What Is A Quantitative EEG?
Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) began in the 1970’s as a way of using computers to extract more information from raw brain wave data than was possible by the traditional approach of looking at brain wave tracings on paper. Although many abnormal patterns of brain wave activity are readily apparent during visual inspection, such as the “spike and wave” associated with epileptic seizures, others can be seen by a computer in ways not possible with the human eye. Your digitized brain wave data will be compared to a normative database to determine if your EEG contains activity that is significantly different from what is normal for someone of your age. That information is then used to create an individualized neurofeedback treatment plan to help you train your brain to work normally and efficiently. What Does A QEEG Tell You About Your Brain?
