qEEG, or quantitative electroencephalogram, is a non-invasive technique that records electrical activity in the brain. It provides a comprehensive snapshot of your brainwave patterns, offering invaluable insights into your cognitive and emotional functioning.
Electrode Placement: During a qEEG session, electrodes are strategically placed on your scalp to record electrical signals produced by your brain. These signals are then amplified and processed for analysis.
Data Collection: Over a specified duration, the qEEG system collects a wealth of data, capturing brainwave activity from various regions of the brain. This data is transformed into quantifiable measurements.
Brainwave Analysis: The collected data is analyzed to identify distinct brainwave frequencies, such as alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma. Each of these brainwave types corresponds to different mental states and functions.
Mapping the Brain: qEEG creates a visual representation of your brain’s electrical activity, commonly referred to as a “brain map.” This map highlights the distribution of brainwave frequencies across different areas of your brain.
