Discover how qEEG can reveal the root cause of your cognitive and emotional challenges!
What is qEEG Brain Imaging?
qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) records and analyzes brainwave activity to assess how different brain regions communicate. Unlike MRIs and CT scans, which show structure, qEEG provides real-time functional data, revealing dysregulation, connectivity issues, and abnormal activity patterns.
How Does qEEG Work?
qEEG does not treat disorders—it identifies functional brain abnormalities to guide effective interventions.
Why Symptoms Alone Are Not Enough
Symptoms only tell us something is wrong, but they don’t explain why.
Many conditions share overlapping symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatments.
qEEG helps distinguish between these conditions by analyzing how the brain is functioning:
qEEG identifies the root cause, ensuring precision in diagnosis and treatment planning.
qEEG vs. Traditional Imaging: What’s the Difference?
| Imaging Type | What It Shows | What It Misses |
|---|---|---|
| X-Ray | Bone fractures, skull abnormalities | Brain function & electrical activity |
| CT Scan | Bleeding, tumors, strokes | Cognitive efficiency & neural connectivity |
| MRI | Soft tissue structure & damage | Brainwave patterns & functional dysregulation |
| qEEG | Electrical brain activity & real-time function | Provides functional insights for targeted treatment |
A normal MRI or CT scan does NOT mean your brain is functioning properly.
qEEG goes beyond structural imaging, identifying real-time brain activity to guide treatment.
How qEEG Optimizes Treatment Plans
qEEG is a powerful tool for personalizing treatments, guiding medication choices, TMS therapy, neurofeedback, and multi-modal interventions.
1. Medication Guidance Based on qEEG Findings
2. Customizing TMS Treatment Protocols
3. Optimizing Neurofeedback Training
By integrating qEEG data, we ensure every treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s unique brain function.
