Taking care of your mind has become just as important as maintaining physical health. To better understand your emotions and refine your behaviors, quantitative EEG, or EEGQ, offers a modern and accessible approach. By analyzing brain activity, this technology provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into yourself in a new way. Neuroperforma leverages EEGQ to promote well-being, guiding individuals toward a more harmonious balance and an improved quality of life.
Quantitative EEG: Definition and How It Works
The quantitative electroencephalogram (EEGQ) is an advanced brain analysis technique gaining popularity in the fields of health and wellness.
At Neuroperforma, this method is used clinically to measure brain electrical activity with high precision. Small sensors are placed on the scalp to record the intensity and distribution of brain waves. These data are then processed using digital tools to create a detailed map of neurological functioning.
Difference Between EEGQ and Traditional EEG
EEGQ is clearly distinct from the classical electroencephalogram (EEG). While a traditional EEG mainly detects anomalies or specific medical disorders, EEGQ goes much further.
EEGQ examines different types of brain waves in depth:
- Delta (<4 Hz): deep sleep, unconsciousness, regeneration
- Theta (4–8 Hz): creativity, intuition, the state between wakefulness and sleep
- Alpha (8–12 Hz): relaxation, calmness, conscious/unconscious connection
- Beta (13–30 Hz): focus, analysis, problem-solving
- Gamma (>30 Hz): memory, learning, simultaneous information processing
In the context of the brain, Hertz (Hz) is a unit of measurement indicating the number of wave cycles per second.
EEGQ also helps understand how these waves interact in various situations. This precision enables a deeper understanding of how each processes information, manages emotions, and responds to challenges or complex situations.
One of the main advantages of EEGQ is that it provides:
- Objective, reliable, and personalized data
- Insights into a person’s strengths and weaknesses
- A basis for targeted interventions, including neurofeedback
The benefits are numerous: improved stress management, increased concentration and attention, better emotional regulation, reduced impulsivity, and optimized cognitive performance in daily life.
A national survey in Canada shows that nearly 70% of the population has access to EEGQ services through university or medical institutions. This figure illustrates the increasing integration of this technology into the Canadian healthcare system, underscoring its crucial role in promoting mental and cognitive well-being.

EEGQ According to Neuroperforma
At Neuroperforma, EEGQ plays a central role in supporting clients who seek a deeper understanding of their brain function. This tool is not intended for medical diagnosis but can complement support for issues such as ADHD, anxiety, or sleep disorders.
Based on the results, a neurofeedback or cognitive training program is designed to improve concentration, emotional regulation, stress management, and sleep quality. This progressive approach helps individuals strengthen their natural abilities and regain better mental balance and daily well-being.
The protocol offered by Neuroperforma is structured and transparent. The first step is the EEGQ assessment, during which 19 electrodes are placed on the scalp to record electrical brain activity.
The mapping analysis of brain waves identifies specific patterns that guide the creation of a personalized training program. Neurofeedback sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes, and a series of sessions is recommended to achieve tangible and lasting results.
Concrete Benefits for the Client
Quantitative EEG enables individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their emotional reactions and behaviors, informed by reliable scientific data.
Often, we react strongly to certain situations without knowing why. These reactions may be linked to past experiences, whether identified or not, which continue to influence the way we perceive and manage our daily lives.
By objectively measuring brain activity, EEGQ highlights these invisible patterns, offering a deeper understanding of oneself. This awareness is a crucial step toward alleviating discomfort and adopting more effective behaviors in challenging situations.
Another advantage is the ability to track progress over time. Repeated measurements allow for observation of improvements, positive adjustments, and increased client motivation.
With a personalized plan based on their own brain data, each person benefits from a tailored support program.
Conclusion
Quantitative EEG (EEGQ), as used by Neuroperforma, provides a precise analysis of your brain activity to guide personalized support. Whether you aim to manage stress more effectively, improve your attention, or deepen your self-awareness, this scientific approach offers concrete, tailored solutions.
At Neuroperforma, EEGQ is always combined with a neurofeedback training program. This combination ensures not only a detailed understanding of your brain functioning but also the implementation of an effective personalized improvement plan.
