EEG Brain Imaging (qEEG)

Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) is an advanced neuroimaging technique that analyzes the brain's electrical activity and can show us what is happening in your brain.

Unlike a standard EEG, which provides raw waveforms of brain activity, qEEG processes this data into visual brain maps, allowing for a more detailed and objective assessment of brain function. 

It measures brainwave frequencies—delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma—identifying abnormalities or dysregulations that may be associated with cognitive or emotional difficulties.. 

While typical brain imaging techniques such as MRIs and CT scans measure brain structure and are very expensive, an EEG measures brain activity and is significantly less expensive. 

qEEG has been extensively studied in neuroscience and psychology, providing valuable insights into brain function across different populations. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in identifying biomarkers for conditions such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, and traumatic brain injury. 

Studies have shown that specific brainwave patterns correlate with cognitive deficits or mental health disorders, making qEEG a powerful tool for personalized care. 

Furthermore, it has been used to evaluate the effects of neurofeedback, brain stimulation, and pharmaceutical interventions, helping to refine treatment strategies based on objective neural data. 

At Cerebrum Wellness we use qEEG to optimize cognitive performance and mental well-being by identifying areas of dysregulation and guiding interventions (NIR light and tDCS). 

We also use qEEG to track brain health over time, making it a valuable tool for assessing improvements. By establishing a baseline of brain activity, we can monitor changes throughout your wellness journey.
