Engineer

Portrait of Claud Matney, Older Man With White Hair and Black Glasses, Wearing a Blue Button Up and a Red Tie

Claud Matney, PE

Neurofeedback Engineer and Information Technology Administrator

I am a registered professional engineer in the state of Montana and the state of Texas. I have a B.S. in electrical engineering and an M.S. in civil and environmental engineering. My background in electrical engineering makes the Rife, Nogier, and Solfeggio frequencies employed in neurotherapy particularly interesting to me. I see the results that clients get from neurotherapy, and it is fascinating to me to see the practical application of frequencies, harmonics, and modulation in the healing process. Keeping voltages within safe milliamp ranges we see positive results in cognitive efficiency, mood, and emotional regulation. I started out as a HAM radio operator in 1960…and now I’m known as the “Granddaddy” at the nCenter!
