Have you ever wanted to gain a richer understanding of your brain? A quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG), also known as brain mapping, can provide insight into the inner workings of the body’s most vital organ, helping to identify sensory response patterns and a broad spectrum of neurological disorders and causes. In this article, we’ll dive into this exciting new technology, exploring how it works and what it can be used for.
What is QEEG Brain Mapping?
Our brains are the central unit of our nervous systems, monitoring and controlling bodily functions and responding to stimuli. Composed of complex neuronal pathways that change as we grow and experience the world around us, the brain can be difficult to understand at times. But, the science of QEEG brain mapping is making it easier than ever before.
In fact, the level of detail achieved by QEEG brain mapping far surpasses that of traditional radiology imaging, psychological assessments and neurological investigations. This makes it a standout option for those seeking an in-depth analysis of their mind. It is also non-invasive, simply monitoring activity without interfering with the brain at all.
How Does QEEG Brain Mapping Work?
QEEG Brain Mapping takes EEG readings of brainwaves across various positions on your head via an electrode cap, with a focus on the corticolimbic networks, areas mainly responsible for behaviour. Data is captured under various conditions such as eyes opened and closed, viewing specific images or recalling specific memories. The procedure is painless and should take around an hour, then results are then submitted to a specialist software for scientific analysis.
The brain mapping will also assess the relationship between different areas of the brain, as coherent communication is key for optimal brain performance. For example, the parts of the brain responsible for attention and visual processing must coordinate coherently in order to be a good and safe driver.
A report is then generated from the findings, explaining the relationship between brain activity and neurological and psychological symptoms. It will show if any areas of the brain are dysfunctional or dysregulated, causing disruption to normal functioning.
During a follow-up appointment with a clinician, the findings will be clearly explained, along with the best course of action to improve brain function.
What is QEEG Brain Mapping For?
QEEG brain mapping can help to identify numerous neurological conditions and psychiatric disorders, including:
- ADHD
- Autism
- OCD
- Epilepsy
- Stroke
- Anxiety
- Panic Disorder
- Depression
- Schizophrenia
- Insomnia
- Dementia
- Dyslexia
Steps can then be taken to improve brain activity and alleviate symptoms of such conditions. By addressing the source of the condition, QEEG brain mapping can allow for the best, most effective approach of treatment. Further, it can provide immense relief and comfort for individuals by validating their concerns.
The data gathered can be used to inform treatment plans to rebalance the brain and regulate activity, generating a more focalised approach. It can also be used to predict medication response, such as antidepressants, and track the progress of different treatments and therapies.
QEEG brain mapping is also great for anyone who is curious about the ways in which their brain operates, seeking methods to enhance operation and optimise their mind and body.
