Directing Functional Neurological Care with qEEG Brain Mapping: Pros and Cons

In this powerful episode, Dr. Spencer Zimmerman welcomes Dr. Michael Trayford, one of the leading experts in QEEG (quantitative EEG) and neurofeedback, to break down what brain mapping is, how it works, and where it's heading. Together, they unpack the strengths, limitations, and clinical applications of QEEG, from ADHD and brain injuries to long COVID and dementia. You’ll also hear how advanced providers are using tools like laser therapy, vibration platforms, and metabolic support—not just neurofeedback—to shift brain function in measurable ways. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered, “Is brain mapping worth it?”

Key Takeaways:

• QEEG Explained: Understand what quantitative EEG (brain mapping) is, how it compares to traditional EEGs, and what brainwave patterns reveal about cognitive and emotional function.
• Beyond Neurofeedback: Discover how QEEG guides interventions like laser therapy, vibration platforms, and metabolic strategies—not just brain training alone.
• Red Flags & Misconceptions: Learn how poor-quality equipment and plug-and-play systems may lead people down the wrong path, and what to look for in a trustworthy brain map.
• When Neurofeedback Fails: If you’ve done 10+ sessions with little to no results, this episode helps you know when to pivot versus persevere.
• Hope Through Precision: QEEG opens the door to more personalized brain rehab—especially for patients with concussion, POTS, long COVID, ADHD, and more.
