What is the course about?
Electroencephalography is a window into the brain's functioning in real time. This course will teach you step-by-step how to understand, "read," and interpret EEG and QEEG signals, from the basics to neuromaps and clinical phenotypes.
IMPORTANT: You don't need to purchase any equipment to take this course. The course will include a separate section dedicated to different types of equipment and how to select it based on your area of work and practice.
Over the course of 11 lectures you will:
✔️ Understand the basics of neurophysiology and rhythm generation
✔️ Learn to read frequencies, recognize patterns and artifacts
✔️ Master the clinical logic of QEEG
✔️ Understand how neurotherapy protocols are built
✔️ Explore the relationship between anatomical structures (Brodmann areas) and brain rhythms
✔️ Learn to connect brain function indicators with behavior, learning, performance, psychological well-being, and difficulties in children and adults
✔️Understand what equipment you need to choose for your future practice based on your goals and area of work.
Lecture 1
EEG Basics: Understanding Brain Rhythms and How They Are Recorded. This section covers the basics and fundamental concepts. We'll discuss how EEG works, how it records the brain's electrical activity, the different types of waves, and why it's important to a specialist. This is your first introduction to the language of the brain.
Lecture 2
Reading Frequencies and Rhythms – Alpha, Beta, Theta, Delta, SMR, and More. This lesson will help you understand frequencies and rhythms. We'll study alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves, understand their meaning, and how they relate to attention, relaxation, anxiety, and cognitive activity. This is the foundation for understanding human states through EEG.
Lecture 3
From raw data to quantitative analysis. From EEG to QEEG – why brain mapping is needed and how it differs from a simple EEG. We'll discuss how to move from raw EEG to quantitative analysis (QEEG). You'll learn what brain mapping is, what a brain map looks like, and how it helps identify hidden suboptimal brain function and disorders. We'll also introduce modern analysis tools.
Lecture 4
EEG Artifacts: Distinguishing Real Signals from "Noise." This lesson focuses on artifacts—erroneous signals unrelated to the brain. These can include eye movements, muscle tension, or electrical interference. We'll learn how to recognize and filter these signals to avoid confusing them with genuine pathology.
Lecture 5
Electrode montages and placement – 10-20 system and beyond. Types of systems and caps (electrodes) – dry, gel, sponge. This lesson will cover the topic of montages – diagrams for placing electrodes on the head. The accuracy and interpretation of the EEG depend on how and where the electrodes are positioned. We will review international diagrams and learn how to apply them.
Lecture 6
Brodmann fields and Network Neuroscience (an interdisciplinary field of neuroscience that studies the brain as a system of interconnected networks).
This extended session is a true bridge between brain anatomy, its functional areas, and EEG interpretation. We'll delve into the map of the cerebral cortex proposed by the German neurologist Karl Brodmann in the early 20th century, which is still used in neuroscience and neurotherapy. We'll examine the approach from the perspective of neuroscience and brain networks. We'll explore a new, modern approach: Network Neuroscience—an interdisciplinary field of neuroscience that studies the brain as a system of interconnected networks, rather than isolated regions.
You will learn:
• What are Brodmann fields and how are they numbered?
• Which areas of the brain are responsible for what: from motor skills to empathy and memory
• How do these areas correlate with EEG and QEEG activity?
• How disturbances in certain areas manifest themselves in rhythms and frequencies
• Why frontal fields are linked to attention and self-regulation
• How to visually navigate brain maps when interpreting EEG
What is Network Neuroscience?
What are the main networks and how to apply the knowledge of this method for development, correction and restoration.
Lecture 7
Phenotypes and Norms in Adults – What's Considered a Normal Variant? This lesson focuses on phenotypes and normal EEG in adults. We'll explore how the brain "looks" normally in different people, what patterns are considered typical, and how the brain adapts to thinking style, stress, and age.
Lecture 8
Attention and Sleep - EEG during wakefulness, drowsiness, and sleep. This session will explore the topic of wakefulness and sleep. You'll learn how brain rhythms change depending on activation levels, what happens when falling asleep and waking up, what sleep phases look like on an EEG, and what hypnagogic transitions are.
Lecture 9
Normal EEG in Children – How the Brain Develops and How It's Recognized on an EEG. Focuses on pediatric EEG. Brain development in children differs from that of adults, and this is reflected in rhythms, symmetry, and activation patterns. We'll examine how brain activity develops with age and how to differentiate between normal and abnormal.
Lecture 10
Wave morphology—sharp, slow, complex patterns. This lecture will immerse you in EEG morphology. You'll learn about the different waveforms, how they appear in various psycho-emotional states, and learn to recognize patterns. This is the transition to a more subtle practical interpretation.
Lecture 11
Patterns of Disorders – Epileptiform Forms and Seizure Profiles. We conclude the course with the topic of abnormalities. We'll discuss epileptiform patterns and seizure activity profiles, learn to recognize abnormal signals, and understand their implications for diagnosis and subsequent interventions.
