Quantitative EEG (QEEG) for neurofeedback therapists with Swingle Clinical Q 16 FoBi
The EEG has long provided doctors with important information about serious disorders such as epilepsy or head injuries. But even the best diagnostician reaches his or her limits at some point: even with the naked eye, he or she will not be able to recognize more complex disorders such as depression or AD(H)S in a raw EEG.
This is where the so-called Quantitative EEG (QEEG) can provide important relief. This is because with the most modern data processing through EEG database matching, disorders are made visible by means of a brain map in the brain. This gives a diagnostician significantly expanded possibilities in his or her work - ultimately, the biological basis of autism, stress, illnesses or learning disorders in the brain is made visible.
Because similar to measuring blood pressure, there are also reliable norm data for the brain with which unfavorable brain activity can be determined very reliably. These biomarkers can ultimately be assigned to a specific symptom or disease.
The Institute for EEG Neurofeedback has been offering regular QEEG courses for 10 years and has been able to convince many doctors and neurofeedback therapists of this methodology. Among the best-known QEEG users in our network are Dr. med. Garner, Normen Schack and Frank Hegger, Roland Jörs, Markus Schürholz, Dr. med. Handwerker and Dr. Stöckl-Drax.
Advantages of QEEG
- Determination of abnormalities in the affected brain areas
- More precise diagnostics and findings
- Specific protocol creation, higher efficiency and shorter treatment times
- Improved presentation of one's own activities to the outside world, as QEEGs represent a professional and modern way of recording findings.
- High acceptance by clients, or in the team with other interventions (doctors, psychotherapists, neurologists, experts)
What can I learn in the QEEG course for immediate implementation in my practice?
- Recognition of typical patterns of neuropathological and psychophysiological dysregulation
- Linking the measured data with the individual affliction of the client
- Reliable creation of protocols
- Recording of clean data
- Using different EEG-Caps
- Electro-Cap
- Free-Cap
- Comby-Cap etc.
- Different methods of artefact correction
- Detecting Peak Frequency
- Mangaging difficult recording situations
- EEG Patterns and Biomarkers
- Using Neuroguide and QEEG-Pro for Analysis
Swingle Clinical Q
The quantitative EEG assessment developed by Dr. Paul G. Swingle is a very powerful evaluation tool for every neurofeedback practice. It can quickly and with a high hit rate identify EEG abnormalities that are very often closely associated with disorders such as AD(H)S, anxiety, burnout, depression and developmental disorders. The Clinical Q collects amplitude data from 5 consecutive EEG leads with only one channel each in only 6 minutes. This means that even simpler 2-channel neurofeedback systems can collect this data and make it available in a very meaningful report by means of an evaluation tool.
Curriculum
Day 1
- Electroencephalography in the clinic
- EEG technique and basic understanding of normal and abnormal EEG patterns
- Recognition and removal of artefacts
- Learning to use brain mapping software
- Finding and training clinically abnormal locations in the 10/20 system
- Characteristics of typical brain maps for depression, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism, Asperger's, etc.
- Introduction to the use of the NeuroGuide software
Day 2
- Recording technique of the QEEG
- Acquisition of data, editing with Neuroguide and Brain Avatar
- Data acquisition (programme execution)
- Normative EEG patterns using database comparisons
- Effects of drugs on the EEG
- Networks, hubs and correlation to symptoms with protocol selection
- Neurofeedback in learning disorders, traumatic brain injury
- Multi-channel neurofeedback with symptom check-list technique
- 3-D Loreta training and ROI training with and without Z-scores
- Comparison of Z-scores to symptoms with neurology
- T/B ratio
- Total amplitude
- Ratio to task and resting EEG
- Ratio EO to EC measurement
- Stress level indicators
- IQ indicators
- Biomarkers for anxiety and depression
- Difference to 19-channel QEEG
Required devices / software
Not all QEEGs are recorded with 19-channel devices. Today, there are also very good, less expensive alternatives available that also allow users of a 2- or 4-channel device to create meaningful QEEGs. Therefore, it does not matter with which equipment you attend this course.
Workshop language
The workshop is in English.
