2026 Events:

TBD | Chiang Mai, Thailand | Braincode Academy

Join us for an immersive experience for mental health professionals, integrating neuroscience, mindfulness, and digital wellbeing. Hosted in Chiang Mai, it offers hands-on workshops, clinical case studies, and practical training in biofeedback, qEEG brain mapping, and mindfulness-informed psychotherapy, addressing screen addiction, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and somatic markers of distress, led by internationally renowned experts.

“Screen Addiction and Dependence in the 21st Century – What Went Wrong and Why?”

A science-based workshop on interactive screen-based technologies and their effects on our brains and biology.

This full day workshop will walk us through developmental biology, electroencephalographic neuroscience and social psychology, explaining how interactive screen technology got such a hold on our brains and culture by hijacking and piggybacking biological process and human need. Dr. Swingle will explore i-tech use that is integrative (positive advancement) versus interfering (negative unhealthy) demonstrating it is not if we do or don’t use technology that is the problem; it is HOW and WHY…. Including how much, how often,… and how young! –And how it is imperative that we all (re)learn to use i-tech as a complement not an override to our biology. Dr. Mari Swingle will close out the day presenting her groundbreaking research on a new APP SwingleSonic NeuroDelve pairing HRV and sound harmonics and their potential to influence the brain and body to reach higher states of quiet, BrainCalm, attention and memory, FOCUS, and combat sleep disturbance such as insomnia, SLEEP. Not so surprisingly, three classifications most affected by competitive as opposed to complementary technology use.

Please note, Dr. Mari Swingle is not anti-technology, anything but! Her criticism lies not in use, but misuse, and lack of transparency between producer and user in how we integrate and assimilate technologies before we a have any idea of, much less understand, or agree to their broader effects and affects.

This is your opportunity to explore and decide for yourself what aspects of the digital age you want to fully embrace, fully reject, and what just might require a little more research and thought.

Workshop – Mari Swingle, PhD

May 13th to 16th | Baltimore, USA | AAPB

The 56th annual scientific meeting is the premier international gathering of biofeedback and psychophysiology professionals- clinicians, educators, and researchers who together are shaping the future of brain-body health. This year it will be hosted in Baltimore, MD.

May 13th, 8:30am – 1:00pm: “HRV and Sound Therapy as Potentiators of EEG Training – DEEP DIVE”

Much like photobiomodulation, the pairing of audio stimulation / harmonic blends above and below auditory threshold
combined with HRV appears to notably potentiate neurotherapeutic outcome. This applies across training sessions (as
a home protocol) as well as within sessions immediately preceding EEG training. This presentation will show variation
in the EEG pre-post administration in isolation as well as pre-post EEG training. Attendees will be shown evidentiary
clinical data, including the mechanisms of action and relative attribution to HRV and sound frequency / color therapy.
Attendees will also learn how to prescribe specific protocols based on specific EEG phenotypes and clinical assessments.
The limitations and risk of this presentation are not in the content itself but the potential for clinical misinterpretation
and application without proper complementary knowledge, credentials and skill or supervision / mentorship while
acquiring such.

Presentation – Mari Swingle, PhD

“How screen based technology can change your brain. Interview with Dr Mari Swingle author of i-Minds”

“Dr Mari Swingle was one of the first people to warn us about the dangers of screen based technology. Her book i-Minds: How and Why Constant Connectivity is Rewiring our Brains and What to Do About It was first published in 2019. This well researched book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and promises this new technology poses for us. I found her explanation about why children have such difficulty getting off or dismounting from their technology compelling. Her intriguing phrase is that it involves vestibular system lock-in. Listen […] to hear her explanation for what is an all frequent occurrence in many households.”
