BRIAN JUDD, PHD, BCN
Dr. Judd received his master’s degree in 1987, and his Ph.D. in 1989, from the University of Houston. Throughout his doctoral program, Dr. Judd focused on brain-behavior relationships. In conjunction with John Sterling Meyer, M.D. at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Judd published extensively on regional cerebral blood flow decrements associated with Multi-Infarct Dementia and Alzheimer’s Dementia. Additionally, throughout his graduate program, he worked extensively with Daniel Sheer, Ph.D., eliciting the topography of the 40 hz evoked potential in the visual and auditory modalities. Dr. Judd’s doctoral dissertation focused on neuroplasticity, examining lateralization of language processing in traumatically brain-injured children using the P300 as a marker. Although a majority of his subsequent professional career centered on neuropsychology and forensic psychology, Dr. Judd returned to his academic focus in 2017 and began training in neurofeedback. He became board certified in 2018 and currently practices in Olympia, WA.
