Key findings
- Data acquisition should follow ACNS standards for multichannel EEG
- Expanded guidance on artifact management and visual review for paroxysmal events
- Requirements set for EEG selection, quality reporting and spectral/statistical/topographic analysis
- Reviews well-validated QEEG features, LORETA and classifier methods, with cautions on their use
A professional guideline, backed by the International QEEG Certification Board, setting out the minimum technical standards for doing clinical QEEG. It builds on American Clinical Neurophysiology Society recording standards, with added detail on handling artifact and visually checking the raw EEG for paroxysmal events, and adds requirements for choosing EEG segments, reporting data quality and running spectral, statistical and topographic analyses. It also reviews the most established QEEG measures and tools such as LORETA and classifiers, with cautions, stressing that results are only as good as the recording and processing behind them.
