After recording an EEG, we process the brainwave data in the Nx-Link Data Bank, developed by New York University and approved by the FDA. This allows us to compare brainwaves with other brainwaves, with normal patterns for the patient's age group, and with certain disease groups.

 

Using a calculation method called the Z-score, normal waves fall into the black (0.0) range, as seen in the bar below. If the wave increases significantly from normal, a Z-score of +2 or even +3 is shown in yellow and white colors. If it decreases, a Z-score of -2 or even -3 is shown in blue tones.

The data bank also indicates if the wave doesn't fall into the disease group we're comparing it to. Even if it's not a disease, the disorganization seen in the brainwaves can cause unease. In that case, Neurofeedback brain exercises may be necessary.

The patient/individual learns to raise the desired wave and lower the unwanted wave.

The colored brain map is an important reference for us. We examine which brainwaves need to be changed and how they align with the patient's complaints.

 

We can understand the changes by repeating the QEEG-Database recording after every 20 hours of Neurofeedback sessions and comparing it with other QEEG-Databases.

Neurofeedback is a brain exercise that has not been reported to have any side effects in controlled studies conducted on patients.
