continued impact on the field.
Dr. Vaschillo’s career in the biofeedback field in the United States has been aided by teamwork with his teacher and friend Paul Lehrer. For the past 20 years they have worked together to investigate cardiovascular regulation and specifically the baroreflex; both are related to HRV biofeedback, which is a method of controlling them and helping them to restore balance in autonomic nervous

system. They consider biofeedback to be a biological procedure by which external feedback improves human ability to voluntarily control autonomic functions and some parameters of brain function. Heart rate variability biofeedback can be used to treat various physiological and mental disorders and diseases. Heart rate variability biofeedback can also be applied to investigating natural mechanisms for regulation of various physiological processes. Biofeedback allows us to impose sine-wave oscillations in the cardiovascular system (CVS) processes, thus allowing us to apply classical engineering approaches to studying CVS functioning. They have successfully used HRV biofeedback for treating various neuroses, asthma, fibromyalgia, and post-concussion syndrome, and depression but the main part of our studies used biofeedback as a tool for CVS functioning investigation. The results of using HRV biofeedback for treatment, as well as for investigating CVS functioning will be presented.
They have studied: • Resonance properties of the CVS, • HRV biofeedback effects on various CVS processes and
the baroreflex system, • Features of each of the three baroreflex branches, • More recently, we have investigated the possibility of
using paced rhythmical sighing as a tool to explore CVS functioning in the frequency range of 0.05-0.08 Hz, which relates to vascular tone (VT) control. This work could be the basis for developing a VT biofeedback procedure for treating various vasomotor disorders.
ABOUT DR. Vaschillo:In 1968, Dr. Vaschillo graduated from the Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (Russia) with a master’s degree in electromechanical engineering. Right after graduating, he worked at the companies supporting the Russian space program, where he studied heart rate variability (HRV) and effects of rhythmical stimulation of the cardiovascular system by breathing, muscle tension, and emotion. His work particularly emphasized the baroreflex and the possibilities of applying resonance frequency HRV biofeedback to train Russian cosmonauts to function better in space. After getting his PhD in human and animal physiology at the Scientific Research Institute for Experimental Medicine (in1983), he worked on developing physiological methods to evaluate and control functional states of the ‘human-operator’ in extreme environmental conditions, with applications to cosmonaut crews, submarine crews, and athletic teams. Later, these techniques were expanded to treat patients with asthma and various neuroses as well as to sport performance. In 1998 he came to United States and has continued studying the cardiovascular system and the baroreflex using biofeedback.
