Event Related Potentials mentoring group
with Prof. Jury Kropotov
ERPs as Windows to the brain and functional neuromarkers of brain health and function
We are looking at the brain through different windows. One of them is spontaneous scalp-recorded potentials - EEG. It tells us how the cortex is self-regulated and guides protocols of therapeutic interventions and neuromodulation modalities.
But often no deviations from the healthy controls are found in patients with severe brain dysfunctions. In such cases event-related potentials is the only option to define the objective index of the brain dysfunction and to guide the construction of other neuromodulation techniques such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Transcranial Direct and alternative current stimulation (tDCS, tACS), Photobiomodulation.
What are ERPs?
Event Related Potentials (ERP) are scalp recorded brain potentials in response to repeated events performed by the patients during continuous performance tasks. (published in more than 150.000 papers)
Basic Research shows that different components of ERPs (such as N1, P1, MMN, N170, P300, CNV etc.) reflect different psychological operations (such as detection and recognition of the stimulus, detection and monitoring of cognitive conflict, decision making, inhibition of irrelevant action etc.). Clinical research shows that different categories of brain disorders are associated with specific profiles of ERPs impairments.

HBI med company provides clinical tools for assessment of both spontaneous EEG and ERPs in patients by comparing the QEEG/ERP parameters with the normative and patient databases.

2025 Basic Course by prof Kropotov.docx
Jury Kropotov has developed a unique methodology for obtaining and analysing brain electric signatures in response to specific events or stimulus.
In this group he is going to teach participants how to apply this methodology step by step for clinical work, research and neuromodulation practice.
The group is going to meet regularly for two hours. During the meeting Jury will present different topics and then provide demonstrations how to process EEG and ERPs and extract relevant components that serve as Neuromarkers in each individual case.
Neuromarkers are very valuable tools in Mental Health , Psychiatry and Neurology, as well as Allied Health and can aid diagnostic process with a more precise informationIn this group you can learn how to apply Event Related Potentials as Functional Neuromarkers in your clinical work and neuromodulation practice.

by Prof. Yury Kropotov
“As veteran researcher of International standing, Professor Yuri Kropotov brings a wealth of integrated knowledge about brain function and signaling to his presentations. His workshops are both theoretically and practically sound and are a “must-do” for clinical practitioners wanting practical markers to assist diagnosis and target treatment response. I also recommend this knowledge as being especially useful for researchers in the field of neuroscience.”
Dr Stephanie Fryer-Williams. Chief Researcher, Mental Health Biomarker Project
"...Thanks for organising the workshop. I thought it was a great to have a presenter of such caliber... Every neuro-therapist needs to understand the tremendous contribution that biomarkers from ERP analysis can add to assessing mental health conditions. As a scientist practitioner I am fascinated by such technologies and it is a rare privilege to be able to be taught by one of the world’s foremost authorities. Having attended several of Yury’s past workshops, I can recommend the value of learning from this master scientist. His workshops are informative, challenging, and as long as you understand Russian humor, funny!”
Dr. Phil Watts, Clinical and Forensic Psychologist (see Dr Watts' website about his expertise: http://www.drphil.com.au)
“Professor Yuri Kropotov is a world research leader into brain electrical fields and the significance of these fields to the understanding and healing of many psychological disorders. Professor Kropotov is well known and highly respected for his recent seminal text on quantitative EEG, event-related potentials and neurotherapy, the first book to comprehensively address such matters. With ongoing cutting edge work, he continues to add importantly to the emerging zeitgeist that is replacing conventional views on the functioning of the mind. His work is essential material for those interested in the field of neurotherapy.”

“Professor Jury Kropotov's unique methodology for the acquisition and analysis of QEEG and ERP data has provided our clinicians with a valuable tool to measure brain functioning in clients and to use this information to plan their treatment and to evaluate treatment outcomes. In addition, having such a powerful methodology for ERP analysis has provided us with the foundation to search for functional neuromarkers for PTSD resulting from refugee trauma. STARTTS is immensely grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Professor Kropotov on the analysis of ERP data collected in our clinical work with refugee clients exposed to torture and trauma. We count ourselves fortunate to learn from a world leader in this field whose expertise continues to inform our clinical work and research.”
Mirjana Askovic, Neurofeedback Program Team Leader, NSW Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors
".. Thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity to study with Prof. Jury Kropotov. For such a towering intellect and eminent figure in his field he made the information surprisingly accessible and enjoyable. I am very grateful to you for the experience..."
Jenny Hardwidge, Pharmacist
“After having attended 3 workshops with Prof. Kropotov I continue to be amazed at his depth of knowledge in the world of neuroscience. His method of QEEG and ERP acquisition and analysis has been extremely useful in both my clinical work and PhD research. Prof. Kropotov has definitely left his mark on the world of EEG biomarkers in psychiatric disorders – attendance at his workshops is a must for anyone interested in objective measurement in psychology and/or EEG-guided neurotherapy”.
Trevor Brown, BA (Hons), PhD Candidate, Director, Positive Brain Training. Neurotherapy, Listen and Learn Centre.
“As a research collaborator, I count myself deeply fortunate to have worked under the guidance of Professor Yury Kropotov, and have benefitted immeasurably from his expert theoretical and technical understanding of the ERP paradigm that he continues to pioneer as a potential tool for measuring neurocognitive functioning. Having participated in two of his multi-day workshops, I then consulted individually with Dr Kropotov, and in three indispensable hours we were able to analyse and interpret data from a complex set of clinical records to deliver significant findings to my organisation. These findings have led to an article currently under peer-review, and the methodological knowledge that I gained through the process was sufficient to enable me to instruct other staff undertaking related analyses”.
