QEEG Brain Mapping

The Technology

How Do We Know Which Areas Of The Brain To Train?

This is achieved with a Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG), also known as a brain map. A Brain Map is a non-invasive tool we use to identify the problem areas of the brain.

Think of a QEEG brain map like a weather map — it provides us with accurate information about the entire brain and where problems may lie.

The Process

What Happens During a Brain Map

1

Sensor Cap Placement

We place what looks like a swim cap with sensors on your head to measure brain wave activity. The process is completely non-invasive.

2

12-Minute Recording

You stare at the wall for 6 minutes with eyes open, and 6 minutes with eyes closed. No shocks, no pain, no discomfort. The computer does the rest.

3

Database Comparison

The system compares your brainwave activity to established standards of normal brain function, stratified by age and gender.

From Map to Treatment

What Does A Brain Map Have To Do With Neurofeedback?

While neurofeedback is the training mechanism we use to correct brain imbalances, a brain map is the diagnostic tool we use to determine where problems lie within the brain.

The brain map generates a list of training protocols to target the areas most in need of help. Over time with multiple sessions, the brain corrects itself and learns to self-regulate on its own. Results are often permanent.

Why Brainwaves Are Important

There are 4 main brainwaves, and each regulates a different part of our body. From sleep to emotions to critical thinking — let's learn about each one.

Beta Waves

Observed while awake — conscious thought, logical thinking, focus.

Too much: Anxiety, stress, inability to relax Too little: ADHD, depression, poor cognition Optimal: Conscious focus, memory, problem solving

Alpha Waves

Bridge between conscious and subconscious — calm and relaxation.

Too much: Daydreaming, inability to focus Too little: Anxiety, insomnia, OCD Optimal: Relaxation

Theta Waves

Involved in daydreaming, sleep, and deep emotions.

Too much: ADHD, depression, hyperactivity Too little: Anxiety, poor emotional awareness Optimal: Creativity, intuition, relaxation

Delta Waves

Slowest waves — deepest relaxation and restorative sleep.

Too much: Concussions, learning problems, severe ADHD Too little: Poor sleep, inability to rejuvenate Optimal: Immune system, deep sleep, natural healing
