Limitations of the American Academy of Neurology and American Clinical Neurophysiology Society paper on QEEG

A committee of experts, including physicians and psychologists, has drafted this response to the American Academy of Neurology and American Clinical N europhysiology Society's (AAN/ACNS) paper "Assessment of Digital EEG, Quant itative EEG, and EEG Brain Mapping," edited by Dr. Marc Nuwer.(1) It is the opinion of this committee, supported by the leadership of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) and the Society for the Study of Neuronal Regulation (SSNR), that the AAN/ACNS report is biased an d contains factual errors. This committee, as a body representing AAPB and SSNR, is concerned about the accuracy of the report, its scope, and the dam age that it may cause in the health care and science fields. The AAN/ACNS c onclusions, as they are currently written, should not be considered the def initive opinion on digital EEG.
