QEEG Brain Scan

A QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram) brain scan is a non-invasive procedure that measures and analyzes the electrical activity of the brain. During the scan, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record brainwave patterns. These sensors are non-invasive because no electrical current is put into the brain. Patterns in the brain are then analyzed using specialized software to identify any irregularities or abnormalities in brain function.

By identifying these patterns, the QEEG brain scan serves as a roadmap for personalized treatment planning. It allows clinicians to develop targeted neurofeedback therapy protocols tailored to address individual brain dysregulation and optimize brain function. It can help pinpoint specific areas of concern, such as areas affected by trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other cognitive and emotional challenges.
