Martha C. Maldonado Rubí, MEd age ----- From: Martijn Arns To: esnr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 2:44 PM Subject: [esnr] Survey --> Dear listmembers, At the ISNR meeting I was approached by Dr Evans (from the famous book by Evans and Abarbanel). They are currently working on a new version of that book and they wanted to include a new chapter on Neurofeedback in the EU and other parts of the world. Therefore, I was asked to fill out the attached survey. Could anyone interested fill out this questionnaire as well and send it to Martha Maldonado (also see E-mail message below)? Dear Martijn, My name is Martha Maldonado, I met you at the last ISNR conference. There, I asked you to answer a survey, whose responses will be used for a chapter in a book about neurofeedback, which will be published in the United States by Evans and Abarbanel). The chapter is to provide an overview of the current status of neurofeedback (neurotherapy; EEG biofeedback) in various other countries. I will very much appreciate the information you would provide concerning your country. I would appreciate it very much if you would complete this survey and return it to me at your earliest convenience. The chapter manuscript is due by October, so I am hoping to have the survey returned to me as soon as possible. Dr. Evans told me you would also provide information about other NF practioners in your country and Europe? You might send the survey to my e-mail address: marthamr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: 55 5543 8727 Thank you very much, Martha Maldonado MEd Kind regards, Drs. Martijn Arns Director BraInquiry B.V.
