EEG Brain Mapping & Neurofeedback Assessment
Better Neurofeedback Begins With Better Information
Clinical neurofeedback begins with understanding what we are trying to train.
Depending upon the clinical question and individual needs, assessment may include:
- Clinical interview and history
- EEG brain mapping
- Attention testing
- Cognitive assessment
- Standardized symptom measures
- Psychological or behavioral measures
- Sleep and stress measures
- Baseline outcome measures
Not every patient requires every test. Assessment is individualized according to the clinical needs of the patient.
What Is EEG Brain Mapping?
EEG records patterns of electrical activity generated by the brain.
Brain mapping allows clinicians to examine the distribution and relative activity of different EEG frequencies and consider those findings alongside symptoms, clinical history, behavioral observations, and other assessment information.
A brain map is one source of clinical information. It is not used by itself to diagnose a psychiatric or neurological condition.
Measuring Progress
Assessment does not end when neurofeedback begins.
Training data are monitored throughout treatment, and selected measures may be repeated when appropriate.
This allows us to evaluate:
How does the patient feel?
and
What do the objective measures show?
