What Is a Neuro Assessment?

The Neuro Assessment Provides the Roadmap for Your Patient’s Journey to a Better Life

Understanding the Neuro Assessment

A neuro assessment, sometimes known as quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), is a cutting-edge, non-invasive tool that records and analyzes brainwave activity. It creates a visual representation of brain function, helping clinicians identify imbalances and tailor personalized neurofeedback protocols.

Why it Matters

The neurons in your brain constantly send and receive signals, forming electrical patterns that impact cognition, emotions, and mental well-being. The neuro assessment measures these patterns across five key brainwave types:

Delta Deep sleep & healing
Theta Relaxation & creativity
Alpha Calm focus & alertness
Beta Active thinking & problem-solving
High Beta High-level cognition & perception

By comparing a patient’s brain activity to an optimal range, providers can pinpoint areas that need training, regulation, or improvement.

What Are Brain Waves

Brain waves, rhythmic electrical patterns measured by EEG, are the mind’s symphony, each frequency band playing a distinct role in cognition, emotion, and behavior. Neurofeedback harnesses these waves, regulating their amplitude, distribution, and coherence to optimize function. Understanding their types, functions, and how they’re shaped offers clinicians a lens into the brain’s language and neurofeedback’s transformative power.

What Can a Neuro Assessment Reveal?

The neuro assessment can provide deep insights into brain function, helping clinicians:

Identify key areas of overactivity (hyperarousal) or underactivity (hypoarousal)

Correlate brain activity patterns with symptoms like ADHD, anxiety, or depression

Customize neurofeedback training to optimize brain function

Track progress over time and adjust training as needed

Just as a weather map can predict storm patterns, the neuro assessment highlights neurological patterns that may impact a patient’s well-being.
QEEG Brain Map

Different areas of the brain have different functional “weather patterns” that can be sub-optimal. The brain map reveals these “weather patterns” and guides the neurofeedback process by matching these patterns with normed training protocols.

How a Remote Neuro Assessment Works

Evoke makes the neuro assessment easy and accessible from home. The process is simple, painless, and takes less than 10 minutes:

1. Wear the sensor cap Place the lightweight cap or headband on your head
2. Connect to the Evoke app Ensure a secure connection and follow on-screen instructions
3. Begin the recording The app guides you through a brief data collection process
4. Review & analyze The session data is uploaded securely for expert analysis

This remote neuro assesssment allows our experts to track progress conveniently, ensuring that neurofeedback protocols are continually optimized for best results.

Why The Neuro Assessment is Essential for Neurofeedback

The neuro assessment is the foundation of effective neurofeedback training. Unlike traditional approaches based solely on reported symptoms, the new neuro assessment provides real data-driven insights to guide therapy.

Validates patient experiences

Shows that struggles are rooted in measurable brain activity

Eliminates guesswork

Pinpoints exact areas that need adjustment

Optimizes neurofeedback results

Tailors sessions to each patient’s unique brain function

Monitors improvement

Tracks measurable progress over time

If you or your patients have struggled with brain fog, mood disorders, ADHD, or anxiety, the neuro assessment can reveal the missing piece in their wellness journey.
