What does a brain map show?

As the name suggests, a brain map is a visual representation of your brain. The image, also known as a qEEG, or quantitative electroencephalogram, shows how your brain functions and allows you to see brain patterns that identify mental strengths and weaknesses.

How brain mapping test is done?

Using a cap placed on the scalp, our software captures the electrical impulses in the brain. This method is known as an electroencephalogram (EEG). The results show brain wave patterns in different parts of the brain. The process takes about 15 minutes, and the data is then converted into a visual brain map report.

Who created brain mapping?

Robert Livingston
Robert Livingston (scientist) (October 9, 1918 – April 26, 2002) neuroscientist in 1964 Livingston founded the neuroscience department, the first of its kind in the world, at the newly built University of California, San Diego. His best known research was in the computer mapping and imaging of the human brain.

What are the benefits of brain mapping?

Mapping the brain is key to understanding how it works. The population is ageing and one in three seniors will die with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Mapping brain areas could help in the early identification of such generative disorders.

What is brain mapping for kids?

Non-invasive, painless electrodes are placed on key parts of the patient’s scalp. Brain waves are measured and then mapped on a computer where a diagnostician can identify if brain waves are too active or too slow and compare them to the development of other children of the same age.

What is the cost of brain mapping?

Some people’s situation doesn’t warrant the cost of a map, which can run from $495 to $750. Certain kinds of common issues such as insomnia may respond so quickly to neurofeedback without hyper-targeted protocols that doing a map doesn’t make sense.
