Ihmisaivot – monimutkainen ja hyvin henkilökohtainen kone, joka on rakentunut varhaisina vuosinasi.
Tutustu miten aivosi rakentuivat ja miten saat ne toimimaan optimaalisella tavalla.
Pitkä elämä edellyttää terveyttä. Ennen kaikkea aivojen terveyttä. Eliniän odotteen noustessa on entistä tärkeämpää huolehtia aivojensa ja mielensä hyvinvoinnista, koska lisävuosien laatu riippuu niistä. Tarjoamme luotettavaa asiantuntijatietoa tärkeimmän "pääomasi" tilasta ja sisällöistä!
Löydä Hyvinvointisi !
Tieteeseen perustuva lähestymistapa aivojen ja mielen hyvinvointiin.
Kuinka pääsen mukaan?
Varaa ensin aika aivotoimintojesi arviointiin (qEEG-mittaukseen) laboratoriossamme. qEEG on yksinkertainen toimenpide, jossa aivojesi sähköiset signaalit kerätään talteen. Mittauksessa istut vain mukavasti tuolissa 45 minuuttia, minkä jälkeen olet valmis lähtemään. Toimenpide on ei-invasiivinen eikä sillä ole mitään haittavaikutuksia. Katso lisätietoja alla olevista usein kysytyistä kysymyksistä.
Tietojen analysointi tapahtuu kehittyneellä matemaattis-tilastollisella menetelmällä, jonka perustana on suuri joukko tieteellisiä tutkimuksia. Tulosraportti lähetetään sinulle salattuna sähköpostina. Se on muodoltaan selkeä ja helppo ymmärtää. Jos kuitenkin haluat apua tulosten tulkitsemiseen, niin että varmasti saat niistä kaiken irti, voit varata ajan konsultaatioon asiantuntijamme kanssa.
Palvelu sisältää:
- 45 min qEEG-rekisteröinnin laboratoriossamme
- Tietojen analysoinnin
- Raporttien luomisen (BrainMind Audit profiili ja Keskittymiskyky - aivojen toimeenpano-ohjaus)
- Informoinnin ja/tai neuvonnan kääntyä terveydenhuollon ammattilaisen puoleen, jos tuloksissa ilmenee kliinisesti merkittäviä poikkeamia – (VAIN, jos asiakas haluaa saada tästä tiedon).
SAAT TARVITSEMASI TIEDOT!
Kartoittamalla aivojesi ja mielesi toimintatavat saat:
Lisää itsetuntemusta
Saat kattavan peruskartoituksen aivotoiminnoistasi ja persoonallisuutesi ydinpiirteistä.
Näet paremmin nykyisen tilanteesi
Aivojesi peruspiirteiden lisäksi saat käsityksen myös siitä, kuinka hyvää huolta olet pitänyt itsestäsi ja mielesi sisältöjen muotoutumisesta. Elämäntapa, ravintotottumukset, liikunta ja stressaavat kokemukset jättävät kaikki jälkensä aivojen toimintaan.
Vain harvoilla kaikki aivotoimintojen osa-alueet ovat optimaalisessa tilassa. Onneksi jokainen meistä voi kuitenkin itse omilla toimillaan parantaa tilannettaan.
Tiedät mihin edetä
Aivojen ja kehon toimintoja ja vuorovaikutusta voidaan virittää tehokkaammaksi, jolloin optimaalisen tilan ylläpitäminen tapahtuu pienemmällä fysiologisella hinnalla. Kun tiedät luontaiset taipumuksesi, voit entistä helpommin rakentaa oman polkusi hyvään elämään – tulla parhaaksi versioksi itsestäsi.
Jatka hyvinvoinnin polulla
Kun olet tehnyt korjaavat toimenpiteet voit tehdä mittauksen uudestaan ja tarkistaa oletko saavuttanut tavoitteesi. Joskus, kun saavutat tavoittesi saatat huomata uusia kehityksen kohteita. Säännöllisillä mittauksilla pidät kehityksen käynnissä.
