A major obstacle confronting mental health care has been lack of tools that 1) help tie the relationship of brain function to human behavior, and 2) utilizing such tools in a cost effective manner so that both the healthcare provider and consumer can objectively select best therapeutic modalities and validate that the chosen therapeutics are achieving targeted outcomes which ultimately saves time and money. Quantitative EEG which integrates multivariate statistical methodologies with the integrative use of machine learning and artificial intelligence is now emerging to offer new ways to resolve rehabilitative challenges for psychiatric and neurological rehabilitative concerns.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the difference between clinical versus actuarial approaches in assessment and treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurological problems
• Identify at least 4 major clinical populations that can benefit from qEEG assessment for treatment planning
• Describe 3 therapeutic modalities that qEEG can play a major role in the treatment of patients
• Describe at least one major ethical concern when applying Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) methods for treatment
