Bio Research Institute

BRI has a unique history consisting of extensive academic experience, research, deep clinical training, and instrument design. This powerful matrix of professional understanding supports and enriches the experience of health professionals and clients coming to BRI to deepen their mastery of psychophysiology.

Steve Wall, M.A., Director of BRI, became involved with biofeedback in 1979, and began examining right- and left-brain high-resolution computerized EEG in 1980. He pioneered a model of training that incorporates sophisticated right- and left-brain EEG with EMG, EDA, Temp, Respiration, Heart Rate, and RSA. This model, called BioIntegrationTM, is particularly effective in helping clients achieve maximum self-regulatory skills in a minimal amount of time.

Steve established the Bio Research Institute in 1983 to advance understanding of the relationships between mind and body in order to promote healing of the body and spirit and increase our knowledge of specialized states of consciousness. BRI offers fully computerized offices for clinical biofeedback training, education and research, and serves as a design site for the development of advanced computerized biofeedback instrumentation.

Steve taught for 18 years at Sonoma State University in the Biofeedback Professional Training Sequence. This sequence is comprised of an upper division course and two graduate courses leading to professional-level expertise in the field of biofeedback.

In 1992, the knowledge acquired during the previous years of extensive academic, research, and clinical activities culminated in the birth of the Bio Integrator,TM a new computerized biofeedback system. This system is recognized as one of the most exciting and sophisticated biomonitoring and feedback instruments available today anywhere in the world. The Bio IntegratorTMis the first complete EEG/body measuring instrument to receive permission to market from the FDA.

Catherine Wynia, M.A., joined the Institute in 1987, after completing the three-year training program at Sonoma State. She currently teaches in the Biofeedback Professional Training Sequence at SSU, and has become skilled in the BioIntegration training strategy, working with a wide variety of clients. She has extensive experience in complex EEG and peripheral measure feedback. For the past five years,she has been teaching biofeedback with the Bio IntegratorTM at BRI and other training facilities. Catherine specializes in providing seminars for individuals and groups who wish to learn advanced professional biofeedback skills.
