One of the analytical methods that sets the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. apart from other practices is the use of Quantitative EEG, or QEEG technology to help us learn the unique manner in which each brain functions.
Through the use of one of the most advanced tools developed in psychiatry over the last 50 years, treatment is no longer a guessing game. We are now able to accurately evaluate and understand in an objective fashion both the structure and function of each brain, and to see how behaviors are affected. This allows us to be more precise in our interventions and to obtain better results.
A QEEG (also called a Digital EEG) is a computerized data collection of the electricity the brain produces (brainwaves). The process is non-invasive and only collects brainwaves—no electricity is ever put into the brain. This data can be helpful in finding the nature of attentional or learning problems since many patients are misdiagnosed based only on their symptoms.
Not only is this helpful diagnostically, it can also help direct treatment decisions—whether through correct medication choices or other non-pharmacological treatments.