Pääset erikoispalvelujemme piiriin - nämä lisäpavelut eivät sisälly peruspakettiin:
Riskianalyysit (esim. Alzheimer, masennus, iskemia, ADHD ja monet muut).

MITÄ ASIAKKAAMME SANOVAT
Vuonna 2022 olemme tehneet asiakkaillemme kyselyn. Meille on tärkeää ymmärtää, kuinka hyvin olemme palvelleet heitä viime vuosien aikana ja mitä voisimme parantaa.
Erittäin suuri prosenttiosuus henkilöistä ilmaisee suurta tyytyväisyyttä, ja 100 % vastaajista ilmoitti tunnistavansa itsensä saamastaan profiilista. Heistä oli tärkeää nähdä profiilin paljastavan omia heikkoja ja vahvoja piirteitä ja taipumuksia. Yli 80 % vastaajista uskoo, että profiili auttoi heitä saamaan aikaan myönteisiä käyttäytymismuutoksia. Myöhemmin toistetuissa mittauksissa yli 90 % katsoi muuttuneen tuloksensa kuvastavan tarkasti heidän uutta subjektiivista kokemustaan itsestään.

“I had an EEG-scan to check how my brain works, which was very interesting. I received results which helped me to understand myself better. I also received a meditation program that was optimized for my brain”, (*) - Wellness Coach.
“I can't say how powerful experience it was to really see the results and really see what`s going on in my head. And I was like WOW, is my head in so optimal condition? It really was surprising - in very positive way. You guys found it all! My past experiences, the effects it has on my body experience etc. There it all was. And can`t wait to dive in deeper. The results made me figure out some practices which I try to use on myself and see after few months how the work will effect on my results”, (*) - Wellness Instructor.
“I was very pleased to see that the resources of my brain are rather high. It was motivating to keep healthy life-style to preserve such resources further”, (*) - Artist.
“I’m very satisfied with both the profile data as well as all the communications I’ve had over the years with BM-Science. I find the information very pertinent to my interests as a meditator and coach interested in facilitating changes in both my own life as well as that of my customers. I’ve been profiled many times over the years when I’ve made changes in my meditative routines whose effects on my brain functioning, I’ve wanted to assess. In general, the calculated profile has corresponded very well with my subjective feelings of how the practice has influenced me. The same has also been true during the period of my life when I felt more stressed and saw how my metrics started to creep away from the optimum values. It was a good reminder to reset my priorities and maintain my meditation routine despite the acute rush at work”, (*) - Wellness Coach.

Usein Kysytyt Kysymykset (FAQ)
Mikä on qEEG?
QEEG on digitaalisesti tallennettu kuvaus aivojen sähköisestä aktiivisuudesta. Aivoissa on miljoonia hermosoluja, joista jokainen tuottaa pieniä sähköjännitekenttiä. Näiden sähkökenttien yhdistyessä syntyy erilaisia lukemia, jotka päänahkaan kiinnitetyt anturit pystyvät havaitsemaan ja tallentamaan. Lue lisää täältä.
Mitä qEEG-istunnon aikana tapahtuu?
QEEG-istunnon aikana päähäsi asetetaan uimalakkia muistuttava päähine, jossa on useita antureita, jotka mittaavat aivoaaltoja päänahan eri kohdista. Tämä valmisteluvaihe voi kestää noin 20 minuuttia. Tämän jälkeen suoritetaan qEEG-tallennus, joka kestää noin 12 minuuttia (6 minuuttia silmät auki ja 6 minuuttia silmät suljettuina). Mittauksen aikana sinua pyydetään pysymään hiljaa paikallasi ja rentoutumaan (mitään tehtävää ei vaadita). Istut vain tuolilla koko istunnon ajan.
Kauanko qEEG-mittaus kestää?
QEEG-mittaus valmisteluineen ja kaikkineen kestää 45 minuuttia.
Onko qEEG menettely turvallinen?
QEEG-menettely on täysin turvallinen, kivuton ja ei-invasiivine.
Kuinka qEEG-istuntoon pitää valmistautua?
