We know what we can do with a trained body, but what happens when we begin to train our brain?
Lucent Neurology
Welcomes you to learn about Neurofeedback
The better your brain functions, the better YOU function. Plain and simple. The better shape your brain is in, the better you will perform on a day to day basis. In order to live your best life your brain has to be running at its best.
In order to fix any issues in the brain, you have to go directly to the root of the problem. This means going straight to the brain and teaching it how to perform better.
At Lucent Neurology we utilize three types of neuroimaging to assess where your brain is functioning well and where it could use some improvement: raw electroencephalography (EEG), quantitative EEG (QEEG), and standardized weighted low resolution electromagnetic tomography analysis (swLORETA).
About QEEG
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even during asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) is an analysis of recorded EEG that transforms raw EEG line graphs into “brain map” images, thus allowing us to better observe overall brain activity patterns in real time. EEG is known for its ability to observe neural activity in milliseconds which surpasses other imaging methods such as functional MRI. Another benefit of qEEG is that it is non-invasive, requiring no intake or injection of radioactive chemicals. As such, it can be used frequently and for longer periods of time with no risk to your health.
QEEG Neurofeedback is a therapeutic intervention that provides immediate feedback from a computer-base program that assesses a client's brainwave activity. The program then uses sound and/or visual signals to reorganize or retrain these brain signals. By responding to this process, clients learn to regulate and improve their brain function and to alleviate symptoms of various neurological and mental health disorders.
swLORETA is a 3D functional imaging technology that measures multiple metrics throughout the human brain. It utilizes a 19-sensor EEG cap and mathematical algorithms to determine the specific sources of brain activity. swLORETA is able to localize activity much deeper within the brain than traditional qEEG.
