qEEG brain mapping
A quantitative EEG assessment used diagnostically to characterise a patient's brain-activity profile, informing rather than replacing clinical judgment.
What it is & how it works
A quantitative EEG assessment that records and statistically analyses a patient's brain electrical activity against normative reference data, used diagnostically to characterise a patient's brain-activity profile rather than as a treatment itself.
How it's done
Typically administered as a single outpatient session lasting roughly 45–90 minutes, involving scalp electrode placement (an EEG cap or individual electrodes) and periods of recording during rest and simple tasks, performed or supervised by a trained technician or clinician, with the resulting map reviewed by the treating clinician afterward.
Why Brain Bridge
Consistent with Brain Bridge's precision-diagnostics-driven model, qEEG is used to individualize planning rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic or treatment claim.
Evidence & safety
Diagnostic/planning tool; informs, does not replace, clinical judgment.
Related questions
They use the same recording, but qEEG applies additional mathematical and statistical processing to compare a patient's brain-electrical activity against normative databases, rather than relying on visual reading alone; it's typically used as a complementary characterisation tool rather than a stand-alone diagnostic test.
No — qEEG findings are interpreted alongside the full clinical picture. Evidence for its clinical utility varies by use case and remains actively debated in the neurology literature, which is why it's used to inform planning rather than deliver a diagnosis by itself.
