Concentration

Concentration is not just about the duration for which attention is maintained. It includes the ability to focus on the appropriate stimulus, limit the impact of distractions, and regain focus when attention shifts.

​

The ability to concentrate can vary depending on sleep, stress, physical condition, environment, interest in the activity & level of demands.

The functional image may include:

  • Easily distracted by external stimuli or thoughts

  • Difficulty maintaining attention for a prolonged period of time

  • Difficulty regaining attention after interruption

  • Frequent omissions or errors when performing tasks

  • Difficulty organizing or completing activities

  • Procrastination or frequent switching between activities without completion

  • Mental fatigue when performing demanding tasks

​

These difficulties do not constitute a diagnosis in themselves & do not necessarily indicate ADHD. They are assessed in relation to their frequency, duration, the circumstances in which they occur & their impact on everyday functioning.

The contribution of qEEG Brain Mapping & EEG Neurofeedback

qEEG Brain Mapping does not directly measure concentration, does not determine the cause of attention difficulties & does not function as a standalone diagnostic tool. It records & analyzes the electrical activity of the brain, providing data on its function, which is taken into account with the history & overall picture of each individual.

 

During EEG Neurofeedback, the brain receives real-time visual & auditory feedback, which changes depending on its electrical activity. Training can focus on functions related to the regulation of wakefulness, maintenance of attention & its recovery after a distraction.

 

The program is designed individually, based on the qEEG Brain Mapping data, the history & functional profile of each individual. EEG Neurofeedback can be integrated into a broader support framework & does not replace specialized medical, psychological or learning evaluation nor appropriate interventions, when these are required.

With the aim of:

  • Improving the ability to regulate alertness

  • Strengthening the ability to maintain attention

  • Limiting the impact of distractions

  • Improving the ability to regain attention after an interruption or distraction

  • Supporting accuracy & consistency in performing activities

  • Limiting the impact of mental fatigue on daily functioning
