Brain-imaging technology to investigate the causes of your condition.
At londonScientific our team of clinical neuroscientists, chartered clinical psychologists and researchers use a combination of brain imaging, biofeedback and psychological testing to investigate the causes of your condition. Instead of relying on the traditional classification of symptoms and the one-size fits all approach of medication, we use imaging technology to identify specific brain areas that may need attention. Defined by rigorous scientific standards, this emerging methodology is also known as personalised medicine.

The safety and efficacy of our measurements rely on the combined assessment of your autonomic nervous system function, brainwave patterns, psychological profile and everyday life circums-tances. During this process you will learn about your brainwave patterns and ways to understand the relation between neurophysiological aspects, relevant behaviours and health outcomes.

Conditions assessed
Some of the condition we assess include Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Addictions, OCD, Trauma and PTSD, Stroke, Autism, Epilepsy, Early Dementia, Traumatic Brain Injury, Insomnia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Hypertension. All our techniques are safe, non-invasive, have been approved by Ethics panels in the UK and abroad, and can be used with children and adults.

Quantitative Electroencephalography QEEG
The EEG is the measurement and recording of electrical brain activity commonly referred to as “brainwaves”. The QEEG (the Q stands for quantitative) is the transformation of the digitized EEG data into colour maps of brain functioning called “brain maps”. The EEG was developed in the 1920’s by the German neurologist Hans Berger but has recently recovered a central place amongst the best brain imaging techniques due to recent software developments, including independent component analysis (ICA) that enable the location of sources of electrical activity deep in the brain.

Event-related Potentials, ERPs
ERPs show how information travels across the surface of the brain (or cortex) with great accuracy, within milliseconds only. As such, they detect important shifts in brain functioning, showing how thought processing may vary between individuals in real time. This dynamic view of the brain, featuring high temporal resolution, differs from other powerful imaging techniques such a the fMRI, which are static. ERP information about how the brain actually functions, is crucial to help design personalised rehabilitation programmes and assess differences objectively, after an intervention.
