Hi, my name is John Chau. I am a surgical neurophysiologist who published a book called Neuro Alchemy detailing all of the science and stories behind new neurostimulation modalities that are shown by science to help heal the brain and improve functioning. I hope you can all enjoy this read and find it stimulating! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CWD65TV
Righto. It would be good to find out if they analysed the raw. IMO qEEG findings always need to be interpreted in terms of the raw and the reliability of the findings drops significantly if it's not done.
The main difference between a clinical EEG and qEEG is that neurologists typically do the first, while psychologists typically do the latter. The scope of clinical EEG is geared towards medical issues, so EEG patterns associated with mental health conditions are typically considered normal. qEEG in contrast will make a lot more of these "normal findings" based upon typically occuring EEG patterns, spectral and normative analysis. A good summary of typically frameworks used is presented in this article: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Chapter-4-%E2%80%93-EEG-Vigilance-and-Phenotypes-in-for-Arns-Gunkelman/6ccaa82121c3b031176f85c8c5b14213b978d826
I'm no expert in this area by a long shot, but I have heard good things said in this subreddit about the Muse, as far as the cheaper consumer-grade devices go.
Curious, how does the Muse stack up against the BrainLink Pro? I'm a bit more interested in hardware limitations (e.g. number of channels, etc.)
