What is Brain Scanning?

 

EEG

 

All clients seeking Neurofeedback therapy will firstly undergo an initial assessment involving a EEG to highlight areas of the brain that may require more attention. 

​

EEG, also called Electroencephalogram or Brain Scan, is an non-invasive measurement of brain function. 

​

Using an advanced 19-sensor EEG cap, brain electricity is measured in microvolts and amplified to a computer. An EEG recording will then take a detailed snapshot of the brain to accurately map out areas of the brain that may require treatment.

​

EEG is used throughout the world for many applications in Psychology, Neurology, Peak Performance and Neurofeedback. 

​

​

qEEG

​

EEG data is interpreted and transformed into a Quantitative EEG (qEEG). We refer to this as a 'Brain Scan'.

​

A clients' Brain Scan gives detailed and comprehensive information about their brain function - regions of the brain that may be overactive, underactive, poorly communicating or performing at a sub-optimal level. Scans are represented as brightly coloured maps, as seen above.

​

A clients' qEEG Brain Scan, their medical history and treatment goals are all taken into consideration when formulating a highly individualised Neurofeedback treatment protocol. 

​

Multiple qEEGs may be taken throughout the course of Neurofeedback therapy to ensure brain changes are achieved and documented.
