What is QEEG/EEG?
Quantitative EEG (QEEG) began in the 1970s and early 80s as an attempt to extract from brain electrical activity more than what could be readily appreciated by simple, unaided visual inspection of EEG. QEEG should be viewed as an extension of, and not a replacement for, traditional EEG. Clinically, QEEG should always follow the preparation and analysis of the classic EEG. The human eye is still superior to the computer in many aspects of brain signal analysis. But the computer is superior to the eye and mind for other aspects of analysis.
