The recordings are then reviewed by a neurologist and a QEEG expert, who review the raw EEG and compare the findings to a normative database. By assessing where the client's brainwave activity is functioning outside of the norms, we can then develop an individualized neurofeedback treatment protocol in order to train the brain to function in a more optimal way. With the change in the bioelectrical activity, clients often experience a reduction in symptoms. The QEEG is done in person in the comfort and convenience of our office. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1456356013347-66IF2NZ2N10IGNLJSO95/image-asset.jpeg Brain Mapping Example of three different ways that ADHD can manifest in the brain. Each pattern can be more effectively treated with neurofeedback protocols that are targeted to train the affected areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/af81d92c-39e0-4e93-8040-2edb1d49221a/shutterstock_408266332.jpg Brain Mapping With increasing awareness of the long-term impacts of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) on athletes, the importance of comprehensive brain health checks cannot be overstated. Repetitive TBIs, often linked to contact sports, can result in chronic symptoms such as headaches, memory and concentration difficulties, mood changes, balance issues, and sleep disturbances. Over time, these symptoms may affect an athlete's performance, decision-making skills, and overall well-being. Furthermore, repetitive TBI carries a risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases later in life, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson's disease. The QEEG, through its detailed mapping of brainwave activity, plays a vital role in identifying changes and irregularities often associated with TBI. These insights offer critical guidance for tailoring treatment strategies and managing the athlete's safe return to play. In an era of heightened awareness, tools like the QEEG are invaluable in safeguarding athletes' well-being while aiding them in their pursuit of peak performance. http://exceedyourperformance.com/performanceservices daily 0.75 2023-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1453114784915-GMSSB9MFRMK93YOIHVFP/SM+sunset5.jpg Performance Services http://exceedyourperformance.com/neurofeedback daily 0.75 2023-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1680025011853-ISMIW1KMV0THFM903KPR/Brainwaves-What-You-Need-To-Know-Cognitive-Solutions-Learning-Center.jpg Neurofeedback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/458f21ed-5d7f-443d-8eb0-95433ce594dc/Brainwaves-What-You-Need-To-Know-Cognitive-Solutions-Learning-Center.jpg Neurofeedback - Neurofeedback Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/f47e2c38-3dc8-4fcd-9fc3-df62bba97446/Scher_headshots-48.jpg Neurofeedback A client improves his focus by first becoming aware of how his brain becomes distracted, and then by increasing the brainwaves associated with focused concentration. http://exceedyourperformance.com/location daily 0.75 2023-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1453161173477-AGFRQ1YRMIG00VTUITKA/SM+sunset1.jpg Location https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1691534290915-EOBKLX3E14F3J6IYCKUR/image-asset.jpeg Location - Make it stand out Santa Monica, CA http://exceedyourperformance.com/home daily 0.75 2023-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1690323025057-7BJ3OFIK4I4DBGXBCOBU/AlternativeLogo.png Transformative Performance Psychology http://exceedyourperformance.com/why-choose-us daily 0.75 2023-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1453175690619-QKYB52NAYVDKZJNY65LX/flyer_take_2.jpg Why Choose Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/7d5fc3ff-a841-4cf6-a63f-3fdcf66e664f/Screen+Shot+2023-07-18+at+3.28.47+PM.png Why Choose Us Scheherazade Madan Collins, MPhil, MA, LMFT (90931) http://exceedyourperformance.com/resources daily 0.75 2023-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1453258289641-SC4NFOVDZQXMBZIW3OT3/SM+sunset.2.jpg Resources http://exceedyourperformance.com/peak-performance daily 0.75 2023-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/5ea29a7d-1a22-4642-a972-f99fe4cc87ac/Screen+Shot+2023-08-01+at+12.26.06+PM.png Peak Performance Consulting - Peak Performance Coaching http://exceedyourperformance.com/home-ready daily 1.0 2023-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/96f734fb-9961-4194-98e2-b381f4e6f228/Screen+Shot+2023-07-28+at+8.51.55+AM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/1691687600419-LQCL6J78PJYLYNR24HKM/image-asset.jpeg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/d20022ff-9672-4657-a248-5e743a7dba59/shutterstock_1436517377.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/458f21ed-5d7f-443d-8eb0-95433ce594dc/Brainwaves-What-You-Need-To-Know-Cognitive-Solutions-Learning-Center.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569b0e53be7b96bf7731329f/31c9247b-df0b-488c-8343-35a471aa21b5/Screen+Shot+2023-08-03+at+1.26.11+PM.png Home - empowerment in motion soar into excellence We are committed to empowering individuals to reach their peak performance.
