QEEG Brain Mapping

What is qEEG brain mapping?

QEEG brain mapping is a painless diagnostic scan that records your unique brainwave activity across different brain regions. At Optimum Peak Wellness, this technology captures electrical patterns that influence focus, mood, memory, coordination, balance, and energy levels.

The scan measures your brainwave activity and compares it to normative databases, pinpointing areas where your brain may be functioning inefficiently. This detailed baseline helps the team understand the specific patterns contributing to your symptoms and guide precise training for brain and performance enhancement.

How does qEEG brain mapping work?

During your session, you wear a cap fitted with sensors that record your brain’s electrical activity. You sit quietly for about 20-30 minutes with your eyes open or closed, and sometimes during simple tasks. The sensors only measure activity — they don’t send any signals into your brain. 

After the recording, Dr. Starr and the team analyze the data using specialized software that creates visual maps of your brainwave patterns. These maps reveal areas of overactivity, underactivity, or poor coordination between brain regions, showing how these patterns relate to your specific symptoms and performance challenges.

What conditions can qEEG brain mapping help identify?

QEEG brain mapping reveals brainwave patterns associated with:

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD and attention problems 
• Depression and mood disorders 
• Anxiety 
• Insomnia and sleep disturbances 
• Memory loss 
• Cognitive decline 
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) 
• Traumatic brain injury 
• Migraines and chronic headaches 
• Burnout and mental fatigue 
• Chronic 
• Stroke recovery

These patterns provide objective data that helps the team understand the root causes of your symptoms.

What happens after my qEEG brain map?

Dr. Starr and the team review your results and explain which brainwave patterns are affecting your symptoms or performance. 

Then, they create a personalized treatment plan, often including neurofeedback training to retrain problematic patterns and optimize brain function. Your brain map serves as your baseline, allowing you to measure progress as your brainwave patterns improve with treatment.

How does qEEG guide treatment?

While many assessments rely mostly on symptom descriptions to guide treatment, qEEG provides measurable data about your brain’s activity. This process allows the team to target the exact patterns causing your problems rather than guessing at solutions, leading to more precise and effective interventions.
