Emotiv data for qEEG interpretation

Introduction to Quantitative EEG (qEEG)

Quantitative EEG (qEEG) is an advanced method for analyzing and interpreting numerical data derived from EEG recordings. It offers a deeper understanding of brainwave activity by measuring metrics such as power spectral density, coherence, and other quantitative indicators. These metrics provide insights into brain function, enabling researchers and practitioners to pinpoint areas of interest or concern.

qEEG analysis typically follows the 10-20 electrode placement system, a standardized method for positioning EEG sensors on the scalp. This approach enables comprehensive mapping of brainwave patterns across different regions, facilitating the identification of areas that may benefit from neurofeedback training or therapeutic interventions.

How EMOTIV supports qEEG analysis
