QEEG’s record data from 20 or more standard EEG sites on the head. This is done during eyes-closed, eyes-open and task conditions. The result is a picture of how brain activation changes from resting to awareness to active processing states. The Q removes “artifacts” (electrical signals in the EEG which do not come from the brain) and presents the data in terms of the main measures of brain activity: frequency, amplitude, stability and connectivity.
Any QEEG system performs these basic functions. Most use some form of Electro-Cap to speed up hookup and recording. Most have some form of artifacting routine as well. Ideally the data are recorded, cleaned and loaded in less than 30 minutes.
At Brain Trainer Thailand, we offer 2 assessments to choose from:
Compares hundreds of measures from the client against a database of people recorded to produce dozens of “z-scores”—specific measures in specific areas of the client’s brain which differ from “average”.
Identifies Stable Activation Patterns that have been linked in QEEG research to problem areas in a person’s life. These were developed by comparing people with specific training issues (e.g. anxiety, ADHD) against the population to see where they reliably differ. If a pattern present in the client’s brain is consistent with the training goals, training to change the pattern can be expected to change the mood, behavior, performance or symptom.
