The quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) is a specialized analysis of the electroencephalograms that can take EEG information, compare it with the brain activity of normal age mates, and provide a visual diagram of the brainwave activity.  The information includes details about the individual’s efficiency of information processing or connectivity.

Clinicians incorporate QEEG data into specific neurofeedback treatment plans that address the identified processing deficits.  The specific treatment plan is carefully tailored to the needs of the individual and the improvements are remarkable.  These improvements include more efficient processing and functional skills.

Our office is equipped to provide QEEGs as a diagnostic tool for specific processing problems and neurofeedback as a treatment.    Progress is easily observed and easily measured by a re-evaluation using a QEEG after a period of time. 

Even though the brain changes slowly, progress with neurofeedback can be seen almost immediately.  Training needs to continue over time to reinforce more efficient neural pathways. Individuals and their families report positive and happier outcomes from keeping up with their treatment. These changes are permanent and can continue improving over time.

More information about QEEGs and autism can be found at the International Society of Neurofeedback Research website, ISNR.org.

Neurofeedback is also effective with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, learning disabilities, head injuries and migraines.
