History of the Princeton Biofeedback Centre, LLC...
The Princeton Biofeedback Centre, LLC, was founded in 1973 by Dr. Les Fehmi
and perhaps represents the first center providing biofeedback services east of the
Mississippi River. Dr. Fehmi, himself, has been investigating and doing research
since 1967 using instrumentation of his own design, developed while serving as
an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York at Stony
Brook, NY. He chaired the first ever meeting of biofeedback providers at Snowmass
at Aspen, CO as part of the first annual meeting of neuropsychologists in 1968.
The centre in Princeton has treated patients from around the globe having various
stress caused or aggravated symptoms and disorders. The present location of the
centre is in a wooded corner lot in picturesque Princeton, NJ, not far from the
University where Dr. Fehmi is an affiliate staff member. The Centre is best known
for two innovative techniques:
1. It's use of multi-channel, phase-sensitive EEG biofeedback, which is a
component of all of the Centre's training programs, especially for the optimization
of physiological and behavioral functioning and
2. It's use of the Open Focus attention training method, developed by Dr. Fehmi.
Dr. Fehmi is a founder in the field of biofeedback and has written a number of
papers. He has patented EEG biofeedback instruments, has consulted for Coach
Bob Ward of the Dallas Cowboys (NFL) and the U.S. Olympic Development
Committee to train athletes in Open Focus, Mass General Hospital, as well as for
numerous corporations. Dr. Fehmi has presented many workshops in a wide
variety of settings in both the United States and abroad. As an Assistant Professor
of Psychology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, he began his first
experiments. Subsequently he has served as a clinician and has been affiliated
with the Medical Center at Princeton since 1978. He has a post-doctoral
fellowship at the Brain Research Institute at UCLA. He is very familiar with
electronic and the use of biofeedback equipment and its application to a wide
variety of diseases and disorders. Dr. Fehmi consults with individuals and
professionals to develop biofeedback programs and protocols for treatment.
He is the originator of a technique called Open Focus training, consulting and
providing workshops around the world on his practice and applications. Open
Focus procedures are described in the accompanying material on this Web Site.