- Ennen mittausta, edellisen päivän illasta lähtien, ÄLÄ nauti kahvia, vahvaa teetä, suklaata, alkoholia tai lääkkeitä (ei reseptilääkkeitä eikä muita lääkevalmisteita, jos ne eivät ole aivan välttämättömiä).
- Mittauspäivänä syö vain kevyesti ennen mittaus (ei kahvia, eikä vahvaa teetä 4 tuntia ennen mittausaika). Pese hiukset perusteellisesti mittauspäivän aamuna, ÄLÄKÄ LAITA NIIHIN MITÄÄN RASVAA, GEELIÄ, HOITOAINETTA, VAAHTOA, LAKKAA, TMS. Nämä aineet tekevät päänahan liukkaaksi, niin että elektrodit eivät pysy tukevasti paikoillaan, mikä voi heikentää mittauksen laatua. Hiusten pitää myös olla kuivat.
- Älä käytä mittauksen aikana mitään metallisia korvakoruja, kaulariipuksia tai rannerenkaita.
- Älä tee aerobisia harjoituksia (pyöräily, juoksu, uinti jne.) 4 tuntia ennen mittausaikaa. Nämä voivat vaikuttaa mittauksiin.
- Lisäksi ennen qEEG-istuntoa sinua pyydetään täyttämään kattava anonyymi Online-kysely.
Miksi minun täytyy vastata online-kyselyyn?
Nimettömät vastauksesi voivat olla hyödyllisiä tulostesi kontekstualisoinnissa ja auttaa sinua paremmin terveyteen liittyvissä asioissa. Lisäksi vastauksesi tuottavat elintärkeää tietoa tieteen edistämiseksi eri qEEG-ominaisuuksien ja erilaisten yksilöllisten ominaisuuksien välisten assosiaatioiden tutkimisessa.
Toimiiko qEEG tulosraportti diagnoosina?
QEEG-tulosraporttia ei käytetä sairauksien diagnosointiin, eikä se korvaa käyntiä terveydenhuollon ammattilaisen luona. Se voi kuitenkin antaa vihjeitä toimintahäiriöiden mahdollisuudesta, kun poikkeamat optimaalisesta ovat suuria. Tällaisessa tapauksessa voit myöhemmin kääntyä terveydenhuollon ammattilaisen puoleen.
Mitä henkilötietoja osallistumiseen vaaditaan, ja miten näitä tietoja käytetään?
Keräämme vain ne henkilötiedot, joita tarvitaan tulosraportin toimittamiseen. Verkkotilauksen käsittelyn aikana sinulta kysytään nimeäsi, osoitettasi, puhelinnumeroasi ja sähköpostiosoitettasi. Näitä tietoja käytetään tilauksesi käsittelyyn, ja niiden myötä pystymme ottamaan sinuun yhteyttä tilaustasi koskien. Lisäksi kysymme ikäsi, koska tuloslaskelmat riippuvat ikäryhmästäsi.
Kun EEG:si tallennetaan laitteisiimme, sille annetaan ID-numero. Sinun on säilytettävä tämä tunnus, jos haluat myöhemmin tietoa profiilistasi. Emme säilytä henkilöllisyytesi paljastavaa tietoa yhteydessä mittauksessa keräämäämme dataan. Näin dataa ei pystytä suoraan yhdistämään sinuun. Suosittelemme lukemaan Tietosuojakäytäntömme ja Käyttöehtomme.
Miten tietojen yksityisyys ja luottamuksellisuus huomioidaan?
Pidämme tärkeänä ja suhtaudumme hyvin vakavasti pyrkimykseen turvata jokaisen henkilön yksityisyys. Teemme kaikki tarvittavat toimenpiteet, jotta yksityisyys tekniikan asettamissa rajoissa varmistuisi. Henkilötietojesi kerääminen, ylläpito ja suojaus tapahtuvat tiukasti Euroopan unionin yleisen tietosuoja-asetuksen (GDPR) tietosuojakäytännössä kuvattujen periaatteiden mukaisesti. Suostumuslomake (jonka jokainen asiakas saa allekirjoittaa) antaa yksityiskohtaista tietoa siitä, mitä vaihtoehtoja sinulla on tietojen tallennuksen ja käytön suhteen.
