QEEG Brain Mapping is an assessment that analyses brainwave activity to create a structured understanding of how the brain is functioning. QEEG Brain Mapping evaluates several key aspects of brain function, providing a structured picture of how the brain is operating. Frequency Patterns Brain activity is analysed across standard frequency bands such as delta, theta, alpha, beta, and high beta. These are associated with different functional states including attention, cognitive processing, and regulation. Activation and Distribution The assessment measures how activity is distributed across different regions of the brain, providing insight into how effectively those regions are engaging. Connectivity and Coordination Brain mapping examines how different regions communicate with one another, and how efficiently information is processed and integrated across networks.

While both EEG and QEEG measure the brain's electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp, the key difference lies in how that information is analysed and presented. A standard EEG produces a raw waveform that a clinician reads visually, looking for obvious abnormalities such as seizure activity or gross disruptions in brain rhythm, it is largely a qualitative, observational tool. QEEG takes that same raw electrical data and applies advanced mathematical and statistical processing, converting it into quantitative measures such as power, coherence, phase, and symmetry across multiple frequency bands. These values are then converted into colour-coded brain maps that show precisely where and how an individual's brain activity deviates from what would typically be expected. In this way, QEEG moves beyond simple observation to offer an objective, data-driven picture of brain function one capable of revealing subtle patterns of dysregulation that a standard EEG would not detect.

No. It does not diagnose conditions. It identifies patterns in brain function which are interpreted alongside clinical history and presentation.

No. QEEG Brain Mapping is not a diagnostic assessment for ADHD. It is a functional assessment of brain activity, often used to better understand patterns related to attention and regulation, as well as guide clinicians' evaluation and application of a tailored brain training plan for neurofeedback training.

The findings are used to define training targets, allowing neurofeedback to be tailored to the individual’s specific brain activity patterns.

The findings are explained in detail during the Results session, where the clinician will walk you through the brain map and outline the recommended training approach. You will then be able to receive a written summary of your findings.

Yes. It can be used across age groups.
