A Webinar Exploring the Effects of Method and Medium Inherent in the Use Screen Based Devices.
Screens and interlinked screen based devices are everywhere, arguably now completely central to all modern life; including work and production, scholastics and research, social interaction and play. As expected, any such mass innovation brings magnificent and most welcomed change, but so too the unknown.
In this Webinar, Dr. Mari Swingle, will present her research on the overt connections of excessive usage of screen based devices to depression, anxiety, ADHD, and obsessive compulsive behavior as well as the more subtle or ignored effects including systematic effects of screen based devices on our arousal templates and base neurophysiology affecting our health, intelligence, creativity, development, sexuality and socialization.

As consistent applications of i-tech become more and more of a societal norm, negative and excessive use is increasingly hard to differentiate from healthy or integrated usage. It is timely that clinicians become informed of methods and modalities that can aid them to determine if excessive usage of i-tech is affecting a client under their care.

Come and explore the 21st century, the millennia of i-technology; iphones, pads & pods, computers and all screen based devices. Though select readings and concepts from her new book i-Minds, Dr. Mari Swingle will give us food for thought on the influence of i-tech on children and families, friends, and lovers, work and learning, development and yes, brain function too. She will leave you thinking on what we should embrace, what we should reject, and many aspects of the digital era that are timely to debate.

Event Details
For adults over 40, problems do not stem from if they do or do not use digital technologies, but rather how and why they do or do not use them. It is arguably different for children. For those born directly into the digital world there appear to be substantial differences in cognitive, creative, and social-emotional development and related brain wave architecture associated with usage patterns. This webinar will explore the current presenting differences, some of the suspected causes, as well as some of the first concrete changes emerging on the EEG. The webinar will conclude with suggestions on how and when (and when not) to integrate the use of i-technology to ensure healthy development of children and youth.

Our world is changing and so are we. This webinar will explore some of the effects we are seeing on the brain and in behavior directly related to excessive applications of digital media otherwise known as i-tech. The webinar will present variations in the EEG (electroencephalography), associated symptom clusters, as well as how and why individuals are drawn into excessive usage patterns in the first place. Lastly we will explore what clinicians can do to assist clients at risk, as well as those already fitting the IA or Internet Addiction profile.