Kuinka kauan raporttien saaminen kestää?
Saat tulosraportin 3-7 työpäivän kuluessa.
Olen vastaanottanut tulosraportit ja tarvitsen apua konsultaation tilaamiseen asiantuntijan kanssa.
OTA YHTEYTTÄ tilataksesi konsultaatioistunnon. Sinut ohjataan kokeneen asiantuntijan luo, joka opastaa sinua tulosten tulkitsemisessa. Voitte sopia sopivan ajan suoraan keskenään. HUOMAA: Jos et ole vielä saanut tuloksia, älä varaa konsultaatioistuntoa.
Kannattaisiko minun toistaa testi myöhemmin?
Suosittelemme testin suorittamista säännöllisesti, varsinkin jos elämässäsi tapahtuu negatiivisia tapahtumia. Aivojen ja mielen toiminta riippuu lukuisista biologisista, psykologisista ja sosiaalisista prosesseista ja tapahtumista. Jokainen joutuu elämänsä aikana ajoittain stressaaviin, vaikeisiin ja negatiivisiksi koettuihin tapahtumiin, ja ottaa yhä enemmän vastuuta perheeseen ja uraan liittyen. Keskittyminen ja omien rajojen säilyttäminen on tällaisissa olosuhteissa tärkeätä. Toisaalta tällaiset tapahtumat myös väistämättä muuttavat aivojasi ja mielesi toimintaa. Kykysi selviytyä riippuu viime kädessä aivojesi ja mielesi vahvuudesta. Siksi aivojesi kunkin hetkisen tilan tunteminen on erittäin tärkeää: se auttaa sinua laatimaan strategioita elämäsi ja terveytesi parantamiseksi. Voit ajatella sitä varhaisena varoitusjärjestelmänä.
Liittyykö tähän palveluun mitään tieteellistä tutkimusta?
Kyllä, palvelun hankkimalla tuet tulevaa tutkimusta. Anonyymisti kerättyä dataa (jolla ei ole yhteyttä henkilöllisyyden paljastavaan informaatioon) voidaan käyttää tieteelliseen tutkimukseen (yksityiskohdat selitetään Suostumuslomakkeessa, jonka kaikki tutkimuksiin tulevat saavat allekirjoitettavakseen).
Liittyykö asiaan lääke- tai vakuutusyhtiöitä?
Ei.

FAQ
What is qEEG?
QEEG is a the digitally recorded electrical activity generated by the brain. In the brain, there are millions of neurons, each of which generates small electric voltage fields. The aggregate of these electric voltage fields creates an electrical reading which sensors on the scalp are able to detect and record. Learn more here.
What happens during qEEG session?
During qEEG session, a swim-like cap with a number of sensors is placed on your head to measure the brain waves from multiple locations on the scalp. This preparation phase may take about 20 minutes. After that the qEEG recording is performed, lasting about 12 minutes (6 minutes with open eyes and 6 minutes with closed eyes). During recording you are asked to remain quiet, still, and relaxed (no task is required). You remain sitting on the chair during the whole session.
What is the duration of qEEG session?
The whole qEEG session, including the administrative procedures, takes 45 minutes.
Is qEEG procedure safe?
The qEEG procedure is completely safe, non-invasive and painless.
How to prepare for the qEEG session?
- During the previous day evening, you should NOT use/take coffee, strong tea, chocolate, alcohol, or medication (either prescription free or not - in the case of essential medication, you should discuss the possibility with the doctor).
- At the qEEG session day, eat lightly before the measurement (no coffee or strong tea within 4 hours before the measurement). Additionally, you should wash your hair thoroughly and DO NOT USE ANY CRÈME, GEL, CONDITIONERS, HAIR SPRAY, MOUSSE, ETC. These products will make the scalp slick and the sensors will not stick, and those products may also affect the quality of the registration. The hair must be dried completely.
- Do not use metal ear-rings, necklaces or wristbands.
- Do not engage in the aerobic exercises (cycling, running swimming, etc.) within 4 hours before the measurement. These can affect the measurement.
