Stéphane Dumonceau-Krsmanovic

He qualified as a teacher of physiotherapy and physical at the Free University of Brussels (1983) and is a specialist in relaxation and mental preparation for competition and has carried out research (sensorial isolation chamber, variable-frequency audiovisual stimulation, alpha biofeedback, etc.) since 1984 as a scientific assistant and doctoral student in the Department of Applied Psychology (ISEPK-ULB). He has also written an explanatory book on the subject, entitled: "Faites chanter vos neurones" ("Make your neurons sing"), published by Souffle d'Or.

The texts of the audiotherapy tools developed on the basis of the research work done by Dr. Erickson in the USA are the result of the collaboration between several doctors who are specialists in this field, the main contributors being Dr. Jean-Jacques Lisoir, based in Brussels, Belgium and Dr. Patrick Van Alphen, based in Paris, France together with Stéphane Krsmanovic, a qualified teacher of physiotherapy and physical education (the designer of the PSiO®), who has specialized in relaxation technologies (sophrology, sensorial isolation chamber, biofeedback, hemisync, variable-frequency audiovisual stimulation, etc.) since 1984. For certain cases, such as the specific use during dental surgery and other surgical operations, the texts were prepared with the collaboration of Dr. Michaël Litchinko, an anaesthetist based in Nancy, France and Dr. Jean-Charles Goris, a qualified dental surgeon based in Brussels, Belgium.

In collaboration with some specialists:

He is responsible for psychosomatic care in several hospital departments (pre and post-operative pain problems, chemotherapy support, risks of premature births, etc.)
