Key findings

  • A full 19-channel QEEG is not required for successful neurofeedback, but increasingly guides training
  • A substantial peer-reviewed literature supports QEEG as an objective assessment for many conditions
  • QEEG is within the scope of practice of appropriately trained psychologists
  • Physician screening of raw EEG is not necessary as part of a QEEG evaluation for neurofeedback

The position paper of the International Society for Neuronal Regulation (now ISNR) on standards for using quantitative EEG (QEEG) in neurofeedback, written by an interdisciplinary committee and adopted unanimously by the society's board. The committee reviewed QEEG standards in other specialties and the research literature. It notes that neurofeedback practitioners use QEEG mainly to guide training rather than to diagnose disease, and sets out recommendations for training, certification, equipment and software, and how data should be collected and analyzed.
