- Degree of function of all brain networks
- 48 areas of cortical function
- Cerebellar function
- Communication patterns within networks between cortical areas
The qEEG is a well-established tool that can be used to plan specific in-brain treatments, as well as identify seizures, metabolic and toxic patterns, head injury, etc. The qEEG enables us to understand the underpinnings in the brain itself of emotional and cognitive problems and guides us to additional treatment options previously not available.
