Why the Baseline Study?
The Baseline is an excellent method to clearly understand your brain wellness TODAY.
​
As you age, or if you have an incident, you will have a clear understanding of how your brain performed PRIOR to the incident or aging. Imagine how much easier it will be to quantify change or set goals to continue your personal potential journey.
​
Ideally, mind matter project aspires for every person to get a baseline QEEG every 15-years to evaluate brain wellness over their life time.
​
Many athletes in training are already required to have a QEEG prior to continuing in their sport.

Finally! You will now do the QEEG.
-
The technician will measure your head and make a small mark on your forehead.
-
An EEG cap will be placed on your head with your hair pulled close to your scalp. For the electrodes to read your brainwaves, they need to be very close to your scalp. The cap is secured to an elastic band that is wrapped across your chest and under you arms, pulling the cap tight. An ear clip will be placed on each ear as a ground.
-
The cap is then connected to an amplifier and the technician will begin applying conductant through the cap onto your scalp to ensure the electrodes in the cap can register your brainwaves.
-
You will be asked to relax, and sit quietly for 5-minutes with your eyes open, then sit quietly with your eyes closed.
-
The technician will confirm that your test results were recorded.
-
Once confirmed, the technician will assist you in removing the cap and hand you a towel to remove the conductant from your scalp.

Your baseline is complete!

All minors must have a guardian accompany them during the review session.
8.
Get to know yourself!
Your Review Session is your opportunity to understand what your brain is telling you about you.
We want you to have a clear understanding of what aspects of your brain are functioning just as they should, and what is capturing our attention - it may be an overactive part of your brain or a particularly quiet part of your brain.
​
Your brain waves are compared to thousands of other people's brainwaves from a normative database. We use this data in conjunction with the results of your cognitive performance test to assemble a comprehensive view of behaviors that may be part of your daily life. You will also receive a score the reflects the magnitude of a traumatic brain injury.
​
In the Review Session, we discuss our observations summarized in the Review Report, review the supporting documentation from your scan and test, and check-in with you for understanding and questions.
​
Based on the observations of your Review Report, we will make suggestions to help you remove roadblocks to reaching a higher functioning version of you. These suggestions are aimed to help you modify daily living habits to improve your quality of life.
​
If for any reason, we suspect there is a serious illness or condition that warrants immediate medical or psychological attention, we will reach out to you as soon as we are aware.
