QEEG Brainmapping

Quantitative encephalogram, referred to as a QEEG or “brain map” is a diagnostic tool that measures brain wave activity. As opposed to an EEG, which is commonly performed in hospitals to diagnose epilepsy and other neurological disorders, the “quantitative” brainmapping aspect uses the same information and analyzes it using statistical and numerical methods. The results of which show how your brain functions. It reveals how different locations of your brain communicate with each other and the amount of power, or amplitude, in each specific area. 

QEEG brainmapping was first developed in the 1960s and although not solely used for diagnosis, the information can help inform various presentations of anxiety, depression, processing issues, and brain injury, just to name a few. This detailed report provides a “road map” to train your brain to work more effectively, while mitigating aggravating symptoms that prevent you from living your best life. Best of all, brain mapping is non-invasive, painless, and has no side effects. 

Your brainwave patterns are unique and establishing a baseline brainmap is the first step toward building your customized training program and treatment plan. By creating a brain "map" we can see which areas are producing too much or not enough of a specific brainwave. The QEEG measures brainwave activity and records for 19 specific areas of the brain that represent various cognitive functions.

A cap, similar to a "swim" cap that is outfitted with sensors is placed upon the scalp while the client's eyes are open and closed for a period of time to acquire a comprehensive baseline measurement. The process from beginning to end usually takes 45-60 minutes. Over the next week the data generated is analyzed and cross-referenced against an extensive database with over 1 million recordings to give us the most accurate picture of your brainwave activity.  Once the report is complete, you will have a consult either in person or remotely to discuss the results and formulate a treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals.
