Workshop Title
Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG): Interpretation and Training for a Range of Clinical and Peak Performance Conditions
Workshop Description
The emerging prominence of Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) has revolutionized our understanding of brain dynamics, offering a powerful toolset to probe brain function, cognition, and psychopathological disorders. This workshop, valid for the QEEG certification aims to provide a comprehensive and hands-on exploration of QEEG methodologies, applications, and its potential impact on various domains of neuroscience and healthcare. The workshop will commence with an in-depth introduction to the principles and fundamentals of EEG and the transition to QEEG analysis. Participants will gain insights into signal acquisition techniques, electrode placements, and data preprocessing procedures, followed by an overview of the key concepts in quantitative analysis, including power spectral density, coherence, and phase synchrony. The main focus of the workshop will be on understanding how QEEG can be utilized to study various aspects of brain function and behavior. Different disorders are associated with specific QEEG patterns. Participants will delve into the investigation of QEEG-endophenotypes of brain disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety and many others. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore case studies and practical scenarios that demonstrate QEEG’s potential to assist in the management of several conditions. Practical sessions will be a crucial part of the course, allowing participants to work with real EEG datasets and QEEG analysis software. Hands-on exercises will help participants develop proficiency in applying QEEG techniques and interpreting results. The workshop is tailored to professionals and students seeking to expand their knowledge and expertise in the realm of QEEG.
Learning Objectives
1) Participants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of QEEG analysis.
2) Participants will understand how to preprocess raw EEG data for reliable QEEG analysis by removing artifacts and reducing noise.
3) Participants will be able to recognize various spectral and temporal analysis methods to EEG data, including power spectral, coherence and phase synchronization.
4) Participants will start to analyze QEEG data and results to find neuromarkers linked to brain disorders, assess treatment impacts, and suggest informed steps for therapy or more study.

About Luciana Lorenzon
Luciana Lorenzon is a Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist. Certified instructor for BFE and BCIA mentor for Neurofeedback. Qeeg Diplomat and provider of Didactic Training recognized by the International QEEG Certification Board (IQCB).
Founder of CINB Centro Italiano di Neurofeedback e Biofeedback and member of the International Liasons of the Applied Psycophysiology Education (Aped) program. As the head of the biofeedback and neurofeedback service at ISmerian, Institute of Regenerative Medicine and Anti-Aging in Treviso, her current focus involves complex assessment methods combining QEEG brain imaging with holistic health and nutritional bioclinical analysis in diagnosing and treating mental disorders, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of biofeedback, neurofeedback and lifestyle modifications. She is responsible for the Psychophysiology unit of the BFE Center of Excellence “Medicina e Sviluppo” in Treviso, Italy where she combines applied neuroscience with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She worked as a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist in a rehabilitation and research center for diagnostic and treatment of children and adult with a wide range of difficulties including adhd, autism, concussion/brain injury, depression and anxiety. In her clinical practice, she has successfully treated patients with a wide variety of conditions using QEEG-based diagnosis, biofeedback and neurofeedback.
Her current focus includes a more complex assessment approach that combines functional brain imaging (qEEG) techniques and “omics” strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and the effectiveness of the combination of Biofeedback, Neurofeedback and lifestyle modifications.
She is a member of the Board of Directors of SINQ (Italian Society of Neurofeedback and qEEG) and is the BFE Advisory Board Vice President.
About Antonio Martins-Mourao
Antonio Martins-Mourao is a clinical psychologist and neuro-psycho-physiologist with a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from University College London (UCL). A certified member of the British Psychological Society’s Clinical Division, his career spans over three decades, combining research and practical application in mental health.
At the UK Open University, he lectured Psychophysiology & Mental Health and founded the QEEG & Brain Research Lab, focusing on neuromarkers for anxiety disorders, OCD, and PTSD. He also leads London Scientific Neurotherapy, specialising in neuromodulation for trauma treatment.
His workshops, well-known in Europe and Brazil, bridge a gap between the objective measurement of brain dysfunction and understanding patient experiences. He emphasises an ecological approach to brain health, considering developmental, psychosocial, and educational contexts in treatment plans.
Dr. Martins-Mourao is recognised for translating complex neurophysiological concepts into clear, actionable insights, ensuring that participants, regardless of prior expertise, can grasp and apply the principles taught in his workshops.
He is the author of “Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback in the 21st Century: A Handbook for Clinicians and Researchers,” and collaborates with Professor Juri Kropotov of the Institute of the Human Brain. He was invited by Jay Gunkelman to participate in the Suisun QEEG Summit 2024. He is also a regular presenter at BFE meetings, and a member of the Advisory Board at the Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation Research Foundation FNNR.
Workshop participants can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of QEEG in clinical settings, benefiting from his extensive research and practical experience to enhance their diagnostic and treatment capabilities.
