qEEG Brain Mapping: An Assessment That Guides Neurofeedback Training
Reveals communication and connectivity within your brain, including your cerebral strengths and weaknesses.
Brain mapping is one of the tools we often use during the assessment phase of care. Its purpose is to help us design individualized neurofeedback protocols — not to diagnose conditions or function as a standalone service.
What is Brain mapping?
MRIs and CAT scans provide information about brain structures, but brain mapping reveals communication and connectivity within your brain, including our cerebral strengths and weaknesses.
Brain mapping provides the most useful information for evaluating psychological processes, recording the brain activity at a lightning speed — every seven thousandths of a second — so that we can learn about how your brain shifts moment to moment in response to stimulation.
We map areas of the brain that are vital for…
We capture the electrical signals at 19 sites on your head in a variety of conditions, from eyes open and closed, to recalling stressful or happy thoughts.
We then edit these recordings by removing any ‘artifacts’ caused by muscle tension or movement such as eye blinks, and submit the recordings for software analysis and interpretation.
This gives us a clearer picture of your individual brain function. The software assesses your brainwave activity and communication for 55 brain areas, 7 cortical networks and 1400 connections between and within corticolimbic networks, focusing on those networks and areas most responsible for your behavior.
We identify healthy networks from unhealthy ones — those that are overactive, underactive, or unstable, sharing too little information with other regions of the brain. We determine how well your limbic system, an older and less evolved network, is integrated with your cortex, a more evolved system.
This balance determines how well you function. We evaluate the maturity of each brain area including your executive system in the frontal lobes involved in decision-making, impulse control, and judgment. We identify the presence of more than 20 neuromarkers including self-attention, verbal and emotional stress, PTSD and anxiety.
We evaluate the maturity of each brain area including our executive system in the frontal lobes involved in decision-making, impulse control, and judgment. We evaluate the presence of neuromarkers for attention, memory, planning, language ability, self-focus, spatial processing, and attachment.
We analyze innovative as well as traditional EEG parameters with unsurpassed resolution and accuracy.
Sensory Sampling Rate
We monitor the world through our senses and raise this information to conscious awareness many times a second. Most of us sample the sensory world 10 times a second. Some individuals draw information from their senses faster, which often places a great load on our brain to organize this increased information and result in stress, while others are slower, which can impact their ability to interact with others and understand experiences. Compatibility – between parent and child, husband and wife, brother and sister, and even between friends and strangers – often requires similar sensory sampling rates.
