title: The Establishment of an On-Campus Neurotraining Center at a Small University: Internship Experience Using Neuropsychological Techniques.
abstract: In 2015, Wilkes University's Neuroscience Program and Psychology Department established a unique training and learning center on a small liberal arts undergraduate campus -The NeuroTraining & Research Center. This paper shares the purpose of the Center, as a learning tool for Neuroscience majors who engage in internships and research opportunities, and as a means of promoting well-being on the campus by offering training in techniques such as Neurofeedback, Biofeedback and Audio-Visual Entrainment to the college community. The role that the center plays in connecting real world applications to concepts in Neuroscience, and the approach that the authors have taken to assess student learning is presented in this article.
