Trauma and PTSD
-
Seizure Disorders
-
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Conditions Diagnosed with a Brain Map

Efficacy of QEEG and Neurofeedback
Having a brain map done can significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. It allows healthcare providers to tailor interventions based on individual brain activity patterns. One effective treatment option is neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback that trains individuals to regulate their brain function.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback involves using real-time displays of brain activity to help individuals learn how to optimize their brain function. By receiving feedback on their brainwaves, patients can develop strategies to improve attention, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall cognitive performance. This technique can be especially effective when used in conjunction with findings from a QEEG, offering a comprehensive approach to addressing neurological and psychological issues.
