Dysregulated brain waves can be identified by a qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalograph) or “Brain Map” which is a painless and non-invasive functional test that scans 19 different areas of the brain to discover any areas that could be working better. In other words, a brain map is the measurement of electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp commonly referred to as “brainwaves”. 

Each of these 19 areas has known functions and correlations, and we can see what symptoms or state would likely improve if that area were to be functioning better. When we understand the specific areas where your brain needs a little help, we can plan your brain training protocol accordingly.

Conducting a brain map requires special equipment as well as technical know-how and skill. Additionally, it takes a great deal of experience to interpret the findings and to be able to custom design protocols for each client based on those findings.

At Asheville Brain Training, Dr. Yonce always performs a brain map before starting any brain training protocol. The initial Brain Map is used in four ways:

1- To see if brain training (neurofeedback) would be a good idea.
