What preliminary workup precedes neurofeedback training?
• A careful history of the person is taken, symptoms are noted, other conditions (medical, psychological, etc.) are discussed. Records from a referring physician or counselor are reviewed. • Other studies such as a T.O.V.A. or one of the many standardized tests may be done as the situation calls for. • A Quantitative EEG (QEEG) reading may taken. This data is analyzed with comparisons to “normed” databases from such places as New York University, Harvard, etc. • These preliminaries often require two hours or more. As a result of this data gathering, consults with other professionals may be indicated before neurofeedback training would start.
