About Lukasz

Dr. Konopka is an internationally known clinical and applied neuroscientist and clinical psychologist licensed as a clinical psychologist in Illinois and Wisconsin. He is a researcher, educator, and clinician. He has a BS in biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago, an AM in biological and social psychology from the University of Chicago, and a PhD in pharmacology from Loyola University Medical Center. Postdoctoral training in neurobiology from the University of Vermont. He worked as the Director of the Clinical Neuroscience Section at Hines VA Hospital for many years. He was a faculty member in the departments of Pharmacology, Neuroscience, and Psychiatry at Loyola Stritch School of Medicine at the assistant professor rank. Dr. Konopka developed a clinical psychology doctoral program called “The Neuroscience of Behavior” at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where he was a full professor. Later, he developed a clinical program called “Brain to Behavior” at the Institute of Personal Development, currently Duly Health and Care.

Currently, he serves as a scientific reviewer for various international scientific journals. He is board-certified in clinical neurophysiology and quantitative EEG by the EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society (ECNS) and the International QEEG Certification Board (IQCB), where he is a board member. Dr. Konopka also has board certification in neurofeedback through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA).

Lastly, Dr. Konopka has published numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals and chapters in scientific books on cellular neurophysiology, anatomy, neuroeconomics, neuropharmacology, psychology, imaging, psychiatry, neurology, and art therapy.
