What happens when a psychologist who helps performers manage anxiety decides to step onto the stage herself?

In this episode of Healthy Brain Happy Body, Saul talks with psychologist and cabaret singer Pamela Enders, PhD, about performance, creativity, vulnerability, and discovering new creative possibilities later in life.

Pamela once dreamed of becoming a Broadway performer but instead pursued a career in psychology. Known for working with performers, at age 50 she returned to singing, eventually performing cabaret in the Boston area.

Pamela and Saul discuss the physiology of performance anxiety, psychological preparation and rehearsal, visualization and cue words, and how performers can learn from the occasions when things don't go as planned. They also explore the creative process itself: how lived experience changes artistic expression, the intimate relationship between performer and audience, and the ways creativity can allow us to discover and express different parts of ourselves.

What happens after the conference ends?

Dr. Saul Rosenthal sits down again with Angelika Sadar, Executive Director of the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society (NRBS), for a short post-conference conversation about the 2026 NRBS Annual Conference.

Angelika reflects on a program that ranged from artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to mindfulness, nature, ethics, and clinical practice. They also talk about the challenge of building a genuine professional community in a virtual environment, and about one of the strengths of this year's conference: bringing together established leaders in biofeedback and neurofeedback with newer voices who bring different experiences and perspectives to the field.

Finally, Angelika offers a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into planning an NRBS conference and considers what may come next, including greater attention to wearables, a possible NRBS book club, case discussions, sponsor webinars, and continuing efforts to bring fresh voices into the field.

In this episode, Dr. Saul Rosenthal talks with Dr. Tom Collura and Bill Brubaker about emerging ways of thinking about QEEG and neurofeedback. They introduce Brain Oscillatory Tensegrity, a framework that draws on cybernetics, complexity science, architecture, and neuroscience to understand how brain rhythms may work together to support resilience and adaptability.

The conversation explores the difference between stability and rigidity, the importance of helping the brain respond flexibly and appropriately to changing demands, and how chronic pain may illustrate these principles. Tom and Bill also discuss the growing role of artificial intelligence in QEEG, emphasizing AI as a tool for identifying patterns and developing ideas rather than a substitute for human judgment.

Along the way, they consider how newer approaches involving networks, connectivity, entropy, criticality, and phase may build upon rather than replace traditional neurofeedback protocols.

Tom Collura and Bill Brubaker will present “Advancements in QEEG and Neurofeedback Using AI and Brain Oscillatory Tensegrity” at the 2026 Northeast Region Biofeedback Society Annual Conference, held virtually September 26–27.
