Résumé

QEEG and LORETA have been applied successfully to neuropsychiatric conditions for both diagnosis and treatment guidance using EEG neurotherapy. These techniques aid in providing localization of the sources of normal and abnormal EEG. However, there is confusion about which statistics offer the more accurate data for source density localization. The average clinician is not able to assess the differences in the two most popular data processing programs currently on the market. This paper compares a side-by-side evaluation of NeuroGuide™ and EureKa™ in order to help the reader visualize the differences between these two imaging programs, which have resulted in different maps. This study compares and contrasts both software programs using pathologies with confirmed spatial localization to assess and evaluate their differences and to understand how to use each program to obtain accurate information.
