Brain Function Assessment

Brain, as we all know, produces electrical potential. Though the voltage is often 1/millionth of a volt this can be recorded, measured and compared using sophisticated equipment. This measure is called Electroencephalography (EEG). EEG is the measurement of electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp which reflect cortical activity, and are commonly referred to as “brainwaves”. Quantitative EEG (qEEG) is the analysis of the digitized EEG, and in layman’s terms this sometimes also termed as “Brain Mapping”. The qEEG is an extension of the analysis of the visual EEG interpretation which may assist and even augment our understanding of the EEG and brain function.

Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) is a procedure that processes the recorded EEG activity from a multi-electrode recording using a computer. This multi-channel EEG data is processed with various algorithms, such as the “Fourier” classically, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) or in more modern applications “Wavelet” analysis. The digital data is statistically analyzed, sometimes comparing values with “normative” database. The processed EEG is commonly converted into colour maps of brain functioning called “Brain Maps”.

Brain Function Training

People have different problems with academic, behavioural, emotional, and relationship issues. We help them resolve these issues by using a non-invasive brain technique that normalizes brain function.

‘Normalizing’ brain function refers to the self-regulatory capability of the brain to adapt to different situations and circumstances. It is measurable. Conditions where BFT is effective are -

ADD/ADHD

Autism,

Epilepsy/Seizures

Mild Brain Injury

Asthma & Breathing Problems

Anxiety & Panic Disorders

Learning Disabilities
