Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) provides a visual representation of a brain’s electrical activity (EEG), called brainwaves. Electrical impulses are generated when millions of neurons communicate with each other. Brain wave activity is compared to an age-normed database to identify possible areas of deviant activity, and this dysregulation can be correlated to behaviour dysregulation and symptoms.  

QEEG is not used for diagnoses.  Its use is not limited to Neurofeedback training alone, but QEEG-guided decision-making is also widely used to:

• Obtain clinical information about brain function which may be related to symptoms of stress, anxiety, mental inflexibility, dysregulated emotions and other symptoms
• Assist in confirming / or differentiating between various psychiatric- and neurological and neurodevelopmental diagnosis
• Monitor and track progress of treatment, training, medication and – responses, as well as other intervention protocols used in a wide variety of mental health scopes of practices.
• Decide on neuromodulatory interventions and techniques which may include (but is not limited to) NFT, Photo biomodulation and Biofeedback. 
• Monitoring and tracking the outcome of interventions used in Nutrition and functional medicine, as well as in allied health professionals like Occupational- and Speech therapists’ intervention and many others.
• Support opinions and recommendations in forensic court cases, in rehabilitation of TBI, and many other domains where QEEG will form part of a multi-disciplinary assessment process.
