Neurofeedback is a non-invasive method of brain training also called EEG Biofeedback. According to the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR), biofeedback is defined as “a process that enables an individual to learn how to change physiological activity for the purposes of improving health and performance." In this process, precise instruments measure physiological activity such as brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity, and skin temperature. These instruments then rapidly and accurately "feed back" information to the user. Additionally, the presentation of this information — often in conjunction with changes in thinking, emotions, and behavior — supports desired physiological changes. As a result, "over time, these changes can endure without continued use of an instrument." - ISNR
What is EEG?
EEG (electroencephalography) is a non-invasive technique that measures electrical activity in the brain using sensors placed on the scalp.
What is QEEG?
QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) is a brain mapping tool that analyzes electrical activity in the brain to assess cognitive function, identify abnormalities, and guide treatment for mental health and neurological conditions.
How can a Brain Map help me or my loved one?
QEEG aids by identifying brain activity patterns linked to cognitive, emotional and or behavioral challenges. Brain mapping helps:
Pinpoint underlying causes of conditions like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder and PTSD
Guide treatment decisions, including medication, neurofeedback and or psychotherapy
Reduce trial-and-error in medication selection by helping predict which medications will likely be most efficacious
Track progress over time to see if interventions are improving brain function
Early detection of cognitive decline, helping to differentiate normal aging from neurological disorders
Personalized treatment guidance related to lifestyle changes, psychotherapy and neurofeedback as well as potential for other interventions
Tracking of brain function over time to monitor changes and assess intervention effectiveness
Identification of reversible factors, such as poor sleep, stress, or medication side effects, that may contribute to cognitive issues
By providing objective data, a QEEG Brain Map helps create targeted strategies to improve health and well-being
