Brain Mapping (qEEG)
The brain is a complex electrical organ. Imagine a vast network of tiny wires, each carrying electrical signals back and forth at lightning speed. These wires are actually neurons, the brain’s nerve cells, which communicate through electric impulses. These electrical impulses are crucial to how our brain communicates and processes information including thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
If these electrical connections are disrupted or not working properly then it can affect how well our brain works. The specific location and severity of these disruptions has now been associated with different mental health conditions including Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, ADHD and many more.
qEEG is a non-invasive technique to measure some of this electrical activity in the brain using a cap with electrodes.
Brain activity is recorded for 5 minutes with eyes open and 5 minutes with eyes closed during a 1 hour appointment. Afterwards, a complete report of the results is generated showing one’s brain activity traits compared to what is age/gender typical and healthy.
These results can be used in a number of different ways:
- Solely for interest of the individual and curiosity
- Diagnostic Clarification
- To guide and monitor response to rTMS treatment protocols
