EEG (electroencephalography) is a non-invasive method of recording the brain's electrical activity. By placing small sensors on the scalp, we measure brainwave frequencies — your brain’s natural signals that influence how you think, feel, and perform.
qEEG takes EEG a step further. It uses a 19-channel EEG cap to collect data from across the brain, which is then analysed against a normative databases. This creates a detailed "brain map" that identifies areas of overactivity, underactivity, or network dysregulation.
EEG shows us the raw signals. qEEG helps analyse the data.

REGION
The qEEG mapping can reveal dysregulation in different areas of the brain. Each region of the brain supports different functions. E.g., frontal lobes: planning, focus, self control.

Theta 4–8Hz
FREQUENCY
Brainwaves function at different frequencies. Excess slow-wave activity (such as theta) in the frontal regions, common in ADHD, can drive symptoms.

CONNECTIVITY
Brain networks facilitate functions like focus and self-regulation – disrupted functional connectivity can contribute to symptoms, especially in ADHD.
QEEG HELPS EXPLAIN THE "WHY" BEHIND SYMPTOMS LIKE
Trouble focusing
Emotional reactivity or anxiety
Brain fog and fatigue
Slow recovery after concussion
Every neurofeedback protocol at Headquarters is built on your qEEG . This lets us target the right regions, frequencies, and networks to help support outcomes such as:
Improved attention and focus
Reduced impulsivity (esp. in ADHD)
Better emotional regulation
Enhanced cognitive clarity
Faster recovery from post-concussion symptoms
No guesswork. Just data-driven, personalised brain training.
INTITIAL CONSULT
Discussing your symptoms, health history, goals, and medications helps ensure a more accurate understanding and analysis of your qEEG brain mapping.
QEEG SETUP
In clinic, we record brain activity using a 19-channel EEG. You’ll be seated comfortably while the technician fits an electro-cap and ear electrodes. The cap is filled with a conductive gel (a salt solution) to ensure optimal connection between the electrodes and your scalp.
SCANNING
Once the setup is complete, we record two 5-minute resting-state EEGs: one with eyes open and one with eyes closed. The EEG procedure is safe, painless, and requires no active tasks during the session.
DATA PROCESSING & ANALYSIS
Your EEG data is processed and analysed by a neuroscientist using advanced software to map brainwave patterns and identify deviations from typical activity. These insights guide the creation of a personalised neurofeedback training plan.
RESULTS
We review your qEEG results, explain key brainwave patterns, and outline a personalised neurofeedback plan based on your goals.
