What Is Brain Mapping?

Brain Mapping gives us unique insight into your brain’s activity. For example, we can see where certain parts of your brain are communicating well with each other. At the same time, we can also see where there are any disconnects. Your Brain Map provides us with a blueprint that is essential to developing a treatment plan customized your brain’s specific needs. See Figure 1.

The Brain Mapping procedure entails a three-part process:

Part 1: Initial visit and intake, including 20 minutes of EEG recording. During this process, we measure the “squiggles” or your brain waves.
Part 2: Our team will analyze the amplitude, frequency and relationships between different areas of your brain’s cortex. We also compare your EEG to our database of other EEGs and present that to you at your next visit.
Part 3: During this follow-up visit, we will walk you through your Quantitative EEG (QEEG) results presented as a Brain Map as well as our recommendations. The Brain Map includes the consultation of various cortical and sub-cortical structures (e.g., your brain’s surface and deeper areas below the surface of your brain) and the use of multiple software and brain imagining applications. After 10 sessions, we typically recommend a second Brain Map to gage how your brain is responding to treatment. At this time, we can see how your brain’s activity has changed so we adjust our protocols if needed. The ability to provide you with measured activity truly makes Neurotherapy different from other therapies you may have tried.

Brain Map of a 32-year-old male with a history of brain injuries after years of playing ice hockey. The graph at left represents the initial Brain Map. The red in the map here represents slow brain waves in his frontal lobes, where executive reasoning occurs. The graph at right represents the Brain Map after 20 sessions. The second map shows that his brain has regulated itself toward the mean for his age group.
