Unlock Your Cognitive Potential with QEEG & Neurofeedback at Amend

With qEEG brain mapping, you can visually track your brain’s changes throughout your stay at Amend – from admission to discharge.

In less than 45 minutes and with little to no discomfort, our neurofeedback providers can map your brain’s unique patterns and function with a qEEG assessment, often called “brain mapping.” This non-invasive procedure involves placing a cap-type device on the scalp to measure electrical activity and capture the dynamic patterns of neuronal activity, offering insights into the brain’s functional state.

Embedded with electrodes to measure your brain activity, the qEEG cap produces a detailed 3D rendering of your brain, which is then compared against standard brain activity measurements. This technology captures the dynamic patterns of neuronal activity, offering insights into the brain’s functional state. The resulting 3D maps allow clinicians to identify areas of the brain that may be underactive or overactive, contributing to psychiatric or neurological conditions.

A full qEEG report doesn’t diagnose anything, but it does provide immense amounts of insight into overactive and underactive portions of your brain, along with a thorough interpretation of each measurement. Your analysis may include hyperactivity or hypoactivity in portions of the brain that typically signify anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, etc.

 

“Change Your Mind”: Neurofeedback for Neuroplasticity

Neurofeedback, a direct application of the insights gained from qEEG, is a biofeedback modality that focuses on training individuals to alter their brainwaves. This training involves interactive exercises that adjust in response to the user’s brainwave patterns, promoting adaptive neurological changes. Through real-time feedback based on ongoing measurement of your brain waves, you’ll learn to regulate your brain activity, alleviate symptoms, and foster enduring cognitive improvements.

This tailored treatment can significantly relieve symptoms of various conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, and stress, by directly targeting the underlying neurological patterns associated with these issues. Our comprehensive services provide a deeper understanding of your cognitive functions, allowing you to engage in real-time brain training and monitor your progress effectively.

The Research on Integrated qEEG and Neurofeedback Services

• Alleviate Mental Health Symptoms: Meta-analyses have demonstrated significant reductions in symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and ADHD through neurofeedback interventions (Kerson et al., 2013; Micoulaud-Franchi et al., 2015).
• Enhance Cognitive Function: Published research highlights neurofeedback’s efficacy in improving attention, focus, and impulse control – offering promising outcomes for individuals seeking cognitive enhancement (Zuberer et al., 2015; Enriquez-Geppert et al., 2017).
• ADHD Support: Research indicates significant improvements in ADHD symptoms and sustained relief from neurofeedback interventions (Arns et al., 2009; Thibault et al., 2018).
• Emotional Stability: Longitudinal studies reveal neurofeedback’s ability to stabilize and regulate emotions – fostering emotional resilience and improved mood (Gruzelier, 2014; Ros et al., 2019).
• Optimize Sleep and Cognitive Performance: Neurofeedback may enhance sleep quality, improve mood, and increase mental clarity – increasing overall cognitive performance and well-being (Sterman, 2000; Arns et al., 2014).

 

Potential Side Effects of Neurofeedback

While neurofeedback is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated, some clients may experience mild adverse effects, including headaches, dizziness, and temporary cognitive impairment. Our experienced team ensures personalized care and support to mitigate any discomfort during your neurofeedback sessions.
