QEEG, Live Z-Score, sLORETA Live, NeuroGuide, BrainAvatar and more Using (Discovery 24E) 19 Channels Reviewed

January 23 – 27, 2013

Cleveland, Ohio (Click here for hotel information)

25 CE Credit Hours

For all experience levels : Beginner – Advanced

For clinicians who are about to dive into the new and exciting world of QEEG brain mapping and interpretation, this 4 day workshop will unlock the mysteries of how morphology of RAW EEG converts into color coded normative brain maps that provide clinically relevant insights. Our team of highly qualified and experienced instructors will cover everything from the basics of how databases are developed and normed to the subtle clinical skill set needed to identify and address underlying neural disregulation. Significant time will be allotted for hands on practice with the established equipment and designs, as well as introducing cutting edge approaches that are demonstrating promising results. The brilliant combination of normative databases with BrainMaster’s Mini-Q, and Discovery 24E adds a dimension that allows the practitioner to observe and train bain activity monitored at up to 19 channels (LZT ZOK, Z PLUS, PZ Motive, PZ Mean, including Z Bars, BrainAvatar, and Live Topographic Mapping) using the innovative live Z-Score methods (P ZOK). Practitioners from all levels of experience will walk away from this workshop with a richer understanding of how to use QEEG brain mapping and analysis to increase clinical efficacy.