- Additionally, prior to the qEEG-session you will be asked to fill-in a comprehensive anonymous Online questionnaire.
Why do I have to answer an online questionnaire?
Your anonymous answers may be helpful to contextualize your results and better advise you in case health matters arise. Additionally, your answers will produce vital information to advance science in the study of associations between different qEEG characteristics and different individual features.
Is the qEEG results report constitute a diagnosis?
The qEEG results report is not used to diagnose any illnesses and does not replace consultation with a healthcare professional. However, it may provide insights on the risks of potential disfunctions when the deviations from the optimal range are too high. In such case, you may later consult a healthcare professional.
What personal information is required so that I may participate, and how will that information be used?
We only require personal information necessary to supply you with the Results Report. During your online order processing, you will be asked for your name, address, phone number, and email address. This information will be used to process your order and will assist us in getting back in touch with you regarding your order. Additionally, your age is asked as the calculations of results depend on your age group.
When your EEG will be recorded at our premises, it will be supplemented by the ID number provided to you. You must retain this ID in order to access your profile. We do not keep together your personally identifiable information and your data, which cannot be directly associated with you. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
How is the privacy and confidentiality of data handled?
We fully support and take very seriously the privacy of each individual and we take all the measures necessary to enforce it within the limitations that technology provides. The collection, maintaining, and security of your personal information is done in strict accordance with the principles described in Privacy Policy and in agreement with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) act. The Consent Form (that every customer gets) gives detailed information about it and explains which options you have regarding your data storage and usage.
How long does it take to get reports?
You will get the results report within 3-7 working days.
I have received the results reports and I want additional help - How to order a consultation with a specialist?
Please CONTACT US to order the consultation session. You will be directed to an experienced interpretation specialist who will guide you through the results. You can agree a suitable time directly between yourselves. NOTE: In case you haven't yet received the results, please do not book a consultation session.
Should I repeat my test over time?
We encourage you take the test periodically, especially if some negative events happen in your life. Brain and mind functioning tightly depend on the biological, psychological, and social processes and events. Through your life you are periodically submitted to stress, difficulties, and negative events, as well as you are taking on increasing responsibilities with family and career. Staying focused and maintaining your edge is critical in such conditions. On the one hand, all these events inevitably alter the activity of your brain and mind. On the other hand, your capability to cope with stress, diseases, or negative events ultimately depends on the strength of your brain and mind. This is why knowing the current state of your brain throughout your life is very important: this knowledge will help you work out a strategy on how to improve your life and health. Think of it as an early warning system.
Is this service linked to any scientific research?
Yes, by purchasing the service, you will help to support further research. The anonymous integrated data (without link to personally identifiable information) can be used for scientific research (details are explained in the Consent Form that you will get).
Are any pharmaceutical or insurance companies involved?
No.

Please check our FAQs carefully. If you didn't find the answer to your question, please
The statistical multi-stage method is applied to a recorded EEG signal, decomposing it into a number of key components (EEG oscillations, their relations and dominance; wave shapes; distribution of EEG oscillations, their amplitude, power and dominant frequency; interhemispheric and anterior-posterior asymmetry; focuses of pathological activity; paroxysmal activity) that characterize the signal. Based on these components and the principles of information theory, the typization of a qEEG signal is obtained and the degree of deviation from the optimal norm is estimated.
A comprehensive quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis compares the electrical activity generated by your brain with an optimal reference of healthy individuals of your age and gender (normative reference) and a specific neuropathology group (pathologic reference) when needed. This can help identify optimal, suboptimal and abnormal functioning in the brain, the degree of these abnormalities, and also shed light on the nature of those abnormalities.
In this way, the probability that an individual belongs to a specific category or a subtype within a category is evaluated.
The optimal range of qEEG characteristics represents certain ideal characteristics displayed by a majority of subjects in the same age group, without current or past neurologic or mental complaints, without other illnesses or traumas (physical or psychological) that might be associated with brain dysfunction, without a history of substance abuse, and without a family history of neurologic and psychiatric diseases.
