Brain Mapping
Brain mapping is a technique used to explore and understand the structure and function of the brain. This technique allows for mapping brain activity and connectivity in real time through the use of different imaging techniques.

Since 2014, FIVAN has performed quantitative analysis of EEG and Cognitive Evoked Potentials in order to understand the precise functioning of each patient’s brain and personalize treatment with the most advanced non-invasive neuromodulation techniques.
Brain mapping can include different types of techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Each of these techniques provides unique information about brain activity and connectivity. fMRI, for example, is used to detect changes in cerebral blood flow in response to neuronal activity, while EEG and MEG measure the electrical and magnetic activity of the brain. PET and SPECT measure metabolic activity and the distribution of different neurotransmitters in the brain.
Brain mapping is used in brain research to better understand how the brain works and how different brain areas relate to different cognitive, emotional, and sensory processes. It is also used in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Alzheimer’s disease.
QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) is a neurological evaluation technique used to measure the electrical activity of the brain through electroencephalography (EEG). The main difference between conventional EEG and QEEG is that the latter focuses on the quantitative analysis of cerebral electrical activity, rather than just showing the electrical activity in the form of waves.
QEEG uses sophisticated mathematical algorithms to analyze cerebral electrical activity and provides detailed information about electrical activity in different areas of the brain. This information can be used to identify patterns of brain activity associated with different neurological disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease.
QEEG is used in both research and clinical settings and can be useful in evaluating and monitoring the response to treatment for different neurological disorders.
In summary, QEEG is a non-invasive neurological evaluation technique that allows for measuring cerebral electrical activity and provides useful information for the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of different neurological disorders.
