About this 5-day Workshop
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.
More details on additional requirements and the process for QEEG Certification coming soon.
Learning objectives
Clear Learning Objectives to Support Measurable Progress
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.
