Brain Mapping (qEEG): How We Understand What to Train
Reveals patterns in how your brain communicates and regulates—so training is guided, not guesswork.
Brain mapping is one of the tools we use during the assessment phase
to help design an individualized training approach.
Its purpose is not to diagnose conditions or function as a standalone service,
but to understand how your brain is currently operating so we know what to train.
What qEEG Measures
qEEG measures electrical activity in the brain and how different regions communicate with each other.
Unlike imaging that shows structure, this allows us to see patterns in how your brain is functioning in real time.
This gives us insight into how your brain responds moment to moment, and how stable or flexible those patterns are over time.

How the Mapping Process Works
We record brain activity from multiple sites across the scalp under different conditions, such as eyes open, eyes closed, and during simple cognitive tasks.
The data is then cleaned and analyzed to remove noise and identify meaningful patterns.
What We’re Looking For
We’re not looking for diagnoses—we’re looking for patterns.
Specifically, how different parts of the brain are:
overactive or underactive
stable or inconsistent
communicating effectively or inefficiently
These patterns help us understand how your brain is regulating and where training should begin.
We also look at how higher-level systems—like attention, decision-making, and self-regulation—are functioning and how well they integrate with more automatic brain processes.
