Basic description of quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) in the context of neurotherapeutic application. Issues associated with spectral analysis of human EEG are discussed and an example quantitative EEG assessment report is provided. The human brain is the most resilient and adaptable structure in nature, the source of all of our emotions, perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors. The brain is made up of hundreds of billions of microscopic elements called neurons which use chemical messages to regulate electrical activity throughout the brain. The brain communicates to itself and with the body by means of these electrical changes and our emotions, perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors are the result of the totality of these electrical and chemical changes, although the exact mechanism of how brain becomes mind is not understood. The purpose of this paper is to provide a description of the brain¡¯s electrical activity, how it can be measured and how a quantitative EEG (QEEG) report can be used to guide neurofeedback treatment.
