What Is a qEEG Brain Map?

A practical explanation of brain mapping before neurofeedback training.

Why start with a brain map?

A qEEG brain map records brainwave activity from the scalp and compares patterns across regions and frequency bands. It is not mind reading and it is not a stand-alone diagnosis. Its value is that it gives the provider a more objective starting point before choosing a training strategy.

Simple analogy: a qEEG is like a fitness assessment before a training program. It helps show where the brain may be overactive, underactive, or less well coordinated.

Patterns

Brain maps can show whether certain rhythms appear elevated, reduced, or unevenly distributed.

Regions

Patterns may differ across frontal, temporal, central, parietal, and occipital areas.

Planning

The data is reviewed together with symptoms, goals, history, and response over time.
