Quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) and neurofeedback therapy are noninvasive, involve no drugs and work together to address mental and physical health concerns. By using brain activity, providers can diagnose and find proper treatment for your condition.
What Is QEEG?
A quantitative electroencephalogram is an assessment of the brain’s electrical activity (brainwaves) using a multi-electrode recording device connected to a computer. Brainwaves are directly connected to how we think, feel and act. The analytical data can then be studied and converted into brain maps that show cognitive, executive, behavioral and emotional responses. It also offers insight into choosing individualized training protocols, nutrients and medications.
What Is Neurofeedback Therapy?
Neurofeedback measures and presents real-time feedback on the patient’s brainwave activities, such as delta, theta, alpha and beta. This approach is time-tested, safe and endorsed by the FDA and American Pediatrics Academy.
A typical neurofeedback session takes about 30 minutes. The number of sessions required varies from 20 to 40 based on each patient’s condition. For special conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI) or autism, it may take more sessions to see the benefits of neurofeedback training.
Conditions That Neurofeedback Helps
Neurofeedback has been successfully used by people of all ages, professions and businesses to safeguard their success in their career and life. It is a clinically proven therapy for treating numerous brain disorders, including:
- Adult attention-deficit disorder (AADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Stress and anxiety
- Traumatic brain injury
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Sleep disorders
- Memory deficits
- Depression
- High-functioning autism spectrum disorders
- Neurofeedback brain training for peak performance

Neurofeedback at Yang Institute of Integrative Medicine
We combine state-of-the-art brain mapping (QEEG), comprehensive psychological testing, intensive research-based brain training methods and personalized training protocols to help our patients. With our integrative and holistic approach, we incorporate nutrient therapy, acupuncture, medication adjustment and psychotherapies into the neurofeedback treatment, and we usually achieve better and optimized results.
Biofeedback and Brain Optimization Training
Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback. At Yang Institute, we offer biofeedback and brain training to help your brain properly function. Biofeedback can also use vital signs to measure your wellness. Monitoring heart rate and temperature can help you monitor stress and learn relaxation techniques that work for you.
Neuromodulation Therapy
Yang Institute also offers a neuromodulation variation for neurofeedback therapy. Neuromodulation uses electrical or chemical stimulation to alter nerve activity and modulate tissue function. QEEG data guides neuromodulation and provides a much more extensive range of mental conditions.
Neuro-Psycho-Energetic Therapy
As humans, we encounter life through mental, physical and emotional events. We often suppress negative and traumatic life events in our subconscious, and our bodies can retain these memories. As a result, new life events can trigger a response in the form of a panic attack, behavioral avoidance or physical symptoms. Neuro-psycho-energetic therapy combines psychotherapy, neuro-emotional techniques and acupuncture to treat the whole body and address emotional and physical trauma.
