QEEG-Brainmapping
A QEEG is primarily used as a treatment-planning tool in clinical neurofeedback
and psychotherapy.
It is completed from a biopsychosocial perspective and is not the same as a
“clinical EEG”, which is used in medical practice to evaluate epilepsy or to
determine if there is a serious brain pathology, such as a tumour. A QEEG is not
designed to diagnose tumours, epilepsy, or other structural medical conditions.
At our clinic, we would complete a QEEG to better understand the
neurophysiology of the client to further inform non-invasive therapy. This is not for
diagnostic purposes but to better understand the developmental maturity of the
brain to help set therapeutic goals, that is within our scope of practice, to
enhance our client’s capacity. A wide range of dysregulated EEG patterns
(phenotypes) have been correlated with disorders and clinical conditions.
