convert raw data to QEEG ?

jjhdc1 · April 2017

Hello all

Just wondering if anyone is using software or can direct me to software that will convert the raw EEG data to QEEG? I am looking at these products for a clinical setting non research purposes.

QEEG implies you have a package such as Neuroguide, BrainDX, etc. These can read (typically 19 channel) data from a variety of hardware amplifiers. But also including EDF, BDF formats which are industry standard exchange formats. The OpenBCI GUI output can be converted to EDF use the search boxes in the right column.

These QEEG apps contain a "normative database" of healthy subjects. To which the sampled data is compared, then sorted into Z-score (standard deviation) bins for display on colored head plot graphs.

Thanks for the reply. I am currently looking at options for using EEG, HRV and EMG to measure autonomic function. I currently have no instrumentation or software. I am trying determine if I can use the Open BCI board and collect the data but also interpret the data in a simple visual format to explain to my patients. I am aware of stand alone systems that will do all the above and convert the EEG to QEEG, but the costs are beyond what I am interested in a this time.

QEEG apps such as Neuroguide, HBI and BrainDX are indeed priced with more clinical users in mind,

Another option if you don't need the normative comparisons, is Pete Van Deusen's TLC system,

You mention "measure autonomic function". These QEEG / TLC apps are not geared to that, but rather EEG only. There are a range of HRV related apps that take ECG data and estimate autonomic stats. But this is completely different and separate from EEG stats.
