Clinical and medicolegal neuropsychological assessment

Specialising in the testing and evaluation of brain function, for the purpose of detecting, quantifying and treating abnormalities arising from psychological disorders or physical trauma. Methods include an appropriate mix of neurotherapy (sometimes called neurofeedback therapy) and psychotherapy. Also for profiling intellectual ability and identifying cognitive strengths and weaknesses.

The service is provided for professionals, medical and legal practitioners and patients seeking clarification of psychological and organic trauma.

Assessment involves newly developed neuropsychological and neurophysiological testing procedures to provide accurate, reliable, and objective measures of brain function, by directly monitoring and measuring the functional activity of brain cells during various states of arousal and information processing. These methods have been used extensively for diagnostic purposes relating to head injury, memory problems, early Alzheimer's, impulse disorders, vascular disorders, intellectual impairment, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties and fatigue.

Quantitative EEG/Neurotherapy

EEG assessments (power, phase, coherence, asymmetry) are provided as preparation for neurofeedback therapy (i.e. Quantitative EEG or QEEG). Single hertz bins, z-scores relative to large database (>5000 points matched for age and gender).
