the brain waves. e sensor Hume
places on your scalp measures
1/1,000,000 of a volt; it's extremely
sensitive. e sensors pick up the
electroencephalography (EEG), or in
other words, the electrical patterns of
the brain activity beneath the scalp. In
a qEEG, the "q" stands for quantitative,
as it is the analysis of the digitized
EEG readings, which is also known as
"brain mapping."
For a brain map, a client dons a
white meshy flexi-fabric cap with 19
sensors. Hume has various options
depending on the size of a client's head.
e surface sensors detect the electrical
activity of the brain waves at various
sites upon the head. A belt is also worn
across your chest. ese two connect to
the "Tru Scan," a small black box that
serves as an encoder. is collects the
data and sends it to Hume's computer.
Hume is not a medical doctor, nor
is she a neurologist, but she gathers
information the same way a medical
doctor or a neurologist might. "How
we collect data is the same, but they
look for pathology (sickness) and I
compare the individual to a normal
database and I see where there
are any differences compared to a
normal brain, as far as frequencies."
A full brain map is usually 100 pages.
Hume carefully goes through every
perspective to see what she finds.
"A person is very dynamic for who
they are and what comprises their
makeup between their central nervous
system and their autonomic nervous
system. A brain map is important to
understand 'what's under the hood,'
so we put on the cap and record their
EEG."
e basics of brain waves
I'll let Hume explain.
"We have slow brain waves and fast
brain waves going on in different parts
