QUANTITATIVE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY (QEEG)

Brain Mapping is a term that describes a comprehensive assessment of brain function through computer assisted analysis of the EEG. Surface electrodes record brain wave signals which can be viewed on a computer screen and digitally stored for later analysis. An electrode cap is used to ensure uniform placement of electrodes in an easy and comfortable manner. The proedure takes about an hour and is non-invasive and painless. The resulting Quantitative Electroencephalograph, or QEEG, provides a remarkable and clinically useful picture of how the brain is working.

SPECTRAL ANALYSIS

With the EEG data stored on computer sophisticated software programs are then used by Dr. Rozelle to visually examine the brain wave paterns, re-montage the data channels for different views and source localization, and perform statistical analyses. Topographical mapping provides vivid visual displays of how the electrical power in the brain is distributed.

DATA BASE ANALYSIS

The EEG data can then be compared to a Normative Data Base matched for age, gender, and handedness on measures of coherence, phase, amplitude asymmetry, and relative power. A Traumatic Brain Injury or Learning Disability Discriminant Analysis can also be performed. Low Resolution Tomography (LORETA) employs vector calculus to surface recordings to locate the electrical source generators. Three dimensional views can be created to enhance and complete the picture. The QEEG is a great tool for neurotherapy protocol development and quantifiable results.
