Dr. Justin Feinstein's talk will discuss float therapy, a brand new treatment for naturally reducing levels of stress and anxiety.  The presentation will provide an overview of this novel therapy, how it works, and how it can help individuals who suffer from stress and anxiety.

Justin Feinstein is a Clinical Neuropsychologist at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research and an Assistant Professor at the new Oxley College of Health Sciences at the University of Tulsa.  He received his PhD from the University of Iowa and completed his postdoctoral training at the California Institute of Technology.  His research examines how the human brain produces primal states of emotion, with an emphasis on the neuroscience of fear and treatments that alleviate anxiety.  His work has been published in a number of top scientific journals and has been featured in the popular press including the New York Times, TIME magazine, NPR, and New Scientist.  

​Dr. Feinstein serves as Director of the Float Clinic and Research Center (FCRC) at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research. The FCRC’s mission is to investigate the effects of floatation on both the body and the brain, as well as explore its potential as a therapeutic treatment for promoting mental health and healing in patients who suffer from anxiety.

Dr. Glover is Professor of Radiology, Biophysics and Neurosciences, Electrical Engineering and Psychology (by courtesy), and is Director of Radiological Sciences Laboratory (RSL) in the Department of Radiology as well as the Richard M. Lucas Center for Imaging.  He has extensive experience in virtually all aspects of diagnostic medical imaging dating back to 1975, and has been a pioneer in developing novel magnetic resonance imaging techniques for nearly 30 years and fMRI methods since 1992.  His group has pioneered the use of spiral k-space methods for fMRI and contributes to development of both acquisition and analysis technology in use by many investigators.  As director of the Lucas Center, Dr. Glover works with many scientists and their students in performing fMRI experiments and has vast experience in a broad field of cognitive neuroscience, but with particular emphasis on neuroimaging acquisition methods.  He mentors five of his own students and post docs as well as approximately 10 other students and junior faculty for whom he a secondary advisor, thesis reader or research consultant. 

Learning objectives:

1.  Discuss how Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation can affect brain function.
2.  Identify ways to monitor the stimulation sites.
3.  Learn how to apply this technology for basic and clinical applications.
