How accurate are the results?
Wave has the world’s largest database of EEG data and also collaborates with NYU’s Psychiatry Department, where we license their normative EEG database. Combined, these two datasets provide accurate assessment of your brain data.
How do I prepare for a qEEG?
Preparing for a qEEG Brainwave Recording is simple and straightforward. We recommend arriving with clean, dry hair—ideally washed the night before your appointment. Please avoid using any hair products such as gel, hairspray, or oils, as they can interfere with the sensors’ ability to accurately capture brainwave activity. These easy steps help ensure the highest quality data for your Neurosynchrony Report.
