QEEG Brain Mapping

 

We use an advanced brain research tool (QEEG LoRETA Z-Score Brain Mapping) to guide our training.

 

EEG (electroencephalograph) Brain Map 

A brain map is a measurement of the brain’s electrical patterns (known as brainwaves) at the surface of the scalp, allowing us to identify how each area of your brain is functioning. With this information, we can design a personalised training programme specifically to your needs. 

A sensor cap is used to detect the activity and the brain waves are recorded. It is non-invasive and painless. Much like a heart monitor which only records your heart rate, the sensor cap only records the electrical activity of the brain; it does not do anything to the brain.

 

QEEG (Quantitative electroencephalograph) Brain Map 

The QEEG readings give us vital information to help identify the areas to train, and to precisely chart your progress.

By seeing which areas have abnormal activity, we can predict what type of symptoms the person may be experiencing as a result. For example, if the areas involved in attention are functioning poorly and the person has difficulty paying attention, then we have a “match”. We then know exactly where to train to help you regulate more efficiently.

A QEEG can identify not only brainwaves, their amplitude, location and whether these patterns are typical or anomalous, but also Coherence (quality of communication between regions), and Phase (thinking speed). These are all crucial patterns involved in optimum brain functioning.

 

LoRETA (low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography)

Using the same equipment approved for academic research, LoRETA allows us to identify (and ultimately train) brainwave patterns from deep brain structures, using a standard sensor cap with advanced source-correlation software.

Being able, for the first time, to both identify and train these deeper structures in the brain is a major leap forward in both brain mapping and neurofeedback.

 

Z-Score Database

We compare these surface and deep brain readings to an FDA approved reference database (Z-score) that shows how your brain activity compares to healthy people of similar age and sex.
