A discussion paper on where QEEG assessment and live z-score training fit within mental health care and neurofeedback. It considers what clinicians can learn about a client from a QEEG and why live z-score training is a reasonable treatment option. The central argument is that the brain should be understood as a dynamic, self-regulating system of networks and frequencies, and that what we call disorders often reflect dysregulation within it.
