EEG for Beginners
Take a Beginners Course in EEG
Every year (and sometimes twice a year), the School of Neurotherapy teaches a Beginners Course in interpreting raw EEG. This course is taught by Tiff Thompson, one of the founders of the School of Neurotherapy.
This 10-week program is for those who are just beginning to read and interpret EEG data. Each week, learn how to identify EEG signatures, utilize brain-analysis software, and connect this data to pathologies and patient symptoms.
The class will be devoted to reading the raw EEG, explaining important terminology and concepts, going over montages and morphology, recognizing artifacts, and addressing all the things that seem to stump beginners. Many different forms of EEG assessment will be used, including Neuroguide, NeuroField, WinEEG, and others.
One aim of this course will be to guide the beginner to understand how the raw data will affect the quantified data. We invite EEG case submissions, as they make the course fun and will be some off-the-cuff work and interpretation, bit by bit. We will discuss common (and not-so-common) cases, when to refer out, EEG of drowsiness, of infants and children, adults and seniors, and more.
We invite you to submit your cases to: [email protected].

What is EEG?
What is QEEG?
*In summary, EEG is a technique for recording the brain's electrical activity, while QEEG is a computational analysis of EEG data, offering quantitative insights into brain functioning. The quantitative nature of QEEG can help researchers and clinicians identify patterns and anomalies in brain activity, which can be useful for diagnosing and understanding various neurological and psychological conditions.
