neurofeedback, and quantitative electroencephalography
(EEG).
A method of mapping brain activity, EEG relies on the fact that
the brain functions on electrical movements of neurons. The
EEG has traditionally been used to monitor this activity in real
time and provide insight into neurological conditions such as
epilepsy. In recent years, EEG has also become widely used
in the mental and behavioral health fields.
3. A particular focus is on the cortex, or the brain’s outermost
layer, which guides higher functions such as decision making
and thinking. The EEG pinpoints areas in which there is too
little or too much activity when performing specified tasks, and
this in turn provides feedback on the reasons for cognitive
struggles.
This complex task is enabled by computerized analysis, which
reveals patterns and tendencies in the population as a whole
and highlights pathways forward in treating autism spectrum
disorder, learning disabilities, and ADHD. In addition, it is used
to provide individualized insight into memory issues such as
dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
