Ainat Rogel, PhD
Ainat is the co-founder and co-director of Boston Neurodynamics where she practices neurofeedback, biofeedback and therapy. She trains and supervises neurofeedback practitioners and students and give international presentations. She specialized in developmental trauma, trauma, dissociation and PTSD.
Ainat currently serves as the president-elect of ISNR (International Society of Neuroregulation and Research). Ainat has a PhD in Computer Science and Neurobiology, a licensed independent clinical social worker, and a BCIA certified neurofeedback provider and supervisor. For many years, she worked as a brain researcher at MIT and Harvard Medical School, Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and Ben Gurion University in Israel. Since 2010, she has focused on neurofeedback and was the chief researcher for neurofeedback at the Trauma Center at JRI.
Mirret M. El-Hagrassy, MD
Mirret M. El-Hagrassy, MD, is a licensed neurologist, board-certified in Neurology and Epilepsy. She is a neurologist at UMass Memorial and Assistant Professor of Neurology at University of Massachusetts Medical School. Prior to that she was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Spaulding Neuromodulation Center, Harvard Medical School. Dr. El-Hagrassy was conducting research in neuromodulation with an emphasis on neurologic disorders, and her research projects involved the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain as well as EEG changes in healthy volunteers. She has authored peer-reviewed articles, as well as book chapters on topics including digital EEG signal analysis, non-invasive brain stimulation, epilepsy and clinical research. Dr. El-Hagrassy has a special interest in non-invasive brain stimulation, EEG, epilepsy, and neurofeedback. She enjoys living and working in multicultural environments and multi-specialty groups. Dr. El-Hagrassy completed her medical training at the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University (Cairo, Egypt) over a decade ago, and has moved to the US since. She completed her neurology residency at SUNY Upstate University Hospital (Syracuse, NY), clinical neurophysiology (EEG and Epilepsy track) fellowship at Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, Ohio).
Diana Martinez, MD, PHD, LMCH, BCN
Diana is a medical doctor with a specialty in Neurorehabilitation. She completed a fellowship in Neurological Rehabilitation from IAHP, Philadelphia, USA in 2006; M.Sc in Neurological Rehabilitation in 2009, Fellowship in Neurophysiology from University Hospital, Cleveland, USA in 2012 and PhD from De Montfort University from Leicester, UK in 2018. She has 15 years of experience treating severe brain injured patients in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Italy, China, Brazil, Colombia and Honduras. She developed, along with other professionals, an integrative intervention to rehabilitate neurological conditions including neurofeedback and other non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. She has experience treating patients with epilepsy, learning disorders, behavioral disorder, mood disorders, sleep disorders, TBI and CP. She has extensive experience in neurophysiology, EEG/qEEG/ERP interpretation. She is the cofounder of Boston Neurodynamics, and a current president of the Mexican society of Bio and Neurofeedback (SMNB).
