Dr Tiff Thompson is a clinical neuroscientist, licensed therapist, educator, and EEG technologist. She is the CEO and Founder of The School of Neurotherapy, an online educational platform offering specialised curricula in Quantitative EEG, Board Certification in Neurotherapy, and Neuromodulation education. Dr Thompson is also CEO and founder of NeuroField Neurotherapy, a Santa Barbara clinic addressing mental health, brain injury, and neurodiverse conditions.

Dr Nicholas Dogris is a licensed psychologist, neuroscientist, and pioneering neurotechnology innovator with over 25 years of clinical and research experience in EEG-based neurotherapy. He is CEO and co-founder of NeuroField, Inc., where he helped develop advanced EEG-synchronised neurostimulation and neuromodulation systems. Dr Dogris trains clinicians worldwide and practises in Santa Barbara, California.

Jay Gunkelman is one of the most recognised figures in clinical EEG and QEEG worldwide. With decades of experience interpreting EEG across clinical and research settings, he has trained thousands of practitioners internationally and remains a defining voice in the field of applied neuroscience.

Dr Siegfried Othmer is a pioneer in neurofeedback research and clinical application. As a physicist and neuroscientist, he co-founded the EEG Institute and has spent decades developing and refining neurofeedback protocols used with a wide range of clinical populations. His work spans the full lifespan, from early developmental conditions through to age-related decline.

Dr Jules Mitchell is a neuroscience researcher dedicated to bridging neuroimaging and clinical practice for real-world impact. He holds a Doctorate in Psychiatry and Neuroscience, a Master of Neuroscience, and a Bachelor of Psychological Science (First Class Honours). His work sits at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychiatry, and advanced EEG analysis, with a focus on non-linear brain dynamics and predicting treatment outcomes.

Dr Barbara Minton is a neurotherapy practitioner with extensive experience in clinical neurofeedback and applied neuroscience. Working in private practice, she brings a deep interest in the intersection of sound, music, and brain regulation, and has developed approaches to music-based entrainment for clinical use.

Associate Professor Andrea Phillipou is a leading clinical neuroscientist whose research focuses on the neurobiology and treatment of eating disorders. As Head of Eating Disorders Research at Orygen, she leads work exploring neurostimulation as a therapeutic approach for anorexia nervosa, contributing to a growing evidence base for brain-based interventions in this field.
