Kamran Fallahpour

Kamran Fallahpour is an Iranian-American [[Clinical psychology|clinical psychologist]] and neuroscientist with over 20 years of experience in clinical, research, and development in neuro technology, brain mapping techniques, brain computer interface (BCI) , and neurofeedback [[Neurofeedback|neurofeedback]]. He founded the Brain Resource Center in New York City and is listed by the [[Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai]] as a Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry.[1][2] He has co-authored peer-reviewed studies on [[Electroencephalography|EEG]] biomarkers, [[Major depressive disorder|depression]], [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder|ADHD]], and neurofeedback, and participated as a site investigator in the International Study to Predict Optimised Treatment in Depression (iSPOT-D).[1][3] He has appeared on Brain Games and [[Radiolab]] and has been discussed in Esquire and Logic(s) Magazine.[4][5][15][16]

Biography and career

Fallahpour holds a doctorate in [[Clinical psychology]] from [[Fielding Graduate University]].[6] The [[Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai]] lists him as Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry and credits him with eight peer-reviewed publications.[1] A 2010 publication in Clinical Neurophysiology lists his affiliation as the Brain Resource Center, New York, with a secondary affiliation to the Department of Psychiatry, [[Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons|College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University]].[7]

Clinical practice

Brain Resource Center

Fallahpour founded the Brain Resource Center in 2002 in [[Manhattan]] and continues to serve as its director.[2] The center provides [[Quantitative electroencephalography|qEEG]] brain mapping, [[Neurofeedback|neurofeedback]], and neuropsychological assessment for conditions including [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder|ADHD]], [[Post-traumatic stress disorder|PTSD]], [[Traumatic brain injury]], [[Major depressive disorder|depression]], and [[Anxiety disorder|anxiety disorders]].[5]

A.J. Jacobs discussed Fallahpour in an Esquire excerpt adapted from his book Drop Dead Healthy ([[Simon & Schuster]], 2012), referring to him as "one of the country's experts" on neurofeedback.[4] He was also profiled in Logic(s) Magazine (Issue 1, March 2017).[5]

Vital Neuro

Fallahpour started and co-founded Vital Neuro, Inc. and currently serves as its Chief Science Officer.[3] Vital Neuro develops EEG-based audio technology.[3] Fallahpour is listed as an inventor on [[patent]]s and patent applications assigned to Vital Neuro, including U.S. Patent 11,931,521 for audio-based operant conditioning for brain training and U.S. Design Patent D1,051,088 for an audio headset.[8][9]

Research

iSPOT-D clinical trial

Fallahpour participated as a site investigator in the International Study to Predict Optimised Treatment in Depression (iSPOT-D; NCT00693849), an international [[clinical trial]] studying [[Biomarker|biomarkers]] of [[Major depressive disorder]].[3][10] The study examined biomarkers associated with antidepressant response.[10]

Peer-reviewed publications

Fallahpour is a co-author on eight publications listed by Mount Sinai.[1] A 2008 Journal of Neurotherapy article listed Fallahpour's affiliation as Brain Resource Center and Brainquiry LLC, New York; the study used wireless EEG-based neurofeedback methods in a small golf performance experiment.[13] Additional publications include two studies from the iSPOT-D consortium: Arns et al. (2016, Clinical Neurophysiology 127[1]:509–519), on [[Electroencephalography|EEG]] alpha asymmetry as a gender-specific predictor of antidepressant response;[11] and Van Dinteren et al. (2015, European Neuropsychopharmacology 25[11]:1981–1990), on [[Event-related potential|event-related potentials]] as pre-treatment predictors of outcome.[12] Other publications include a 2010 study on theta activity and attention regulation in ADHD (Clinical Neurophysiology; PMID 20363666)[7] and a 2006 study on EEG markers in elderly subjects with subjective memory complaints (Journal of Integrative Neuroscience 5[1]:49–74).[14]

Media appearances

Fallahpour appeared on the National Geographic television series Brain Games in the episode "Don't Be Afraid" (Season 2, Episode 4, aired 29 April 2013).[15] A.J. Jacobs discussed Fallahpour in an Esquire excerpt adapted from Drop Dead Healthy (Simon & Schuster, 2012).[4] He was profiled in Logic(s) Magazine (Issue 1, March 2017).[5] The Brain Resource Center appeared in the 2007 [[Radiolab]] episode "Stress," in which Fallahpour discussed stress responses and neurofeedback.[16]
