Ronald J. Swatzyna, PhD, received his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work from The University of Texas Arlington. Currently, he is the Director/Chief Scientist of Neurophysiology Research at Houston Neuroscience Brain Center and Founder of Clinical NeuroAnalytics, LLC. Dr. Swatzyna is a licensed clinical social worker and board certified in neurofeedback and biofeedback by the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA).For the past 24 years, Dr. Swatzyna has analyzed and treated the most diagnostically challenging cases in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Eighteen years ago, he started acquiring electroencephalography (EEG) and quantitative EEG (qEEG) data to identify neurological causes for psychiatric symptoms. As a researcher, he has presented and/or published over 100 peer-reviewed papers on brain injury, dysfunction, psychiatric medication, and other related topics at national and international conferences.Dr. Swatzyna is the Chair of the Sigma Xi Institutional Review Board (IRB) and is a board member of the Rice University/Texas Medical Center Chapter. He is also a member of the Neuropsychiatric Electrophysiology Section of the World Psychiatric Association. Dr. Swatzyna is a retired City of Arlington, Texas professional Firefighter-EMT-I and a veteran of Vietnam and the first Gulf War. Finally, his personal battle with traumatic brain injuries and posttraumatic stress disorder has motivated him to become a leading expert in brain dysfunction and treatment.

My goal for each patient is to identify the cause of their psychiatric and behavioral issues and to optimize brain performance with applied neuroscience.
