Dr. Angelo Bolea
Dr. Angelo Bolea has seen more difficult psychiatric in-patients with neurofeedback than anyone. He has been teaching
neurophysiology and neurofeedback for many years.

He started general biofeedback in 1987-88, adding EEG biofeedback in 1989-90. He was the one of the first to add NF in a hospital setting.

He now lectures and teaches, while seeing patients in his busy private practice in Maryland.  This is a man who clearly loves
working with patients.
