Bipolar disorder is a personality disorder characterized by soaring highs and devastating lows. It can greatly reduce one’s quality of life, causing poor personal relationships, the inability to hold a job, and other issues.

Can neurofeedback and brain mapping, or quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) which tests the electrical activity of the brain, help you or your child build stronger attention and focus? In this article, you can learn how brain mapping for ADHD can be beneficial.

At its core, the brain is an electrochemical organ that uses fluids, hormones, and electrical signals to direct thought, to receive information and stimuli, and form personalities and thought actions in every human being. Those electrical signals move in “brain waves” that can be organized into types of brain waves and detected through certain brain mapping tests that measure electrical energy using specialized sensors.

In the fields of neuroscience and psychology, neuroimaging technology is used to image or scan the pharmacology, function, and/or structure of the brain. With neuroimaging technology, physicians and psychologists can gain a clearer understanding of conditions or disorders that may be affecting their clients.

The world of neuroscience is constantly evolving, and modern techniques have significantly increased physicians’ and psychologists’ ability to accurately detect and diagnose a variety of major disorders and mental conditions. Among the most effective tools physicians can use is the qEEG or quantitative electroencephalography analysis.
