Brain Mapping Explained
QEEG Brain Assessment
Quantitative EEG (QEEG) is a noninvasive assessment that evaluates patterns of brain electrical activity to support clinical understanding and treatment planning. Often referred to as brain mapping, QEEG provides a detailed analysis of how different brain regions function and communicate.
During the assessment, brainwave activity (delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma) is recorded and quantitatively analyzed. Results are compared to age-referenced normative databases, allowing for the identification of patterns associated with overactivation, underactivation, or dysregulation across neural networks.
Quantitative EEG (QEEG) provides objective information about functional patterns of brain activity that complements behavioral and psychological assessment. By identifying areas of dysregulation, QEEG can support diagnostic clarification, guide individualized treatment planning, and assist in monitoring changes over time.
Whether you’re seeking clarity on a diagnosis, looking for an alternative to medication, or simply want to optimize brain performance, brain mapping can provide the answers you need.
AREAS OF CLINICAL USE
QEEG brain mapping helps uncover the neurophysiological roots of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges. It’s commonly used to evaluate concerns related to:
- ADHD and attention difficulties
- Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders
- Learning disabilities and academic struggles
- Traumatic brain injury or concussion
- Memory and executive functioning issues
- Sleep disturbances
- Emotional dysregulation
