Key takeaways
ADHD qEEG — at a glance
- • 19-channel qEEG
- • Theta/beta ratio analysis
- • Frontal asymmetry analysis
- • Comparison to normative database
- • Clinician review and plan
qEEG is one of the most-researched brain-based assessments for ADHD. It quantifies the theta/beta ratio, frontal asymmetry, and other markers that distinguish ADHD subtypes and inform personalized treatment.
Symptoms and concerns we address
- Need for objective ADHD data
- Considering stimulant alternatives
- Stimulants caused side effects
- Mixed picture (ADHD + anxiety + sleep)
- Want a plan personalized to your brain
- Adult ADHD evaluation
- School performance concerns
- Career or executive-function concerns
What a qEEG actually shows for ADHD
The theta/beta ratio is one of the most-studied qEEG markers in ADHD research. We also look at frontal asymmetry, coherence between attention networks, and patterns that distinguish inattentive, hyperactive, and combined presentations.
Subtype matters
Different ADHD subtypes respond to different protocols. The qEEG personalizes the plan to your subtype, age, and co-occurring concerns (anxiety, sleep, autism, depression).
Coordinating with prescribers
We coordinate with prescribing physicians when stimulants or other medications are part of the picture. The brain map gives the whole team a shared, objective view.

Frequently asked questions
›Is qEEG validated for ADHD?
The theta/beta ratio is one of the most-researched qEEG findings in ADHD. It is one tool in a clinical workup, not a stand-alone diagnostic.
›Should I stop stimulants before the qEEG?
Discuss with your prescriber. Our team will guide you through pre-qEEG instructions before the appointment.
›Adults too?
Yes. Adult ADHD evaluation is one of the most common reasons adults book a qEEG with us.