Deviation from the optimal range does not necessarily reflect abnormality or a pathological process. Deviation means that the brain functions outside the optimal range, thus spending more energy and resources to achieve needed results/aims. In other words, the brain works less efficiently.
If compensatory mechanisms of the brain are intact, then the qEEG characteristics’ deviation is pathogenically insignificant. However, the pathogenic significance of qEEG deviations from the optimal range increases when compensatory mechanisms of the brain are exhausted. This is usually associated with strong and very strong deviations from the optimal level.
Interpretation of the qEEG includes information regarding qEEG data based on published scientific research and careful consideration of other signs and symptoms that an individual presents with.
Advanced analysis of functional brain activity measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) provides a quick screening for the brain's functional state, estimates its predispositions, and neural and mental capabilities.
It is a very simple procedure. A standard qEEG assessment takes approximately half an hour to complete. An EEG cap and electrodes are placed on the subject’s head. The positions of the electrodes are standardized so that data from different laboratories or clinics can be compared more easily to one another.
The skin at each location is cleaned and prepared to ensure good electrode contact and, therefore, good conductance of electrical signals from the brain to the electrodes. A small amount of hypoallergic paste or gel is applied between the electrode and the scalp to further enhance signal conductance. Subject preparation may take 15-20 minutes using this approach. The EEG cap is anchored to the subject using elastic straps and connected to the EEG system via a strap that contains all of the information from the electrodes.
After the subject is prepared, the EEG recording is performed, lasting about 12 minutes. The subject is asked to remain quiet, still, and as relaxed as possible for 6 minutes with his/her eyes closed and then for 6 minutes with his/her eyes open. This is followed by several brief (few seconds) and alternating episodes of closed and open eyes. After completion of recording, the electrodes and the electrode cap are removed and excess gel or paste is cleaned from the scalp. You may want to wash your hair to rinse out the gel that is used in the cap. We have a space where you can wash your hair. Hypoallergic shampoo and towels are available.
After the examination, your data is processed and sent to the database of the BM-Science centre. Within a few days the report is produced and there will be a possibility to order personalised recommendations (a) for personalised coaching/training strategies (see coaching training support), (b) for personalised meditation strategies and exercises (see EEG-Guided meditation service), (c) for additional qEEG-screenings (see qEEG-screenings service), and (d) for personalised nutritional and dietary strategies (see NeuroNutrition service).
Studies of the closed-eyes resting state offer an important opportunity to examine baseline EEG patterns uninfluenced by any task. The resting-state condition avoids the confounding effects of visual scenes, instructions, and task execution (i.e., expectation matching, strategies employed, motivation or lack of it, fatigue and anxiety associated with task performance). Additionally, the resting state seems more self-relevant than standard cognitive tasks, which typically drive subjects to direct their attention away from their personal concerns. The resting-state condition permits assessment of “pure” self-relevant baseline brain activity. This activity reflects an individual's type of spontaneous processing of an internal mental context (top-down processing), such as random episodic memory and related imagery, conceptual processing, stimulus-independent thought, self-reflection, internal “narrative,” and “autobiographical” self. The frequently expressed concern that unconstrained brain activity varies unpredictably does not apply to the passive resting-state condition of the human brain. Scientific studies have shown that it is rather intrinsically constrained by the default functionality of the resting-state condition that comprises an individual neurophysiological type.
In this context, resting state EEG manifests the baseline mechanics of self-organization that regulates the multiple brain systems, adapting the brain and body to an ever-changing environment. Thus, resting state EEG reflects intrinsic baseline/default activity that instantiates the maintenance of information for interpreting, responding to, and even predicting environmental demands.
The human brain represents only 2% of total body mass, but it consumes 20% of the body’s energy, most of which is used to support resting ongoing neuronal signaling. When compared to this high resting energy consumption, task-related increases in neuronal metabolism are typically minor (<5%). The importance of resting state neuronal activity, which consumes most of the brain’s energy is supported by these facts.
The resting state constitutes a reference baseline, against which all cognitive and physiological states can be considered. Cognitively driven fluctuations cannot be interpreted except in the context of the default system. The default mode of brain activity at rest has a specific functional connotation with cognitive and emotional processes revolving around the subject’s internal state instead of current external events or circumstances.
