Australasia's Applied Neuroscience Community

The 2026 ANSA Conference is an Australasian event bringing together clinicians and practitioners working across neurofeedback, neuromodulation, and applied neuroscience, along with educators, students, and other professionals with an interest in the field.

Through presentations, speakers, and shared clinical experience, the conference provides a strong learning environment alongside opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. With a focus on real-world application, it explores how these approaches are used in practice to support assessment, intervention, and outcomes across the lifespan.

Clinicians using or exploring neurofeedback and neuromodulation

Practitioners applying EEG and QEEG findings to inform treatment

Professionals working across the full lifespan, children through adults

Students and early-career professionals in neurotherapy

School of Neurotherapy
All-Levels Masterclass

2026 School of Neurotherapy All-Levels Masterclass

14–18 September 2026 • Available in person and online

This intensive five-day training is designed to bring clinicians and technicians up to speed on the full range of NeuroField technologies and applications. Created for professionals of all experience levels, this comprehensive course combines didactic lectures with hands-on training.

Participants will learn practical techniques for collecting and interpreting brain data, applying neuromodulation protocols, and translating neurophysiological insights into clinical treatment strategies.

There is no need to own or purchase NeuroField systems to attend, the training is relevant across many systems. The NeuroField EEG acquisition software is compatible with Mitsar amplifiers and others.

  • EEG acquisition and recording
  • QEEG analysis and interpretation
  • Event-related potentials (ERPs)
  • Neurostimulation approaches
  • Neurofeedback applications
  • Case formulation and protocol development
  • Hands-on practical sessions
