WHAT IS A BRAIN MAP
A Customized, Accurate Analysis Of Your Brain
The heart of our system is Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG), also known as a Brain Map. A Brain Map is a non-invasive tool we use to identify the problem areas of the brain. The QEEG is designed to objectively and scientifically evaluate a person’s brainwave patterns and takes the guesswork out of determining a person’s condition. There is no more accurate tool available today for identifying irregular brainwaves.
The Brain Map process is painless, safe, accurate, and non-invasive. There really is no better tool for analyzing brainwaves and collecting customized data for each individual.
How Does A Brain Map Work?
A brain map involves scanning the brainwaves on the surface of the scalp using a nylon cap. This method is known as a Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) and provides the most accurate recording of your brain function. The system then compares your brainwave activity to a database of established standards of normal brain function to determine if problems are present. The comparison is both age and gender stratified meaning we are comparing apples to apples. It does not identify specific conditions: It shows a map of problem areas in the brain that we can use to expertly determine likely neurological conditions.
The procedure consists of placing a snug cap on the head. Embedded within the cap are 19 small sensors that are designed to measure and record electrical activity (or brainwaves) coming from the brain. These sensors DO NOT put any electrical current into the brain – they simply record signals coming from the brain.
A brain map takes about 30 minutes to complete. Once the mapping is done, your data is uploaded to our database and a report is generated. We will analyze your data and determine whether or not to accept your case. If you are a good candidate for care an individualized care option will be prepared.
About Brainwaves

Beta Waves
Beta Waves are involved in conscious thought, logical thinking, writing, reading, and stimulation. Having the right amount of beta waves allows us to easily focus and complete school or work-based tasks. Having too much beta may lead to us experiencing excessive stress and/or anxiety.

Alpha Waves
This frequency range bridges the gap between our conscious thinking and subconscious mind. It helps us calm down when necessary and promotes feelings of deep relaxation.

Theta Waves
This particular frequency range is involved in daydreaming and sleep. Theta waves are connected to us experiencing and feeling deep and raw emotions. Theta Waves are out of sync, it can often worsen the effects of conditions such as Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD

Delta Waves
These are the slowest recorded brain waves in human beings. They are associated with the deepest levels of relaxation and restorative, healing sleep. Adequate production of delta waves helps us feel completely rejuvenated after we wake up from a good night’s sleep.
