Dr. Christoph Garner
Dr. Christoph Garner brings decades of experience in the application of Neurofeedback in clinical settings. His particular focus is on the treatment of ADHD and sleep disorders. He is a committed advocate for this technology and has helped promote its use and acceptance.
Vita of Dr. Christoph Garner
Dr. Garner was born in Munich in 1949 and completed his high school diploma and medical studies in Munich from 1976 to 1982. From 1982 he worked at the University Hospital Großhadern and later became a specialist. From 1992 to 2017 Garner was chief physician at the KWA Klinik Stift Rottal.

Dr. Garner enjoys a reputation as a mediator between conventional medicine and alternative medicine, which is based, among other things, on his enthusiasm for India. At the KWA Klinik Stift Rottal, Garner therefore initiated cooperation projects with Indian partners such as the Vivekananda University (Bangalore) and the Ayushakti Center (Mumbay) from the 90s onwards.
In addition, he also introduced a program into the KWA Clinic that is specifically dedicated to children with spastic paralysis, stroke patients and patients with traumatic brain injuries, the so-called Petö therapy concept.
Recently, Dr. Garner and the KWA Clinic have been in close contact with the Institute for EEG-NeurofeedbackGarner is a proven EEG expert who, together with Thomas F. Feiner, will organize special QEEG courses at the clinic in the future.

Dr. Laura Maffongelli
Dr. Laura Maffongelli is a leading expert in cognitive neuroscience. Her research focuses on the interactions between brain and behavior, particularly in the context of learning and memory processes. She is also an experienced lecturer and has taught numerous students in basic and advanced topics in neuroscience.
Dr. Laura Maffongelli completed her studies in neurolinguistics at the Philipps University of Marburg in 2011. Shortly thereafter, she moved back to her home country, where she completed her doctorate in cognitive science at the University of Genoa (Italian Institute of Technology, Italy) in 2015. Since then, her research interests have focused on the relationship between language and action with regard to the syntactic mechanisms involved.

She investigated the neurophysiological basis of the processing of complex action sequences during action observation, first in adults (Robotic, Brain and Cognitive Sciences (RBCS) at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, 2012-2015) and later in infants (PostDoc at the University of Zurich, Department of Developmental Psychology, 2015-2017). She also worked in the Scene Grammar Lab at Goethe University Frankfurt, where she researched "scene grammar" in relation to syntax (2018-2019).
She is currently conducting research at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, where she is investigating the processing of various complex, hierarchical structures in the language and action domain in preschool children. EEG (ERPs), eye tracking and TMS measurements are the basic methods of her research. She is interested in the extent to which the processing of complex action sequences is similar to the processing of complex sentences. Her results indicate precisely this connection. A change in the structure of an action, the action syntax, leads - even in children as young as 6 months old - to similar reactions in the electroencephalogram (EEG) as a comparable violation of the syntax of a heard or read sentence. This also allows conclusions to be drawn about the language development of infants.
