Brief Bio
Affiliate Professor of Psychology, University of Washington
Dr. Budzynski earned a BSEE at the University of Detroit and served as an aerospace inertial systems engineer on the SR-71 Blackbird project at Area 51. He later went back to academia to gain a Master’s and Ph.D. in psychology.
As a grad student in the mid 60s Dr. Budzynski invented one of the first EMG biofeedback systems. About 1970, Dr. Budzynski, along with John Picchiottino, developed the Twilight Learner, one of the first neurotherapy systems. Dr. Budzynski was elected President of the Biofeedback Research Society in 1974.
In the last few years he has returned once more to teaching and neurotechnology research at the University of Washington in Seattle where, with his wife Helen Kogan Budzynski, he is conducting studies on AVS (audio-visual stimulation) effects on the brain, priming effects of binaural tones on the EEG, chronic fatigue syndrome, applications to chronic pain, enhanced academic performance, and the enhancement of cognitive process in the head injured, learning disordered, and the elderly.
Dr. Budzynski has lectured and headed workshops on these topics in many foreign countries as well as the USA. In 1999 he received the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback at their annual meeting in Vancouver B.C., Canada.
In 2002 he received a Career Achievement award from the International Society for Neuronal Research. At present he is an Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington and co-editing “Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback, Advanced Theory and Applications, 2nd edition” for Elsevier.
He is also a licensed psychologist in the State of Washington and maintains an active private practice of neurotherapy and biofeedback in his clinic in Poulsbo, Washington where he uses the very latest neurofeedback therapy (Z-Score Training) with clients suffering from learning disorders, traumatic head injury, depression and anxiety.
