This is the first of a few posts with a variety of ways the EEG can show an epileptogenic process. The morphology of the underlying process are quite dramatically varied.
The two images below show the referential and sequential montage display of an active right temporal-parietal spike and slow wave focus, [...]

How EEG can Show an Epileptogenic Process
Epilepsy and EEG
Epilepsy and EEG have been inextricably linked since the 1930s, when Frederick and Erna Gibbs discovered that epileptic events were visible in the EEG. The evolution of other medical imaging in the 1970s and 1980s provided a better way to localize tumors, and the clinical use tapered off in areas other [...]
First Direct Evidence of Neuroplastic Changes Following Brainwave Training
The scientific and academic press is now considering Neurofeedback as one of the ways neural plasticity can be induced/enhanced. The paper below shows the NF training changing the brain’s plasticity measurably within a single feedback session.
This may not surprise too many old-time NF practitioners, except that it is now being proven [...]
Drug exposure and EEG/qEEG findings
A technical guide by Jay Gunkelman, QEEG-D
General comments:
There is a generally reciprocal effect between alpha and beta, as brain stem stimulation desynchronizes the alpha generators, beta is seen. During states of under-arousal, this relationship is not seen, as when the subject is alerted, when both alpha and beta increase.
The point is that the arousal level [...]

Brain Mechanisms Meeting – February 11th to the 13th, 2010
Brain Mechanisms Meeting From February 11th to the 13th, 2010, professionals of Neuroscience are invited to attend the most important international meeting of the year, that is going to take place in Madrid, Spain. See full PDF in English or Spanish
It’ll be the first Neuroscience Multidisciplinary Meeting hosted by the Brainmech Foundation in Spain [...]
Neurofeedback and the Brain
Neurofeedback is an emerging neuroscience-based clinical application, and understanding the underlying principles of neurofeedback allows the therapist to provide referrals or treatment, and provides clients with a framework for understanding the process. The brain’s electrical patterns are a form of behavior, modifiable through “operant conditioning,” with the excessive brain frequencies reduced, and those with a [...]
New research shows: Neurofeedback is an ‘Evidence-Based’ treatment for ADHD.
Nijmegen, July 16th 2009 – Neurofeedback – also called EEG Biofeedback – is a method used to train brain activity in order to normalize Brain function and treat psychiatric disorders. This treatment method has gained interest over the last 10 years, however the question whether this treatment should be regarded as an Evidence-Based treatment was [...]
Thalamic Involvement in the Generation of the Alpha Rhythms
Alpha… it’s not a simple idling rhythm… let’s look at alpha generators:
The thalamic involvement in the generation of the alpha rhythm is being under-valued when looking at the LORETA images of alpha current source generators. The alpha power may come from the sources that LORETA identifies, but the thalamus is intimately involved in alpha [...]
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: LORETA findings
Thanks to Jay Gunkelman who made a very informative post on January 27 on this forum entitled Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. There he described the EEG patterns that we should expect and detect when evaluating for AD or other dementias.
I’d like to just throw out there a few other findings that were discovered in a [...]