Thus, patterns of resting state qEEG serve as a functional localizer (“content”), providing a priori information about the way in which the brain will respond across a wide variety of tasks and conditions (“context”). Learn more here.
qEEG helps:
- To identify the neuro-physiology of mental status changes: are these changes diffuse or focal? Are there epileptiform or other specific patterns? Or are these changes possibly functional or psychogenic?
- To identify the presence, localisation, persistence and type of seizure activity.
- To identify the psychiatric nature of an individual’s abnormal behaviour.
- To evaluate the extent of an organic basis for the individual’s complaints and their degree of severity.
- To evaluate the functional state of the brain.
- To evaluate cognitive, emotional, and motivational strategies involved in mental activity.
- To identify the weaknesses and strengths in the organization and neurophysiological status of the individual's brain.
- To establish a baseline of the present level of brain (dys)functioning in order to be able to detect stability, improvement, or recovery (or lack of it) in the future and assess the prognosis of the individual.
- To select specific psychotropic medications based on specific electrophysiological findings associated with clinical symptoms.
- To screen for potential risks of neurological/psychiatric diseases that an individual may have or will have in the future.

It is a “window” into your brain and an objective assessment of neural and mental capabilities.
EEG is a fast, non-invasive, painless and precise measure of brain functional activity. The intimate, dynamic structure of this activity is information-rich about the underlying cellular and intercellular processing, brain physiological, cognitive, and mental functions and resources, brain states and conditions. Thus, EEG reflects a functional brain state.
Digital EEG is the digitally recorded electrical activity generated by the brain. In general, EEG is obtained using electrodes placed on the scalp according to the International 10-20 System with a conductive gel (see Digital EEG Registration Procedure). In the brain, there are millions of neurons, each of which generates small electric voltage fields. The aggregate of these electric voltage fields creates an electrical reading which electrodes on the scalp are able to detect and record.
The core principle of quantitative EEG (qEEG) lies in the "precise and objective quantification" of electrophysiological brain activity by computerized analytic and statistical techniques. It permits extracting more precise information from the brain electrical activity than when using the conventional, simple unaided visual inspection of EEG signal. qEEG evaluates the manner in which a particular person’s brain physiological, cognitive and mental functions are organized and how the brain uses its strength and resources to cope with stress or disease and compensate for it.
Numerous studies have proved the stability and specificity of certain qEEG parameters. These parameters were being studied quantitatively in large samples of healthy functioning individuals across different nations and wide age ranges. These studies confirmed the high specificity of normative distributions of qEEG parameters within different EEG frequencies (delta, theta, alpha, and beta bands). Positive findings that differ from the normative values in healthy, normally functioning individuals have been shown repeatedly to be within the chance levels, with very high test-retest reliability. Normative data has been extended to cover the age range from 1 to 95 years for each EEG electrode in the standardized International 10-20 System and includes many parameters of qEEG. The independence of the normative qEEG descriptors from cultural and ethnic factors enables objective assessment of the brain functional state and integrity in individuals of any age, origin, or background.
Scientific literature on qEEG shows that as many as 89% of EEGs in neurological and as many as 68% of EEGs in psychiatric patients provide evidence of pathophysiology, and these results have additional utility beyond simply ruling out “organic brain lesions”. Such EEG studies may also aid in differential diagnosis, treatment selection, and evaluation. For example, several longitudinal studies have shown that initial qEEG profiles may distinguish among patients with the same DSM diagnosis who will respond preferentially to different medications or who will display different evolution of illness. In the Position paper of the American Medical EEG Association on qEEG, it is concluded that qEEG is of high clinical value now in dementia, mood disorders, mild head injury, learning disabilities and attention disorders, and schizophrenia and developments. Additionally, qEEG “scientific,” “technical”, and “other specialized” knowledge meets the standards of the Supreme Court rulings, thereby supporting qEEG as an admissible and clinically valid method in the evaluation of the nature and severity of neuropsychiatric disorders.
