Brain Mapping
Neurofeedback’s sophisticated tool that reveals what’s really going on inside your brain
The brain map, often referred to as a qEEG, is one of the most vital diagnostic tools available in the field of neurofeedback for use with people who have brain-based conditions.
Ascend Recovery Center counts with the most recent technology to create targeted brain training protocols.
Why have a brain map?
The ability to “map” the brain provides far more insight into where the problem is coming from in the brain versus just answering questions on a form. What “sounds like” one thing in a verbal or written questionnaire can actually be identified as something completely different when patterns of activity from the brain map are analyzed. For example, answers from a questionnaire might prompt an ADHD diagnosis that a brain map reveals is actually a learning disorder caused by faulty connections between the neurons.A wrong diagnosis based on just asking questions means there’s a risk that the recommended treatment, which in many cases involves powerful drugs, could be totally inappropriate and ineffective.
Major benefits of a brain map:
- Assists in identifying problems with brain timing
- Pinpoints specific areas of the brain that are not functioning optimally that can impact mood, behavior, attention, sleep, learning and more
- Helps indicate which interventions and neurofeedback protocols to target
- Provides information that can suggest which class of medications is appropriate or not suitable to the problem. (This knowledge can help reduce prescribing by trial and error)
- Helps explain why remedies tried up to that point haven’t worked
