Webinar Recordings are OPEN again!

We'd like to thank you for your patience as we sorted through our Webinar Recording catalog.  We are happy to say that it is now open again for you to view previously purchased webinars and to purchase new recordings.  There are some recordings that we had to remove for various reasons.  If you had purchased one of these and have not had the opportunity to review it for CE's, please contact our office and we will work with you to provide a replacement webinar.  There are no refunds available, but we are happy to replace the recordings that are no longer available with alternate selections. If you have questions, please EMAIL [email protected].

BCIA Webinar 2024-05 BF CU Webinar: Performance Capnography – Breathing Biofeedback for Acid-Base Physiology Balance

Friday, May 31, 2024 

Presented by: Scott Sonnon

Our course examines key respiratory biometrics in breathing behavioral biofeedback instrumentation. Past research demonstrates that breathing behavioral changes act as buffering mechanisms to maintain or restore acid-base physiological homeostasis, operationalized as pH balance. As a “performance-oriented” course, the theoretical foundation of breathing behavior is as an adaptive neurophysiological (medullary-mediated) response to external insults and impacts and internal perceptual, emotional, and metabolic demands. This course asks how chronic, conditioned breathing behavior triggers, exacerbates, perpetuates, and causes acid-base physiological instability, known as respiratory alkalosis, operationally defined in performance capnography as hypocapnia. Unlike static clinical environments, this course introduces dynamic physical activity as an attenuator of acid-base instability, operationalized through capnometric metabolic analysis, and introduces breathing education as a toolset for physically and cognitively restructuring breathing behavior. Conditioned, maladaptive compromises to compensatory breathing behavior will be discussed, though organic and structural deficiencies that interact or cause breathing behavioral changes will not be addressed, as the latter enter the domain of pulmonological pathology and respiratory therapy. Respiratory psychophysiology complements other biofeedback instrumentation and methodologies (e.g., HRV, EEG, and EMG biofeedback) by offering tangible, physical breathing interventions that contribute to successful self-regulation experiences. Though the intent of this course is to introduce breathing behavioral biofeedback, integration with other instrumentation exceeds the scope of this introduction. The presenter holds no commercial involvement in breathing behavioral instrumentation or education and has no conflicts of interest.

Registration opening soon!

Thank you,

Recertification Fees in Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, PMDB and HRV Certification:

Dates and Fees: 

  • January 1 - June 30: $225
  • July 1 - October 31: $250
  • After November 1: $275

Your certification remains valid through the end of your recertification year, however, BCIA offers a price break for filing your application early.  Your new certificate will not be mailed to you until early September to avoid the possibility of loss.

Candidates for recertification must complete 48 hours of accredited continuing education related to the Blueprint (Senior Fellows and Technicians only 30 hours). 

  • 10-hours must be specific to your modality (6-hours for Senior Fellows/Technicians)
  • 3-hours of ethics/professional standards course work. 

Please note if you are currently certified in more than one area (Biofeedback and Neurofeedback or Biofeedback and PMDB), each recertification fee is reduced by $25.

Recertification Application

BCIA certifies individuals who meet education and training standards in biofeedback and neurofeedback and progressively recertifies those who advance their knowledge through continuing education.

BCIA works to serve the field of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback and most importantly you, our clients, who visit our website, apply for certification and recertification, enroll in continuing education activities, or have expressed interest in our programs. We hope you’ll find the information on our website beneficial.
