What is QEEG (Quantitative EEG)?

A QEEG is recommended for all Neurofeedback clients. The results of the QEEG allow me to specifically identify and address unusual or problematic patterns of brain functioning through comparing the patterns to a normative database. This can help speed up symptom reduction by training specific areas of the brain that relate best to specific symptoms that the client is wanting to have reduced.

Session Information

This assessment is non-invasive and is conducted using a cloth cap over the head with liquid paste injected into the electrode holes. There is no skin penetration. Overall time can be between 40 and 90 minutes depending on the behavior of the client. The actual assessment period is 20 minutes, consisting of 10 minutes of eyes closed and 10 minutes of eyes open recording.

Follow Up QEEG

A second QEEG at the conclusion of treatment to verify changes in patterns of brain activity can also be performed. Clients who choose to receive the second QEEG will receive a discount on the second test.

Using QEEG to Identify Diagnosis

Certain brainwave patterns have been found to correlate with diagnosis, such as Autism, OCD, and ADHD. For example, the picture below shows the accuracy of diagnosing ADHD compared to all other forms of techniques:
