QEEG Brain Mapping

Before beginning neurofeedback, we start with a 12-site quantitative EEG analysis (QEEG), also referred to as a brain map, which provides a comprehensive assessment of your brainwave patterns. This analysis, along with your personal description of your symptoms, is then compared to a database of 50,000 optimal brain maps. This information helps form the basis of your individualized treatment plan.

Brainwaves form the communication system inside your brain. If they are not functioning properly then it is likely you will experience unwanted symptoms. QEEG looks for dysregulation in the Delta/Theta, Alpha, and Beta brainwaves.

Delta/Theta Dysregulation: Slow Processing

In this state, the brain tends to operate at a slow processing speed and is considered under aroused. This dysregulation may be associated with:

  • ADHD

  • Autism / Asperger's 

  • Cognitive Impairment

  • Impulsivity

  • Disorganized

  • Hyperactivity

  • Hyper-emotional

  • Focus and Attention Issues

  • Traumatic Brain Injury

  • Socially Inappropriate

In this state, the brain tends to operate at an idle processing speed and is considered to be inhibited. This dysregulation may be associated with:

  • Depression

  • Rumination

  • Victim Mentality

  • Anger

  • Excessive Self Concern

  • Self-Deprecation

  • Passive Aggressive

  • Agitation

  • Irritability

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Avoidance Behavior

  • Withdrawal Behavior

Beta Dysregulation:
Fast Processing

In this state, the brain tends to operate at a fast processing speed and is considered over aroused. This dysregulation may be associated with:

  • Anxiety

  • Panic Attacks

  • OCD

  • Worry

  • Migraine / Tension Headaches

  • Chronic Pain

  • Insomnia

  • Hyper-vigilant

  • Obsessive Thinking
