QEEG STUDY or so-called brain mapping. Brain mapping is the mathematical and statistical analysis of the electrical activity of the brain. Carefully edited EEG data (cleaned of noise, so-called artefacts) are processed using special EEG databases. This allows the brain function of the individual to be compared to people of a similar age, without disease or pathology. In this way, we identify those areas of the brain where there are abnormalities in terms of the amount and types of electrical activity, coherence (basically connections between locations) and phase (speed of information between locations).
Brain mapping typically reveals patterns of deviation or abnormalities in brain wave frequencies that are characteristic of certain disorders. Connectivity problems between locations in the brain can be a key issue in disability, epilepsy and learning disorders. Medications do not usually change these underlying problems, so that the patient may suffer relapses or experience chronic symptoms. Brain maps can help identify the type of disorder, where in the brain the problem is and how to treat it. A brain map is very helpful in planning neurotherapy (e.g. neurofeedback, eeg biofeedback, tdsc).
QEEG examination can detect the cause of disorders such as:
✔️ brain damage after accidents, aneurysm ruptures and strokes
✔️ speech development disorders
✔️ concentration and attention deficits
✔️ learning difficulties
✔️ autism spectrum disorders
✔️ emotional disorders
and many others.
