Flash Talks
1.0 CE Hour · Neurofeedback & HRV Blueprints
1. Principal Component Analysis of Western Aphasia Battery: A Novel Approach Towards Aphasia Classification Strategy
Kaylee Ray, MS, CCC-SLP; Roozbeh Behroozmand, PhD; John Solorzano-Restrepo, PhD — University of Texas at Dallas
Traditional labels such as Broca’s aphasia and Wernicke’s aphasia often fail to capture the striking variability among individuals with post-stroke aphasia. This presentation explores a data-driven reexamination of aphasia subtypes using Principal Component Analysis and hierarchical clustering of Western Aphasia Battery–Revised performance, offering a more precise and clinically meaningful strategy for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted intervention.
2. Neural and Behavioral Variability during Speech Auditory Feedback Control Across Post-Stroke Aphasia Subtypes
John Solorzano-Restrepo, PhD; Kaylee Ray, MS, CCC-SLP; Roozbeh Behroozmand, PhD — University of Texas at Dallas
This presentation investigates the behavioral and neurophysiological mechanisms of auditory feedback compensation in distinct subgroups of individuals with post-stroke aphasia, examining how speech impairment severity explains variability in auditory-motor integration deficits.
3. Doctoral Level Supervisors in University Neurofeedback Training Clinics: Navigating the Intersection of Counselor Education and Neuroregulation
Joss Leal, MS, LPC-Associate, NCC, CTP — University of Texas at San Antonio
This presentation proposes a conceptual pedagogical framework for doctoral students navigating the supervisory demands of university neurofeedback clinics, bridging traditional counselor education with the rigorous demands of neuroregulation practice.
4. Ultracortex Mark IV and Traditional Wet EEG Cap: A Comparative Analysis
Alexandria Flores; Reshmina Gilani — University of Texas at San Antonio
This presentation explores a comparative study of two QEEG cap types — the standard electrocap (wet cap) and a 3D-printed Ultracortex cap (dry cap) — examining comfortability, setup efficiency, and recording quality to support more effective and client-friendly QEEG processes.
5. Autonomic and Salivary Biomarker Responses to Brief HRV Biofeedback in Veterans with PTSD
Donna L. Schuman, PhD, LCSW, LPC, BCB, BCN — University of Texas at Arlington, School of Social Work
This presentation reports salivary biomarker findings from a randomized pilot trial of brief HRV biofeedback for veterans with PTSD, examining changes in interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and alpha-amylase alongside HRV and symptom outcomes to better understand physiological mechanisms and guide future trial design.
Upon completion, participants will be able to: (1) Summarize current research findings across multiple areas of applied psychophysiology including EEG, HRV biofeedback, and neurofeedback supervision; (2) Identify emerging methodologies and clinical applications presented by early-career researchers and practitioners; (3) Evaluate the relevance of presented findings to their own clinical or research practice.
