QEEG- Brain Mapping
QEEG is a diagnostic tool that measures electrical activity in the form of brain wave patterns that tell us how your brain is communicating.
QEEG-
Brain Mapping
Brain waves are the rhythmic electrical impulses generated when the millions and millions of neurons inside your head communicate with each other. Brain waves can reveal important information about your overall brain function, including stress levels, thought patterns, and emotions. A qEEG can reveal brain wave patterns that are associated with impulsivity, cognitive inflexibility, anxiety, and other symptoms. It is an important diagnostic test in evaluating patients with ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
How Does it work
Our qEEG brain mapping process is designed to help clinicians identify the source of symptoms or dysregulation in the brain. We use advanced technology to collect data on your brainwave activity, which is then analyzed and interpreted to provide valuable insights into your brain functioning. This noninvasive process can help identify underlying issues that may be contributing to a range of symptoms, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you optimize your brain functioning.

​The brain is made up of many "functional networks" composed of neurons or brain cells working together in synchrony to perform a specialized function. With advances in the neurosciences that are integrated into our brain map analyses, we are also able to see if different functional networks in the brain are functioning within normal limits. This technology is at the leading edge in science and clinical practice today for both brain mapping for ADHD as well as for brain mapping for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As an example, there are brain networks for regulating attention, executive function (organizing, prioritizing, time management, etc.), working memory, mood, language processing (expressive and receptive), and understanding non-verbal social cues (important in Autism Spectrum Disorder patients). These different networks communicate with each other to share information so the brain can perform complex tasks in an optimal way. The process can be thought of as being analogous to a company with 19 different managers who all need to communicate and coordinate with each other to keep the company running optimally and efficiently. The brain is no different.
