A book chapter bringing together two ways of reading the EEG to guide treatment choice in ADHD and depression: the EEG vigilance model, which describes how the brain's arousal regulation shifts during rest, and the EEG phenotype model, which classifies recurring EEG patterns. The authors argue that individual EEG profiles, rather than group averages, should guide personalized treatment, including neurofeedback and medication.
