Qeeg

[Cinnabar]

My psychiatrist has the software to perform a QEEG. All I know is that it can classify subjects into diagnostic groupings and a kind of "ruling out" e.g. head injury or not, Bi-Polar vs, Monopolare Depression. I would, especially, like to know if I have been misdiagnosed all these years. Bi-Polar vs. Temporal Lobe Epislespy. Top symptoms - mystical and estatic states. I wonder if a QEEG could determine this contrast.

That is interesting Laurie..I am not familiar with it. But that would be great for someone in your situation that always wonders is it this..or that??

I have both Bi-Polar and left temporal lobe epilepsy. I also have epilepsy on the right temporal lobe. I have to much to list.

Yes. I fell like an enigma. Who the hell am I? I don't know when but I hope for resolve.
Thank you so much understanding that which I'm trying to understand!

There are actually 2 types of qEEG and QEEG:

Quantum EEG is the older 16 or 24 channel, but is
colorized / computerized and was the first to come
out before and was labeled as (qEEG) - and it is
a type of "brain mapping" recording in 2-D, and
newer revisions do have some in 3-D.

and

Quantitative EEG (QEEG) - which is often now used
with Neurofeedback.

Which is your Doctor in reference to?

I've had both qEEG and QEEG.

That is what my Dr is referring to. I know it maps brave waves. Can it confirm temporal lobe epilepsy? L -

Oh cool! qEEG are now improved and are now
called MEG!

LOOK:

Thanks brain!

A lengthly article which I just popped into my 'Favorites". Will start the reading today. What they're doing with technology is fascinating. They way our brain works is fascinating.

I added SQUID to the post below alongside
with MEG - so bookmark both, I had the
links originally mixed up! Sorry!

A OK. Thanks brain. Trying to get it all together (in all ways!) Laurie
